Top kek, I knew their products were shit but I never imagined they were too incompetent to make a safe charger. Something even the smallest companies out there accomplish.

Their stock price is still basically double what is was supposedly at the peak of the company in 2011, the last of the Jobs years.
>>
>>52678753
Are they literally not looking out for their customers? Fucking retard.

>>52683437
Actually, that's something pushed forward by HP and IBM, back when both of them actually cared about enterprise laptops.

What the shit?

Huh, I guess Apple's just notable for bringing it to all their laptops

They're "recalling" the chargers so they can retrieve the voice recordings of the owners so they can pass them on to the NSA>

If by notable you mean doing something around the same time as all their competitors, then yes. If you mean that expensive laptops had features cheap laptops didn't have, then that's very disingenuous.

>>52683800
Again, see
>If you mean that expensive laptops had features cheap laptops didn't have, then that's very disingenuous.
And besides, the main piece of technology comes from hard drive manufacturers, not OEMs. It became ubiquitous in laptops shortly after. Saying apple is notable for this is like saying they're notable for making laptops with batteries.
>>
>>52683840
An expensive consumer line is still a consumer line.

Apple chargers have a hidden audio recorder and now they want people to return them so they can collect the data.

>>52683884
Putting a feature expected of enterprise laptops in consumer laptops is.
>>
>>52683933
Not when said consumer laptop costs the same as an enterprise laptop.
>>
>>52683902
God, can someone spread this rumor?

I want there to be people who refuse/are afraid to give their chargers and get zapped for it.
>>
>>52683971
Moron.
>>
>>52683971
try /b/ maybe
>>
>>52683933
Ah, but it was available in more than just enterprise hardware, at the point where apple implemented it in their laptops it was already available on many other premium laptops.

Again, this is like saying apple are notable for including batteries with their laptops.

I once had an apple charger just burst into flames

It was plugged into my computer, I noticed a weird burning smell, I called my dad in and then we saw smoke rising from the back of the computer, it was the apple charger, next thing at know the charger was on fire

I'm always wary of them now
>>
>>52684072
Flash might be shit but a lot of people make things I like with it. There doesn't need to be any other reason.
