    So how does a firmware update fix a fan?

    @bpapa9013 - Is now an ego maniac thanks to his new star ->: Likely it spins the fan up at a lower temp threshold than before to keep it cooler.


    Apple has done this in the past w/ previous Macbooks, so it isn't exactly as if this is new or news. In fact, many hardware companies do this to fix overheating issues.

    Finally, releasing such an expensive product in that shape is just wrong. Though the way Apple treats their customers lately I've come to expect nothing less.

    @imTheKing: That's a horrible analogy. When you buy a computer you expect it to work properly right out of the box, especially when it's at minimum a $2,799.00 purchase. Tires wear out, though I would expect that BMW to come with a set that will last at least a few miles.

    @Dafrety: yeah and when I pay $40k for a BMW, I expect the tires to last longer than 10,000 miles. Do you blame cows for bad milk?


    Was the last Nvidia fuck up Apples fault as well? Is it Intels fault that AMD is 5 years behind?


    Not in the least.

    Yeah, cuz who the fcuk cares about quality control? Somebody else made it, let them worry about quality control! It's not like our name is on the box or anything.
