Why the fuck would you not DIY

Apart from the Mac Pro line their products are not DIY repair friendly down to the engineering (at the very least of the shell), probably in part to funnel casual users back to their repair shops and squeeze them. Honestly I would have second thoughts fiddling with this type of device myself as a casual. But I'm sure there is plenty of tutorials to do so and it's perfectly feasible.

.

These folks pay $1000 for "it just works." Do you expect them to understand stuff an IT service person does? :doge :doge :doge :doge :doge :doge :doge

Also I remember that to open the original Mac Mini, you needed a paint-scraper to slide into the case to "pop" the case off. You expect folks that pay $1,000+ to do something like that to their vanity item? :lol

GAF I'm absolutely beside myself right now
I'm sad and mad and I feel totally helpless

I don't get on Facebook much, but my sister texted me and asked me to go look at what she posted.  I don't think she had the heart to say this in person.  She asked me to share it since she knows I'm into gaming



I'm 80% sure I know who the guy is, but I won't say it until she is ready to say it.
What do I do?  How do I handle this as her brother?  She is finally ready to share her story but I know she doesn't want me fighting her battles.  She's smart and strong and an amazing girl.  I'm just mad and sad.

Help.

It was, but there are many things pointing towards it not being a fake. If the person in question didn't make it up, at least.

The person who posted that on FB definitely had contacts with him, let's put it this way. So if some 3rd party 'shopped that post, it's fairly elaborate and kinda comes out of nowhere.

Kind of feels like a Voat fake. They remind me of 4chan. It wouldn't surprise me that they placed it on Facebook to feign legitimacy before bringing it elsewhere. I'm no fan of EvilLore or his throne on turd mountain, though.

I'd be careful w/ that EL stuff because if it's false then who knows if he might try to take action against sites or individuals reposting it for perceived damage to his business and reputation.

I don't think anyone here claimed it's likely to be true.

It could still be an "elaborate" fake, or from that actual person but she made it up :yeshrug.

It looks like the next few weeks / months on twitter etc are going to be a shitstorm of accusations like "so and so grabbed my boob in 1993". It's ramping up fast, and I doubt it's going to do any good in the long term.

That’d actually be hilarious since NeoGAF basically tries to pin sexual assault on anyone, even in cases with less evidence. Louis CK is condemned over there even though the supposed victim came out and said she wasn’t talking about Louis.

No, he won't. Again, Lore will not spend a dime that he absolutely doesn't have to on this website, let alone pursue a completely fruitless libel lawsuit. On the rare occasions anyone actually brings shit like this up, the posts will be nuked and completely forgotten by anyone outside of this thread.

“Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication,” Bush warned in remarks at the Bush Institute’s Spirit of Liberty event in New York.

"Bigotry in any form is blasphemy against the American creed and it means the very identity of our nation depends on the passing of civic ideals to the next generation. We need a renewed emphasis on civic learning in schools," Bush said. "And our young people need positive role models. Bullying and prejudice in our public life sets a national tone, provides permission for cruelty and bigotry, and compromises the moral education of children."

Guess I should chime in since I'm being named.

In a private group convo, one of my fellow participants brought up the fact that EL got #MeToo'd on FB. I saw someone on my feed telling a story an hour prior that could've fit but I didn't read it too closely, was skeptical and posted a shot in our convo.. I was then directed toward the comments and lo and behold, there was the name. Was a holy shit moment for me, and something of a letdown too, having met both the accuser and the accused IRL. Posted that shot in our convo as well. Came to the realization that this should only really go public if the accuser wants it to because it's her story to tell, and the rest of the participants in the convo reached the same consensus, or so it seemed. I deleted the shots from our group chat. Turned out one of the people in there saved the shots, and gave them to another person who then posted it on Voat, and did a godawful job at concealing the identity of the accuser and myself before doing so. She doesn't deserve to get doxxed and harassed by the internet mob if she's not ready for it, and it's solely for that reason that I didn't want this getting out there, which is why I regret sharing that shot in that group convo.

But yes, it's real.

The name was edited out.  Backtracking into the person via other sources and matching the fabeook profile picture is how she was found.
