    Magsafe died--seeking hack advice

    Hello. First post here. Read often, never asked. I have a 2009 17" MBP. Still works great, but I am on my 5th Magsafe L adaptor (after the demise of my 3rd T adaptor). At some point it would be cheaper to buy a new laptop than to keep replacing these pesky magsafe cables. So I had a stupid...

    MBP 15" late 2016 break-safe charging cable

    Hey guys, I've got an update from Griffin that their break-safe cable will work but will provide only 60W instead of 87W provided by the regular MBP 15" charger. Are there any similar break-safe cables ready to provide full 87W?
