    16 MBP stupid USB C connection

    Which sodding Genius at apple ever decided removing a quick release power cord was a good idea? I just tangled myself in the cable and yanked if from my desk, which has left a nice dent and set of scrapes on it :( I know it's totally cosmetic but WTF. Why design pretty products, which DO NOT...

    2017 MBP 13" Battery Draining/Not Sleeping When Lid Shut

    I've noticed this to varying degrees over the past few months: I would close my notebook, place it in its case, and keep it in my bag to travel to or from work. I may not use it for a day or two. When I wanted to resume work on the machine, let's say 36 hours later, the battery is depleted and I...
