What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • They did fix this for a short time in 2015/2016 but I had already cut my losses and sold it as spares/repair https://www.macrumors.com/2017/05/20/apple-ends-2011-macbook-pro-repair-program/

    You could sidestep the issue by modifying the bios to disable the AMD chip, and only use intel integrated video. That did work to give you a somewhat usable laptop & retrieve your data. When you fork out for an Apple product though that is precisely the kind of thing you want to avoid!

  • What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • Yes! My sister got me one of these for my birthday almost 10 years ago and it is still going strong. Definitely recommend. The wooden handle is looking a bit worn but that's it.

    I am a big fan of vented umbrellas. Every other umbrella I've owned has let me down eventually by flipping inside out. Once that happens you can't trust it again.

  • What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • I bought a Sebo X1.1 vacuum cleaner when i moved into my own place in the late 90s.

    I have had all sorts of dyson models and bagless & cordless is very convenient, especially for stairs. But nothing beats the brute force suction of that Sebo. Its still going strong today

  • Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users?
  • Everyone's rushing to implement/improve AI. AI needs a ton of data, Reddit/Twitter are good available sources. Reddit/Twitter would prefer to sell this data as opposed to having it gathered from under them by bots, for free.

    I think that's why Twitter and Reddit are rushing to restrict access (directly or through the API).

    Youtube are just aggressively serving you ads, and limiting ways for you to circumvent ads. I think that's just what they do as they have the market sewn up
