Apple Acknowledges Issue With Some Entry-Level 2019 13-Inch MacBook Pro Models Unexpectedly Shutting Down

No. The whole ridiculous use of the word 'gate' being appended to every minute problem needs to stop. This is not a 'gate'. Do you even know why that word was initially used? (without resorting to google?)
The BF KB is basically broken out of the box. It’s how long till it breaks. Repair program proves this.
How do you explain these?

You’re not listening: being a CEO and being a person are not mutually-exclusive activities. There is ABSOLUTELY ZERO LOGIC in the argument that Cook’s sociopolitical activities take ANY focus from his job. You just want to attack the politics, so you draw a conclusion that there’s a causal relationship between the two things. Correlation does NOT equal causation.

You’ll explain it, I’m sure.

heh... Someone hacked my wife's credit card and bought one of these on a popular e-commerce web site (that shall remain nameless). We received notification of a significant card charge which we reported within 10 minutes, which wasn't fast enough to avoid it shipping (WTF!)... We weren't sure exactly what it was until it showed up on our doorstep a day laterMe thinks fast shipping may not be such a good idea??
We reported the situation to the police but when the police officer arrived they just told me to contact the seller and get a return label to send it back. We tried to explain it was an organized theft ring, and asked if there was a fraud unit that could stake out our porch to catch the thief. The officer said "you might think so but no, we don't have anything like that".
The best part: The credit card company removed the charge from our bill, and the retailer has NOT asked for the laptop back.
The laptop is technically "hot" so I can't use it. I'm thinking a "Will it blend" type of experiment? Or some sort of destructive unboxing? This type of end for the POS makes even more sense now that we know it's probably defective anyway.
Please respond with ideas as to how it shall meet its destructive end.
Destroying something that might work just fine is so WASTEFUL. Consult the authorities and find out what the proper handling of the merchandise is. DON’T DESTROY IT. We are a wasteful enough society already.

Apple even can't produce a single model without defect now. Shame.
And the last year..... and the year prior..... and the year prior..... and the year prior....

But they have become quite good at producing every model with one or more defects!
It's part of Apples "You can't ask for better quality" policy because they won't give it.
Yep, but Jobs also hit things out of the park to make up for the goofs. Cook has not hit anything out of the park, hence all we remember is the goofs.
Ugh, these get so tiring.

No one knows how many were impacted with butterfly keyboards either. They still sell the butterfly keyboards and waited 4 years to redesign.
Again, relatively speaking, it probably is a small number of users. Apple sells a lot of stuff (300,000,000 units of stuff per year). If they didn't understand quality control, they wouldn't be in their position.
So are your constant posts in defense of known defects in Apple products.
I remember buying the mac mini, and getting dongles for what Apple thought I might need, in the box. Same with the Macbook Pro. Now it's a $30-$50 upsell.
No one said there aren't some keyboards with issues or a small number of Macs that shut down unexpectedly. However, without real data, stop acting like you know something.
"Defect" is a high bar.
How about the fact that my brand new 2019 16" MBP also crashes whenever it is asleep. Especially when there is an external monitor connected.
You should apply for a job with Apple when describing every single service program they have to create for these defects. They use the same wording as you with "small number". Coincidentally, it's always a small quantifier to describe the problems. Bet, you don't notice that correlation in consistently using terms to downplay the extent of those affected or do you. ?

Wrong.
Software defect: "Wait for software update".
Hardware defect: "Contact Apple for Service" (meaning bring/send in for replacement).
Even worse the perpetrators could have planted a tampered laptop on your doorstep. If they've put malware on it, they can potentially get all kinds of data from a user(s) if you decide to keep/gift it. This is a tough one.
it's shutting down because it wants to be a 14-inch macbook.
Great. This is the unit I own. So far no issues, though. Guess I'll bookmark this page "just in case."
EDIT: Yes, now I recall opening the laptop and seeing some message about my Mac restarting because it encountered "a problem." The crash report seemed to indicate a USB issue. I have an Apple Watch charger and a JBL mini speaker attached to a dongle. The problem seemed to go away when I detached the JBL and charged it separately.

Since hitting out of the park involved introducing products never seen before, it’s silly to try to use that as a metric in a mature marketplace.

Now that’s funny right there, you think he is a leader or someone worth going through all that?
