  • Honestly, Apple was for years very anti-repair.

    So the manuals are nice but that doesn’t absolve them for the decades of products designed to be hard to repair on purpose.

    I won’t go full Rossmann but seriously Appol very bad when it comes to repairability and reliability. But they can release a few manuals and they are absolved for their bullshit?

    It’s a start but Apple still makes purposefully hard to repair products.









  • Do you have any documentation on how this work ? Is there a name to this special protocol? Is it a recent addition to the wifi standard ?

    Again a wifi AP doesn’t send data to a specific client. So how does an AP can enforce that one client can’t read a frame for someone else that is properly authenticated? How would an AP prevent someone spoofing mac addresses from receiving that data ?

    I’m really confused by this feature I never heard of even when I was playing with aircrack and so on. Yes sometimes your mac address can get filtered but even that is not really difficult to avoid.

    Sorry I have so many questions but I honestly did quite some “tinkering” with wifi years ago and none of this sounds familiar.





  • The problem was solved by Nvidia, then AMD made it cheap and accessible and not requiring a dedicated hardware module.

    For years and years Nvidia increased artificially by up to 150 euros many Gsync screens and for no legitimate reason. Initially there was NO compatibility with free sync at all.

    Nvidia wasn’t kindly solving a gamers problem at least to after the first year of release of that tech. They were forcibly selling expensive hardware modules nobody needed or wanted. And long after freesync showed you could do it just as well without this expensive requirements.

    This hardware module they insisted on selling wasn’t solving a technical problem but a money one.

    I don’t even think anyone was ever able to differentiate between the different qualities of “sync techs”.
