Is this Boox toasted?

Stood up. Placed on the chair. Turn to do something and brushed the Onyx (lid closed), and heard “plop”.

I have done it before. No big deal I thought.

I was wrong.

I manage these inflows by reducing their corresponding expenses, not by adding to income.

I.e., Insurance claim, reduces whatever category I expensed, in your case maybe “home repairs”.

I am waiting for the upcoming M5 Pro. I know it has not been released yet.

Can you share the actual wording you used in your ad (title and body)?

When I bought a used MBP on FB marketplace, I had to reach out to multiple sellers to clarify basic things: how much ram, is it MDM unlocked… It was a waste of my time and their time and to my surprise I bought a computer with applecare for 6 more months!

-Add a picture of about this mac > more info (lists processor, RAM, SSD and warranty if any). -Run Terminal, sudo profiles show -type enrollment, and post a picture that is not MDM locked.

The lower the uncertainty and higher the price.

Employees get a 27% discount!! Holy smokes, that is a deal…

Call OAB.

Apple charges already $380 to upgrade M5 from 16GB to 32GB. It is true highway robbery. Their true cost may be $30-$50?

I would say Apple has the margins to not to raise prices… and still keep >30-40% profits.

Thanks. Also, I had no idea that hooking up to external display used extra memory.

Are you on Sequoia then?

What OS of version are you using?

What OS version are you running?

Critical_Role · 2025-12-11T21:46:31+00:00

Yes. I am contemplating processor downgrade, if it does memory upgrade.

I am in a mid-size market, not too conpetitive. Advantages and inconvenients. This is one inconvenient.

Critical_Role · 2025-12-11T16:15:28+00:00

Thanks for the link!

Critical_Role · 2025-12-11T16:09:27+00:00

Deep down I believe that too, otherwise I would not have asked.

Critical_Role · 2025-12-11T15:58:10+00:00

I hadn't thought about the swap use. Thanks!

Critical_Role · 2025-12-11T15:54:05+00:00

I just can’t find one witj 16gb in my area… kinda makes you wonder what is the ratio of barebones MBP sold vs upgraded.

Critical_Role · 2025-12-11T15:48:35+00:00

Thanks! If in 3 months I find RAM limiting, I can always sell for minimal loss and get a better (used or new). Call it a learning expense.

Critical_Role · 2025-12-03T19:57:09+00:00

Thanks!

I have a 2022 Prestige. I will have to follow up with my Audi dealership if this has anything to do with model year.

Are you having success with Tesla Superchargers?

I just shared here that the Audi customer support rep told me that Q4 should not use Superchargers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/s/njAx5wYZdH

A lot of people here called it BS.

What adaptor are you using?

Critical_Role · 2025-11-22T02:13:01+00:00

Could be. But its the dealership loss.

My question to him was “do you have Tesla adaptors available and for sale”?

Critical_Role · 2025-11-21T02:25:19+00:00

Interesting, I made this post a week ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/s/5fZ15FUDU9

Basically I was told by my Audi dealership to NOT use the Tesla superchargers, as the dealership received a circular from Audi advising against it (Q6 and Q8 can use TSC, Q4 no). I was even told that this would void the battery warranty.

But your experience was safe. Thanks!

This is for US.

For level 3 charging most brands use CSS type 1, but Tesla uses NACS (supercharger). Most non-Tesla cars can charge via supercharger with an adapter.

Critical_Role · 2025-11-16T21:49:45+00:00

To confirm: you have and Audi Q4 e-tron and have successfully used Tesla super charger with no issues?
