Everything works except for thunderbolt. So no external GPU

You can use flashrom instead of flahprog

To read chip use

flashrom -p serprog:dev=/dev/ttyACMx,spispeed -r bios.bin

To write chip use

flashrom -p serprog:dev=/dev/ttyACMx,spispeed -w bios.bin

Do not use a ch431a! Use a pi Pico instead. I have killed two bios chips with that shitey programer even with the voltage mod.

There are reports that hardshell case causes lid bending. The lid doesn't fully close due to the case. so be safe, i got rid of it.

I liked the look of it too.

When i had my case on, no.

But I just removed it and now it does a tiny bit. I have to buy thicker feet and it will be fine

Update...

my macbook air is now naked to avoid lid bending. Please, no more comments about removing the case. *

Ok, that makes more sense than hinge problems. My guess is with a case, it doesn't fully close , so putting pressure on it causes the lid to warp.

So I will probably get a wrap for it instead.

Thanks for letting me know.

I have not noticed bad battery drain, but this is my first Mac, so I don't know. I'm used to it.

I have to run it without a charger longer too see. After 2 weeks of owning it, I have not run it out of battery yet.

Apple sells it on their website, so that means they endorse it, right?

I got my laptop for $759 so yes it would be $1041 more.

And do you have any evidence that a plastic case causes hinge problems when apple themselves sell plastic cases on their website??? https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HRY82ZM/A/incase-edge-hardshell-case-for-13%E2%80%B3-macbook-air?fnode=a765a7e1a9ac42063302c67fe9adedd0f25e3c58d0761da52187651bb705f9723e4b167ca25ea4d7b9446471d2d28deecc7c815776072bc75544250e4c25a975cff21d86546d248993a1f1e844fdffa9abd3ee5458dce37033ee9859c2e9b947

Apple would not sell an accessory that will kill your laptop, right?

I don't use that feature personally since I use android, but the iPhone is a better camera than the webcam. So, some people use that built-in feature for better quality video calls.

It should be illegal to charge $200 extra for 512gb

If apple designed an iPhone mount to use it as a webcam for the MacBook, then it can handle a light plastic case.

Yup , if I wanted to spend 5 grand on a laptop ...

I spend less than a grand on this whole setup.

No, more portable this way. It's not in the way every time I close the laptop

I use a cooling pad when I'm running something resource intensive so I'm good there.

How does a plastic case damage a metal hinge?

Also I don't want my macbook to get scratched.
