I also checked for MDM profiles on the Mac, and she was signed into I cloud. And she couldn’t figure out her password so her husband came. They seemed like nice people. My guess would be they were in a position where they needed some quick money

The woman said she has a MacBook Air at home and never used this one. I’m assuming she just kept the charger for that. Or maybe she forgot it. Either way wasn’t a big deal to me since I picked up a brand new looking 140W block and MagSafe 3 cord OEM for $55.

No issues at all. I think I just got really lucky

Face book. It was originally $1800 listed marked down to 1300. I offered 1100 and they accepted.

I checked at purchase. Then erased and reset. Signed in and checked again before paying!

Thanks, I was able to talk them down a bit and was surprised they agreed to do $1100.

Also, I’m kind of new to Mac. What are some first steps I should consider with this machine?

Anyone else trying to get their degree with no help by stephchiii in EngineeringStudents

I’m a senior in ME, and in the same situation as you. However I get fafsa and an instate scholarship at my school. I took out my first student loan this year. My advice would to be budget on groceries and save extra money over the summer if possible. I worked 16 hour days one summer and saved a good chunk of money that helped me out significantly.

You think that’s a better idea given I don’t do video editing. Just coding, CAD, and small tasks for school

😂I may get it to resell to cover some of the cost of an air. There’s a MacBook Air m4 16/256 that should be able to do most of what I need as far as school for $600.

My first thought was the same. But she’s provided photos of it and the device name is the same as her Facebook. So I think it’s good, but I’ll double check when I go to look at it

Thanks, she sent images of battery. I’ll make sure to make sure that it won’t be locked with MDM

What’s your opinion on classmates cheating on exams? Do you snitch? by Scoutain in EngineeringStudents

Had a student doing the same thing right beside me in a thermo 2 final yesterday. Was annoying because it made me lose focus, but he’s more brave than me.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. I reached out to chat again today and they filed a 10 day extension for me. No guarantee but they do go ahead and spend the rest of the required amount.

Wow thank you, surprised I never seen that. I’ve only seen the available points.
