  • How the new Mac Studio fills a crucial gap in Apple's desktop lineup

    I wonder how this compares or differs with the Power Mac G4 Cube released in 2000?

    The average Apple tech is much less knowledgeable and skilled than quite a few independent technicianS. I would trust e.g. Louis Rossmann with my hardware over ANY Apple technician. I mean ANY. There is no technician working at Apple that could do their job as well as Louis does. BTW: I’m an electrical engineer, I design portable electronic devices, and I’ve spent quite a few hours watching Louis’ videos. He displays impressive skills. And often he has to fix a crap job done by, guess who, Apple technicians.

    That man is an idiot. I wouldn’t let him touch any of my Apple devices.

    Apple can at least take the blame if they fu** up. I’ve had Apple employees just hand me a refurbished device no questions asked when I’ve dropped my devices and broken them. Great customer service and no bashing original Apple products to promote some spyware cheap knockoff. 

    What do you mean idiot? why wouldn't you let them touch your devices? You'd be ok with paying full price for a logic board replacement at Apple where one component failed?

    Take a look at their ethics as they won't perform a job they can't do plain and simple.

    Bullshit. And if he wants to become a certified repair person, I'm fine with that, but your other claims are pure bullshit.

    BTW, anecdotes prove nothing

    The problem of becoming a certified apple repair shop for Louis Rossmann and many others, is that they would lose the ability to offer the services they currently offer. He does data recovery for example, Apple does not. If he became certified he would not be able to offer that service anymore.
    Boo hoo hoo.

    boo hoo what? If you lost all your data you won't be saying this, trust me.

    It's not Bullshit! If you accidentally tip your glass of water into the keyboard of your MacBook you're screwed as Apple won't do anything and sell you a new device. Louis Rossmann an independent technician will be able to fix it for way less then what Apple will charge you to replace the entire logic board or the cost of a new Mac.

    Last month I took my iPhone to the Genius Bar to replace a dying battery.  In the process of replacing the battery, the tech damaged the logic board.

    I walked out of the Apple Store with a brand new iPhone for the price of a battery replacement.  A third-party repair shop could never do that.
    Another ridiculous fucking statement, absolute drivel. JFC a course in logic is definitely needed around here.

    @williamlondon, ridiculous in what way? Also, are you in favor of Right to repair or against it?
