Programming / Re: My Macbook Screen Went Blank by MountainView: 4:17pm On Aug 01, 2023
GloriousGbola:


This is the thing. Once you are buying IN NIGERIA, you cannot say if what you are buying is actually brand new. There were cases at work where dealerships actually sold the company cars that had been sold and returned as brand new. I have bought manufacturer refurb pcs. If I was planning on reselling I could have removed the refurb sticker and sold the devices as brand new. No one would have been the wiser. So my point is you don't actually know if what you are buying is brand new or we correct one small problem.


Oga I bought my 13 Pro max the week it was released, please tell me what I don't know, and there is also a way to check if an iPhone is brand new or Not, don't try to convince me otherwise when I know what I experienced.

Apple is DRMING their hardware. So with newer model devices if you replace a part with a non oem part or even an oem part whose serial is not recognized there is a risk it will stop working after an update. First I read of this was an iPhone model whose screen or maybe finger print reader stopped working after an update. It's obviously not a big deal in obodo oyibo (or it is but they are cool with apple tax) but it is in naija because the truth of the matter is you really have no idea of your macs history beyond the fact that it is working on the place where you bought it.



Completely fked up as my default behavior is to update any software or is. I have that 2012 mac mini running ventura ( via opencore sha)

And it is harder and harder to bypass apples drm / protections

I on and off follow Louis Rossman on yt. Dude made a name for himself fixing apple products and he has nothing good to say about apples policies with respect to right to repair.

Every year thousands of discarded corporate pcs make their way to places like Nigeria. A little tweaking and they are good to go. But apples icloud is effectively unbreakable and a lot of discarded apple pcs are not wiped before disposing - so they are effectively unusable. angry


I don't think you read the part were i said everything is Brand New

I doubt it, someone would have raised it up and sued apple.

I bought the 13 Pro Max Brand New also the MacBook Pro


When I did the update I noticed the size of the update it was somewhere around 3-5GB I can't remember, I didn't understand the reason why, but I chose to ignore it, the day I changed the screen for the 13 Pro Max the Bolt guy told me how his 11 Pro max screen also went blank for not reason, also a brand new Phone, then my Girlfriend told me about her coursemate 13 Pro Max same issue, the Guy that changed the screen said it's normal issue that it happens for "No reason" it just depends on how lucky you are, omor it was at that point I knew some really bad business practice was really going on, had to go to YouTube omor everyone complaining of same thing.

I'm surprised people haven't noticed that Apple uses Software to kill hardware.

I've been seeing comments on YouTube and on forums where people complain about this I thought it was a joke.

My first experience was after Updating my 13 Pro max
; Within few days the screen went blind, I checked on YouTube saw alot of people saying the same thing.

I spent 340K to get a replacement screen.

Second time was my 2020 MacBook pro,

Just refused to Power on, went to repair it, I was told it was a motherboard issue.

A new motherboard cost about 300K I just had to dump it at home.


Note: this is also after updating the MacBook pro.


I also noticed something on the comments, people who experience these problems are usually not EU or North America


It's Africa/South Americans that usually experience these sorts of problems.

I'm being careful with Apple, this is bad Practice.

Programming / Re: Is PHP Getting Outdated And Not Relevant Again? by MountainView: 5:50am On Jun 14, 2023
Lol PHP/Laravel is now a Full-fledged Arsenal for Software Development... Nobody is talking about it cause time has passed when people Glorify and talk about programming like it's a one field for Super Heroes... Programming has turned out to be a a creative slill just like every other creative skill it mustn't be fantasized.


Learn any Programming Language/Framework and start making money from it and stop waiting for anybody to validate the language... you're not a super hero

Since they don't want to obey, let the Governors put laws in place that "any cattle found grazing openly in the country is also at owners' risk".

Is Nigeria a Developed Country?

Human beings are not cars.

Not everyone believes in the concept of virginity

Morality is subjective

You cannot be insulting, reducing and objectifying people for having sex while speaking on morality. It’s goes beyond sex and dressing.


Not everyone is religious

You can choose not to be with someone who has had multiple partners, but it’s only basic human decency not to shame them from your own moral perspective. Why is this even an argument?

What is this one Saying...?
