Can we just take a second and appreciate the magnet boi?

I just tripped over my cable and rather then sending a 3k laptop smashing into the ground it just popped on off. Holy fucking shit.

Yeah, I can't imagine having a laptop without magsafe. Apple are fucking idiots.

Here's an idea- stop being a fat clumsy fuck and you won't trip over your cables.

>3k laptop
Ah...the price of antiques.
Seriously speaking, though, it was a decent thing, but your example is overly exaggerated.

It's hard to prevent someone else from being a fat clumsy fuck and tripping over your cable. Better to have magsafe than to have to replace your charger and jack or have some retard send your laptop flying.

I fucked up my old Toshiba shitbox tripping over the cable and smashing it into tile. Barrel jacks are shit. What are they using these days?

Accidents happen man.

i think they stopped using them as there were a large amount which set on fire desu. I have some of those chink magnet phone chargers they're awesome so i imagine this was too

No wonder it is gone, I just noticed.
But those ipad pros have magnetic locks for their special connection made for Apple's keyboard/case combo things.

Never had any problem in magsafe.

Would a third-party magnetic break-away USB-C cable actually be safe, given laptop-tier wattage?

This. My fingers are the only parts of my body that ever touched the cable.

>still using a broken charging cable
people who suffered this deserved it

I've been using a completely frayed to shit mag safe charge, with exposed wires everywhere that I literally had to twist together for it to even work and I never had a fire, even when the wrong wires touched and ti sparked and shit, been using it that way for well over a year too lmao.

Some people just suck at tech.

>It's hard to prevent someone else from being a fat clumsy fuck and tripping over your cable.

Don't put your cables where people can trip over them, duh.

>broken charging cable

Why is that even a thing with Apple in the first place?

I have never had a broken charging cable on any device ever.
That's probably over 100 different devices using all sorts of charging cables and not once did one break yet Apple cables seem to break all the time what's up with that?

Remember that their target is mainly stupid people

No they're unironically courageous. They're the only company out there that cannibalizes themselves before others do. This is something Steve instilled in the company before anyone says blublubhurrrr appul iz different now rip steev. They axed their own beloved power connector in favor of embracing the all-USB-C future as hard as possible.

>i think they stopped using them as there were a large amount which set on fire desu.
The problem with magsafe isn't the connector, it's that Apple uses the shittiest rubber possible for the cables which breaks easily after about a year of use.

They shouldn't use rubber at all.

Rubber always gets brittle over time.
Plastic lasts way longer.

I'll bet they only use rubber to seem more "premium" at the cost of actual quality, same as with glass backs on phones.

>They shouldn't use rubber at all.
I agree

>I'll bet they only use rubber to seem more "premium" at the cost of actual quality, same as with glass backs on phones.
They like the look and feel of it when it's brand new, they don't care how it will be in a year. If they just made the actual cable a little bit thicker it probably wouldn't break either. The rubber on the actual AC part of the cable never breaks or deteriorates because it's way thicker.

I like the idea but I also like the cable not coming out unless I Intentionally do it

>MagSafe

>It's not made by Mag technology Co.
>And it's not safe.

>spending 3k on a fucking laptop
jesus christ bro

No USB-c on iPhone, shill.

You suck at tech with your comment

I love these things.

Doesn't stop someone else from tripping on your cord. Plus, you engineer for things risks that are likely, not for wishful thinking about what risks you wished were less likely.

The Microsoft(R) Surface(TM) Laptop doesn't have this problem. :^)

i dropped mine in a cup of tea once

>spasms out for a couple of minutes, light blinking then not working anymore
>gets its shit together after 5 minutes
>has still been working ever since

thank you based magsafe 2. not sure how other connectors wouldve behaved though
