@aglimme@mastodon.online @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org @Epic_Null@infosec.exchange It's a machine. It should turn on when you press power. Apple's involvement should end when you exchange money for the device.

@aglimme@mastodon.online @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org @Epic_Null@infosec.exchange @Gargron@mastodon.social yeah, using Apple "anti-theft" mechanisms to harass people has been a problem for years my ex bricked a perfectly good laptop and iPod when I dumped him and that's when I quit using their products 😕

@aglimme@mastodon.online @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org @Epic_Null@infosec.exchange @Gargron@mastodon.social Also laptop theft from cafes where I live is definitely a significant issue. Well yes, leaving your expensive stuff unattended in unsafe places is a ridiculous thing to do unless theft you're in one of the rare cultures where theft is either unthinkable or there is sufficient abundance that no one would even want to steal anyway.
