Apple should switch him to a new model without charge (money, not battery). The advertisement can't get any better.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 0 points 10 months ago (1 child)

Why would they though? They already got plenty advertisement without paying for it.

Because it’s nothing to them and a lot to some Of their market. Also, it would make Trump squirm.

I wonder if he has AppleCare?

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

For real, if there was apple’s extended warranty on it, they might have replaced it after the first explosion, but not the 2nd (unless PR opportunity involved).

But it’s a five year old computer, that warranty ended two years ago.

"sorry, by modifying the hardware you voided your warranty"

I don’t think M1 has anything to do with the topic except as an advertisement. Title could literally be “MacBook Air takes a direct shrapnel hit” (air is relevant since it’s the thinness that matters) and it would be just as effective of a title.

There are minor differences in the internal components, from 2019 to 2020 MBAirs, and a notable case change in 2021.

The 2020 model IS pretty tough, though. It’s the last iteration of 11 years refining an already pretty durable form factor.

M1 Model is outdated and no longer sold.

Can a shrapnel hit be direct?

Can a shrapnel hit be indirect?

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I think so, coz shrapnel is the stuff flying out randomly from the first "hit" 🤔

Would that mean a grenade rarely causes direct damage? The explosion is really only designed to throw shrapnel

I guess that comes down to frame of reference..

You don't have to hit a guy with the grenade itself, the indirect shrapnel will do the work.

parent

[–] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 1 point 10 months ago (1 child)

Yeah, just a thought experiment, because we do consider shrapnel ancillary in the case of a bullet...

I'm not sure if a grenade is a direct or indirect hit

Rockets are similar where we call it a "direct hit" but realistically it's just blowing up a large enough area that the target happened to be in the vicinity...

[–] essell@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Can definitely pick this apart, reminds me of examining forces in secondary school during physics exams.

My thinking on the original point is that shrapnel is never aimed, even if deliberate, as you say it's just there, it comes alongside the attacking action.

Then again, in the sense that shrapnel typically goes directly from one place to another, it's pretty direct

parent

[–] nyctre@piefed.social 2 points 10 months ago

Sure, but even tho it's random, it's still a direct shrapnel hit as opposed to a grazing hit, I think.

parent

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 point 10 months ago

Maybe it would be if the shrapnel itself was going to hit his heart or spine?

Must've been a 'surgical strike' ... by a doctor ... that the Apple kept away.

The missing K is being used to count the MacBook kill.

[–] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 10 months ago

cases like this made hardware sometimes doesn't look very fragile. while I had my laptop shorted and dead during power outage.

though granted maybe the sharpnel doesn't hit vital parts and maybe more modern laptop have better shortage protection compared to my 2015 laptop that was shorted.

Years ago at uni my sister beat the shit out of a would-be mugger in a uni carpark with her macbook titanium. If nothing else, respect them as weapons
