*INHALES*

And then there are shops that are not Apple authorized because they perform competent board repairs to save you money, instead of just replacing the entire board and telling you your data is toast. You also have machines like the iMac Pro that otherwise cannot be repaired because Apple authorized people aren't trained on it and parts are not available from Apple.

So why should the laptop be disabled after this repair?

You're forgetting the people who buy these devices and don't have easy access to an authorized Apple repair center. Lots of countries will sell them but you can only service the devices at a couple of locations.

This is nothing but shortsighted stupidity.

>So why should the laptop be disabled after this repair?
So the attacker cannot scan for vulnerabilities and exploit them, after "repairing" the hard drive, or disabling the security chip, or installing malicious hardware.

Rosmann on suicide watch

Remember that apple only does this to save you from an unauthorized pajeet screwing up your machine.

>So the attacker cannot scan for vulnerabilities and exploit them
Still possible with non-hardware "repairs".

>after "repairing" the hard drive, or disabling the security chip, or installing malicious hardware.
Could be done when malicious hardware is detected.
The T2 chip can't be disabled because it is also the controller for the "hard drive", so disabling it would mean having no access to the internal storage.

This is bullshit, there’s literally a video of Linus and Louis Rossmann replacing the motherboard and screen of an iMac Pro and it booted up fine

It's a plan for their newest devices, and it isn't in place yet.

>Could be done when malicious hardware is detected.
That's what it does.

Any non-OEM hardware is seen as potentially malicious.
And since Apple doesn't sell OEM parts to third parties, all their repairs are seen as potentially malicious.

In this case it's not about Apple getting more money from repairs, it's about beefing up security, so they can use it as a selling point.

As opposed to the brain squad who just tells you it's fucked and the data is unrecoverable as soon as you walk in the door

I would rather if unauthorized pajeet fixed my machine rather than bricking it because Apple made it impossible to repair without an unlock code.

NO WONDER ROSSMAN BURNED DOWN HIS SHOP TO CLAIM INSURANCE LMAOOOOOOOOOO

>mactoddlers can't be trusted to maintain their own devices
That actually makes a lot of sense.

>>Could be done when malicious hardware is detected.
>That's what it does.
>Any non-OEM hardware is seen as potentially malicious.
You just conflated malicious with potentially malicious, because you're a complete fucking moron.
Any unknown USB drive is potentially malicious, so should the Macbook lock itself down when you insert one until seen by an Apple Authorized repair agent? No. That'd be fucking retarded and it's exactly the same.

Is this the new OH NO NO NO thread?

It locks out even when replaced with apple hardware.

>muh secure for own good
Good goy.

Sayyy... what ever happened to that porn kill switch that was built into PC motherboards by law a decade or so ago?

>Any non-OEM hardware is seen as potentially malicious
The it's only fair that Apple lock down the USB C ports so that any device connected must identify itself as Apple OEM equipment that has never been connected to another machine before it can be electrically connected to the computer. People might plug in a flash drive that contains viruses, or a USB killer.

>iToddlers will defend this
Apple should start shipping dildos with their products, the regular Apple user will be greatful.

What?

it was the building next door.

Imagine believing this is somehow OK.
Normie genocide when.

MUH RITE TO REPAIRRRRRRRRRRRR

With the possible exception of flash drives, I wouldn't put at all put this past them.

mac has repairgate

they only do this before the warranty is up not after fucking cringe Jow Forums is retarded

Imagine the amount of mental gymnastics you'd have to go through to view this as a good thing.

lol

>they only do this before the warranty is up not after
>the laptop is tracking your warranty and applecare status

Yes, Macs have a serial number. You can even check your warranty status from your computer.

A part on my expensive electronic device that I need for work unexpectedly broke through regular daily use and no fault of my own, rendering the entire device inoperable.
A replacement part would cost very little, and the labour required to install it is minimal.
Apple refuses to repair it due to warranty technicalities.
I am told that buying an entirely new device is the only way forward. Hearing this, I politely and reasonably complain that it is unreasonable not to repair a device that broke due to a design flaw.
The customer service representative is having a shit day, and logs on their internal service network that I am a 'problematic' customer and should not be assisted in the future.
I can no longee take my device to any other Apple store, nor can I take it to a third-party repair service.
Later, my other device, also from Apple explodes due to a known design flaw, killing two of my three children, critically injuring my wife, and rendering myself a quadriplegic.
After wheeling into an Apple store, I am told that I cannot have the 2nd device replaced due to my internal linked customer profile flagging me as 'problematic'.
I buy two expensive new devices, since both are essential for my work.
After paying to bury my kids and for medical fees, I can't afford rent for our small apartment.
My wife leaves me and takes our remaining child.

I can't even plug my fucking headphones into the new device.

kek

Serial number which it polls their webservice to check status of.
This feature locks out your laptop on first boot after repair, not after it talks to the webservice.

I think the obvious solution is to reverse engineer the server replies, and convince the system that the warranty is up. It's not like Crapple honors their warranties or lawsuit rulings anyway.

>preempting malware with your own proprietary malware
And that's a good thing.

>This is done for security blah blah blah
What a load of shit this would be easy to fix
>Have Apple login that generates a unique hash code for your hardware
>After repairs are done you input this code and carry on
It's secure because you need to login into your account to get this code. Apple is doing this purely to gouge customers and they know their userbase will keep paying no matter how much they get screwed over.

this is not legal. they will be brought to court and get fucked

I don't get it, how exactly would this affect desktop hackintosh?

>By now, you may have heard that any Mac with an Apple T2 chip now requires proprietary tools to complete most repairs. However, our tests on a 2018 MacBook Pro revealed that Apple indeed has a kill switch in your laptop—they just haven’t flipped it yet.

Apple knows that this chip is being installed on their customer's laptops when they take them in for repairs, so they are limiting the damage by trying to stop them from making these unauthorized modifications by Rossman and co who are clearly in with the Chinese.

Samefag
Hackintosh is just the OS

Yeah, it would be bad if you could somehow access data that used to be yours after apple decided to take its ownership.

>In this case it's not about Apple getting more money from repairs, it's about beefing up security, so they can use it as a selling point.
No, it's about you not having the ownership of a device you bought. It has nothing to do with security.

oy vey that will be 500 dollars for official apple repairs, thanks goyim

At this point, the only thing that's missing is a middle finger printed on the front portion of the box of apple products, literally.
