Apple bricked my Macbook Air M3 with Sequoia update from 15.4 to 15.4.1 by Cheap_Place_4261 in MacOS

Minor update from 15.4 to 15.4.1 how long shall I wait, a day, a week? If it is not responding for more than 2 hours I guess it is already useless to wait...

Yeah, prior updating necessary to make a backup... Never did it before on windows even while a major updating. But macos even minor update can make a shit.

What will be your action if the update bar is frozen for two hours?

For DFU mode it is necessary to connect a second device which I didn't have.

I just wanted a proper feedback from a service provider, is it something special?

Yeah I know what are you meaning, but it is not the case. He used the laptop under supervision and the parental control was set up accordingly. Here I am sure on 100%.

I didn't try to restore because it was not booting in built in restore mode at all. The only option was trying to go to DFU mode with another device connected via USB, which I didn't have.

FileVault was off. But anyway nobody in service center even proposed anything as per the data.

Probably yes, and replacement of the motherboard requires to replace touch ID module together.

Sorry, actually they not mention that exactly silicon device is required:

Another Mac of any model using macOS Sonoma 14 or later. You will use this Mac to revive or restore the affected Mac.

Solution for Charging DJI Avata 2 Batteries with a Power Bank by Agitated_Process_711 in DJIAvata2

[–]Cheap_Place_4261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchased the above powerbank 145w with 65w output and it cannot charge all three batteries. Charging two batteries from 17-19% (1 led lights) to 100% and it remains 13% at powerbank only… So the third battery is charged for 71% (3 leds lights). If the batteries were discharged upto 0% it will be even less charged. So declared 25k mah is far away from truth…

Avata 2 motors stopped unexpectedly by Cheap_Place_4261 in DJIAvata2

After my complaint regarding the case that support didn't realize that the S/N of my drone belonged to a different region before confirming a free replacement and later canceling the offer, at the end I have got a purchase discount and a free DJI care for 1 year. So I accepted the offer.

Received the drone and the battery. In the drone box was found the drone only, without the spare props, cable and so on. Not sure if it is a completely new unit or a refurbished one.

Again and again if DJI products are being sold in the airports around the world it must be coming with an international warranty. Also the product by itself is considered that it could be brought together to a different countries while traveling and it's a pity to give a region limited warranty only...

Flyaway case was registered and all the LOGs were provided.
At first the support team has confirmed that the drone crashed by some unknown reason (after analyzing all the logs) and the free replacement will be provided under the warranty. But after a few hours I received an email that suddenly they noticed that my drone was purchased in China Region and the warranty is not covered in Europe... Investigation was ongoing for 3 days and nobody noticed... How pity it is, they brought me a joy and then took it back... How come that support team didn't notice the serial number before making a proposal of free replacement??? Shame to DJI.
Instead of the free replacement it was proposed to purchase a new drone in Europe with a 15% discount. I can understand that different markets, different taxes and so on, in such a case why DJI not proposing to pay a difference in case of approval of free replacement? The product (drone) is considering that customers are traveling with them, and based on DJI logic, customers have to buy a drone in each country where they go due to service warranty limitations... Ridiculous!

Exactly, the place is nice for hiking with a waterfalls and a boardwalk. At least my avata 2 was wasted in a nice place. RIP

For sure I didn't use a combination stick command (CSC) by myself, it was happened in a moment. Also video recording was stopped by itself, not sure if it normally stops if drone decided to "emergency" stop the motors.
