I bend all my cables and it’s all my fault. I put my laptop on a pillow or drop it.

It happens to all the brands.

I’ve recently been bringing my laptop to bed to watch TV with my pup, knowing full well I’m risking a catastrophic somethingorother. So far we’ve had good luck, most of my worry has shifted to what havoc will be wrought when I inevitably fall asleep and my pup has full unsupervised keyboard access.

Laptop fell off my bed recently and damaged the screen connector. I am having the screen replaced but Apple’s authorized service center says they need to wipe the drive. I will probably spend a few days configuring everything again. Such is life.
