AppleCare is not warranty (but is an equivalent), while AppleCare+ is the equivalent of insurance. I've edited my post to clarify this a little better.

Since Apple make no distinction between "malicious damage" and "accidental damage", then everything is called accidental. However, there are times where accidental damage is covered under warranty (or rather, a "service program") when there's an issue that's widespread enough that is attributed to a manufacture or design defect -- the warping of the plastic on the bottom of the Late 2009 Macbook comes to mind.

To be fair, accidental damage is never covered under "warranty" (or any other extended service guarantee "warranty equivalents") from any manufacturer. Given these black rectangles go everywhere with us, it's still very good to have a device that won't absolutely crap itself as soon as it gets dropped in water.

I say this as someone who often sees customers bring in water damaged devices, wanting their data off of it.

Frankly though, I wish the term used was "water resistance" and not "waterproof". That semantic annoys me.

You call it "seasonal decorations", I call it "furniture" since it makes the patio suitable and comfortable to be out on.

100% Imagus, I can pick that spinning ball of doom from out of a lineup anytime.

It was asked what "he", as a person, was up to recently. Not "What's the latest news on Michael Jackson?" as a topic.

That's the mistake that ChatGPT made in its response.

CNN reached out to Twitter for comment on the status of the severance package for the former employees in the Ghana office but received an automated response – a poop emoji. It’s unclear whether Twitter still has a media relations department.

Unclear?

Sadly, it lost me at no extensions (currently). Just because it has its own password manager doesn't replace the universal accessibility of Bitwarden between devices.

The XU4's are pretty damn beefy SBC's, I was considering one for the longest time.

That laptop looks pretty cool though
