The more than $600 Mac battery replacement!?!

"top case with battery and keyboard for my MacBook Pro cost $615.12"

And that's if you do it yourself. Is this the new normal?

Details here, laid out by @lapcatsoftware —

Sometimes I wonder if the airplane safety rules nudged decisions against changeable batteries in a hard case towards something in a flexible casing, that might leak before it overheats and ignites.?

This is totally tangential but I am curious if it is faster to totally backup let’s say a full terabyte of data with the the new M chip devices. It used to be overnight to 24 hours. It is something I might wish to do right before taking a Mac load iPhone in for repair.

From @gruber on Apple / OpenAI deal:

"OpenAI is — according to multiple reports — not only looking to create its own personal computing devices, they’re considering partnering with Jony Ive and LoveFrom to do it. They’re setting themselves up to be frenemies with Apple before the first partnership is even announced."

Google went down this "frenemies" path before Android existed. Interesting take on OpenAI as the new frenemy. I buy it.

Altman is problematic enough on multiple fronts I would not be surprised if the deal falls through. Nor would I necessarily mind.
