Apple diagnostics software blocks third-party repairs of 2018 MacBook Pro and iMac Pro
Can someone tell me why replacing a faulty display, or power adapter would require this ridiculous policy? Display, battery or power adapter are probably the most common items replaced after warranty, have nothing to do with the T2 "Fort Knox" but Apple requires this diagnostic be run if you replace your battery or power adapter?
Consumer laws will prevail and despite the "do not tamper with label" that is BS and doesn't hold up in court, neither will this.
Would I desolder chips to make a repair? No. And neither would 99.9999% of people. But I might want a cheaper power adapter or a replacement battery at some point and I have the right to make such repairs myself without being forced to pay a repair shop.
Maybe it would be best if Apple just welds the MBP and iMac shut so no one can tamper with it? -

App Roundup: Google Duo, Office 365, Reeder 3, Viber, more!
Office 365 just keeps getting better and better. 6 users and unlimited device installs...nice!
Affinity seems to be killing it with their Adobe-replacement software. They now have the trifecta of apps...all they need is a really good PDF application, and we could say goodbye to the "rip-off machine" called Adobe! The only problem is Adobe file formats are so entrenched in the "Pro industry" that the Affinity software would need to be compatible with the same file formats, and I'm not sure, but I don't think they are. Baby steps, I guess...
