No! All Apple (and some other companies but its easier to slag Apple off) products are screwed after a coouple of years and you MUST buy a new one. Built in redundancy, the new obscelence...

That's not actually true of course, people take in older Macs to be fixed all the time, and there are how-to guides all over the web.

Yeah, I know that, but can they repair my macbook?

BTW the new Macs have a double layer 244 keys keyboard as no one else has and they come in a variety of ecologically sound packaging with a vibrant mix of hues...

Probably, but why not use this as an opportunity to purchase a new one

Yep, I could do that. I was considering another toy though;

I guess it's not too risky to post that now that OH isn't here.

Are you on Twitter when it appears? Apparently they've introduced a blue line to "connect conversations", which, as usual with their attempted UI "improvements", is a universally hated train wreck that makes everything worse

I use Tweetbot, and am thus immune from their wretchedly amateurish efforts

Next time it comes back take a screenshot so we can see what you mean.

...has appeared on the screen of my macbook this very evening.

Does this mean it's fooked and I'll have to buy another one?

Should this be in Technical?

Ah!

It's gone now!

Oh, maybe not...

It's back!

Yes it should....

It's gone again now. Thanks. Can you post something about the kachangas every time it comes back?

I give up....

Were you trying to do something productive?

FTFY

[scooterscot]

Were you running a microsoft program?

[MaryPoppins]

It's pregnant?

What have you been doing to it?

Oof. He's dirty.

[d000hg]

Is it a thin blue line?

It's probably the police.

British comedy at its ... best?

Obviously not a genuine Apple product.
Take it back and get a refund
