    Dude, why the hell are you wearing a mask for? Are you really that brain washed? There's something serious wrong with you is all I know. You definitely deserve an unsubscribe from anyone who still has half a fully functioning brain cell left. Wow just Wow..?

      Three reasons.
      1) I work in a store that has 14 employees, and about 3-7 customers at any point in time, located in a city that has more coronavirus cases & deaths than almost anyplace in the world.
      2) I have a brain.
      3) I can read. www.preprints.org/manuscript/202004.0203/v2
      When I am alone, I wear no mask. When the store is empty late at night and I am the only one here streaming, no mask. When I am around dozens of other people who frequently walk into my office to talk, and customers, mask. I have it, and they do too.
      To all offended by my choice to have myself/customers/employees wear a mask at work based on studies you never bothered to read: I welcome your unsubscription.
      To all offended by the fact that I did NOT close my store in March, which would've meant
      a) paying $80,000/mo in rent/payroll with $0 income
      b) leaving thousands of people with broken devices, unable to work from home while their workplaces are closed
      c) over a virus that has killed 27 people who match our company's demographic github.com/nychealth/coronavirus-data/blob/master/deaths/deaths-by-underlying-conditions.csv
      I also welcome your unsubscription. I actually would love to see you put YOUR money where your mouth is - put $72k/mo into a paper shredder. You won't. You'll lob insults and holier than thou "HE PUTS PROFITS OVER PEOPLE!!11", but you won't put $72k/mo of your own money into a shredder, with no lockdown end date in sight.
      Life is filled with nuance. Think before jumping to an ideologically possessed viewpoint. If you cannot do that: leave. I won't be crying over the missing 2 cents in ad revenue per year a youtube subscriber brings in, that's for sure

      Wearing a mast doesn’t protect you that much, and anyway, coronavirus is not going to kill you. Wearing a mask for extended periods of time will increase your chance of bacterial lung infections, because the moisture we exhale will collect on the inside of that mask, trapping Bactria, which you will then breath in. Of course everyone should be free to decide themselves what they do. No coercion please.

  • @SebastianSonntag
    @SebastianSonntag 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Louis, the more of your repair videos I watch, the more I am convinced that Apple products are designed to be like glamour models: They do everything to look attractive on the outside, but once you take a closer look you discover a host of problems including daddy issues (T2 chips), eating disorders (bad charge circuitry), cardiovascular problems (bad cooling), frail joints and bones (self-destroying display cables), a sub-par immune system (no water resistance) and generally poor mental health (firmware and other software problems). They might be fun for a little while, but once you get sucked into the life style, they'll ruin your life.
    Anyway, the lesson is clear: Don't date a glam model, and don't buy a Macbook.

      There is other side. My Apple products never broke. I still have working Mac, Air and etc. I think Louis is overreacting. I had a lot of PC laptops that just died from spilling, I have my mainframe PC tho that serves me well. Many professionals use Macs and iMacs without a slight problem. Depends on why you need them and what your financial capabilities are I guess. But price could be lower tbh, but they offer a credit now. Many people just don't know why they buy some expensive stuff, just to be cool.

    Hey Louis, mad wild watcher of your channel for a couple years now. Keep up with the real estate and policommentary too. Now need some advice! Have ended up with a dead macbook a1708 pro dropped in my lap with red nogo icon. Was working fine after i reset it and installed the earlier OS. This week it has decided to stop charging. It will stay on at 1% when connected to charger, dies when unplugged. Says battery needs service. It has updated itself to catalina over this period as i think it only reset correctly under sierra. Just wondering if I can use a standard usbC 15w charger and leave in plugged in when off to see if battery will charge (i.e is it a cable/charger issue) and should it show anything when doing this? Any other tricks to try or are we at CD3215/power supply circuit? Thanks in advance. Have tools and ability, just been a pc/androider for a long time.

      Here is a dumb explanation of why use flux. It allows solder to flow better, get a better grip on pads, and allows it to solidify into a better connection.
      The corrosion around the CD3215 has affected the connections between the chip and the board.
      Reflow using flux allows the corrosion to be burned and flowed off, leaving healthy pads to connect the chip to.
