You always have to consider what you are purchasing, and Apple parts are not exception either.

During 2000s, I had a Powerbook G4. It's charger was famous for cable fraying, because SJ hated stress relievers. So I went through three original replacement chargers, where each developed the same defect.

The fourth one was third-party pc-like brick, except in white. That one never needed replacement.

All the more reason for Apple to provide parts to consumers and repair shops instead of withholding them only for authorised resellers (which often come with way more restrictions and rules than just how good they repair stuff).

Worst about this personally is how to distinguish between good and reasonably priced or bad and expensive. Because it's easy to know whats bad and cheap.

Given the situation happened, was the fire caused by either the right to repair or the laptop going through a repair? Why did you drag the "repair" and "a bad charger causing a fire" into one category?

What a horrible strawman argument to make.

>Why did you drag the "repair" and "a bad charger causing a fire" into one category?

Because a charger doesn't have some magical ability that makes it the only kind of device to cause this. The fire could just as easily come from an equally poorly made third-party battery...

What a horrible, rude, violation of the principle of charity.
