I lost my MBP yesterday, someone stole it probably. Is there any way of finding out where it is? I've tried icloud.com/#find with no luck, seems like I never registered it on there or something.

Literal shill thread >Buy the 2016 touch bar macbook It's a complete piece of shit, soldered in SSD, no physical escape key, useless bullshit gimmick bar that even the most loyal of apple cumgobblers on the internet don't like, smaller battery and lower battery life than previous models. >Why macbook pro? Reads like bland marketing, and only some of it is true. The touchpad is the best on the market, but the keyboard is only mediocre chicklet garbage, and it got worse with the 2016 models. Screen is always very good, and the feel of the build quality is superb, but >great durability highly depends on the model, the 2013 and 14 MBPs were good, but almost everything else quickly fails that was built after 2010. Thermals are fucking atrocious across ALL models, to the point where it's not only causing throttling and faster component failing, but where it physically hurts to have the thing on your lap if you're doing anything GPU-related. >Easy to repair and upgrade Are you fucking kidding me? Not even apple themselves advertises that, you can't do shit by yourself with macbooks, and your recommended model, the 2016 Touchbar MBP has EVERYTHING, even the fucking SSD soldered in. No battery replacement, no RAM replacement, no retrieving your data if the thing dies. All you can do is go to apple and pay a fuckton of money for tasks that you could easily do yourself with any other laptop.

>Excellent Linux support Utter bullshit, it takes so much fiddling around to get everything working. Synaptics Touchpad drivers are servicable but don't properly detect palms which is absolutely mandatory with a touchpad that large. GPU Switching is an occult method where you have to boot into OSX, manually disable the GPU for the next reboot, and then boot into Linux every fucking time you want it disabled, and reboot when you want it enabled. Firmware can only be updated and properly configured under OSX. Media keys and every other little cutesy gimmick they build into these things never work out of the box, and for some of them you'll never get them working. Also, good luck using Linux without an Escape key or Function keys on the touch bar macbooks. That alone probably makes them the worst laptops you can buy if you want to run Linux.

How to rice my MacBook air? Mainly looking for a grid-like snapping feature for Windows. I used i3 in arch. I found Divvy. Similar? Anything better or free-er?
Would also like to change the color of the title bars and top menu bar. Options to change fonts or widgets or something. Would enjoy a way to change the look at the dock to a flat theme as well.
Considering putting budget aside for the rMBP but this is my first Mac experience it'll have to do.
