My favorite part about setting up Windows on a new machine is the part where it asks for a product key /s

Well, I finally got my MacBook Pro back from Apple. To fix the keyboard I'm pretty sure it was just an issue with the connector on the logic board. According to the service receipt all they did was clean the inside.

Stick the pokey things in the holey things.
That works in both modeling and real life

Apple is once again in possession of my Mac to “repair” it. Also I asked the lady I talked to do have them swap out my power brick but idk if that’s gonna happen or not. Might have to contact them specifically regarding the brick

Screw Apple.
I got my “repaired” MacBook back today. Upon opening it I started restoring from my Time Machine Backup. I sent a picture in my excitement to @iamdarkyoshiwho promptly pointed out that the keyboard backlight was broken! Argh!!!
I also went to plug in the Mac (the original reason for the repair was that no AC Brick was detected but said brick would charge my iPhone and iPad) and I was greeted with nothing...To test I plugged in my Grandmothers Samsung Quick Charger and was greeted with a charge chime!
So that means my power brick is partly dead. But the Mac can receive power. But now my Keyboard needs to be fixed.
I’ve scheduled another repair with Apple. This time to replace my top case and to replace my power brick.
For reference, it took Apple 14 days to “repair” my Mac.

wouldn't an M1 Mac be in warranty...? in what way does apple benefit from them dying?
anyway @DrMacintosh i do find it ironic that you had one of the most flawed Mac's for years and never had an issue with it, this is supposed to be the better one and well...

@Ashley xDI know! I actually did have an issue with the keyboard and got that replaced, but I didn’t really need to do that. This Mac was bought so I could avoid flexgate and a keyboard failure out of warranty. Then it went and killed itself with the charger and Apple fucked it up.

@DrMacintosh funnily enough my MBP derped itself a few days ago. basically it started randomly freezing again on Catalina and i finally got filled with rage, rebooted into High Sierra which i had installed just in case Catalina derped itself, and then when i tried to delete Catalina to expand the 64gb High Sierra partition, it completely shat all over itself and that caused everything to be deleted from it. it was jsut all gone.
it wasn't the ssd, i put it in a different computer and it's working fine. sooo i don't trust that MBP anymore.
i'm probably gonna jsut buy something like a Latitude or whatever on the used market, i'm kinda done with Apple's recent OS releases. they just seem to be getting worse and worse, while Windows is getting better and better.
sooo we are both mad at apple currently lol.
