          It was a joke. But you can see why I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out true in the end.

          I know for a fact they’re making it impossible to make small repairs like changing the screen closed sensor. It requires a proprietary calibration tool they won’t sell, and so MacBooks can’t go to sleep when closing the screen.

          On top of changing it from a sub $ hall sensor to some proprietary bs that’s far more expensive.
