    paeschli got a reaction from mr moose in Microsoft joins Epic on the fight against Apple   
    Just a little story for a bit of perspective:
    We're in the late 90s, Microsoft makes IE the default in their OS. They are not preventing any third party software, they don't demand a 30% cut of whatever software is downloaded through IE and they are not the gatekeeper of anything. 
    They are completely trashed by the media and every tech guy on earth. This ended up with Microsoft being found guilty of abusing their monopoly position by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
     
    Now we have Apple only allowing their own app store to be present on their OS, and they demand a 30% cut on everything that is downloaded through it. And yet this thread is full of iToddlers defending them.

    paeschli got a reaction from 5x5 in Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Apple for MacBook Pro Flexgate Issue   
    As reported by iFixit:
    A similar issue has appeared on my gf 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro (A1707 model) with the screen glitching out (as if it was a GPU issue) once you open the lid more than 5 cm.
     
    We were quoted a 650€ repair by an Apple Premium reseller (Apple Stores are still closed due to COVID-19).
     
    Any advice on how to proceed? Get it fixed by Apple and hope for a refund in the future, send it to an independent repair shop in the hope it ends up cheaper, or wait until Apple acknowledges the issue?
