How to keep your MacBook Pro battery healthy for years
Nice article with good explanations. If I have an old MacBook that Apple can’t service anymore do you have a recommendation where to get a legit and safe battery? 2011 15” MBP. Thanks! -
Equifax to pay $700 million for breach of 140 million Americans' data
That is not enough. That’s only $5 per American and this type of negligence can cause so much more financial issues for them. Then, the Americans that were impacted don’t even get the money.Edit: Because math is hard.

Apple investigating iPhone 6 explosion in California
You are wrong.GeorgeBMac said:
NONE of that is any excuse for a fire. NONE. ZERO.MplsP said:The iPhone 6 is an old model - first released in 2014 and sales stopped in 2016, so the phone is almost 3 years old at a minimum. The article doesn’t say exactly how old the phone was, but from the description, I would suspect that it was a hand-me-down device the kids were using to play games and watch videos. If this is the case, the battery was likely pretty old and may have been ‘abused’ somewhat. I’ve seen plenty of devices for which the battery is dead and kids just leave them plugged in constantly.
iPhone fires are quite unusual so it makes me wonder if there was other damage and/or a defective charger being used - both of these could lead to the battery overheating. GIven the age, it’s also possible that it had a defective replacement battery installed. Even considering this, though, you never want to have a device explode like this.From Wikipedia with cited references:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery
“Lithium-ion batteries can be a safety hazard since they contain a flammable electrolyte and may become pressurized if they become damaged. A battery cell charged too quickly could cause a short circuit, leading to explosions and fires.”
