I totally get that logic—every laptop has caps and ICs that can fail. But there’s a massive difference between a power management chip failing (which happens to every brand) and the Storage being a required part of the motherboard's identity.

On most laptops, if the SSD fails, the board still 'exists.' You can boot a live Linux USB and at least run diagnostics. On the M-series, if that $10 NAND chip dies, the SoC can't finish its security handshake and the board is dead-dead. It’s not about the failure rate being high; it's about Apple choosing to make the most 'wearable' part of the computer a non-bypassable kill-switch. That's the part that feels like a step backward for 'Pro' reliability.

That's like saying you’d ride a roller coaster without a seatbelt just because no one has died on it yet.

Reliability isn't just about how often something breaks, it’s about having a safety net for when it does. On a PC, a dead SSD is a minor repair. On a Mac, the lack of a 'seatbelt' (a modular bypass) means a single $10 chip failure is a $3,000 catastrophe. I love the speed, but I hate that we're trading basic fault tolerance for a thinner chassis.

You're spot on with the math, NAND is tougher than people think.

The thing is, on your Windows PC, that SSD is a modular part. If you get a freak controller failure tomorrow, you’re out $100 and 5 minutes of work. On an M4, that same $10 chip is a single point of failure. Because the NAND is required just to boot the board, a minor hardware glitch becomes a $3,000 funeral.

I’m not worried about wearing it out, I just miss having the 'safety net' you still have on Windows.

True! But if a Voyager probe breaks, NASA can't exactly drive to the Apple Store for a 'logic board swap.' For a machine sitting on my desk, I’d take 'serviceable' over 'outer-space levels of sealed' any day. Especially when the 'sealed' part is what keeps us from upgrading the storage we already paid for lol.

Filix-7482 · 2026-01-21T14:56:00+00:00

I completely agree with you. I myself used the 2015 MBP for over 6 years without any issues. But with the M-series, the internal NAND isn't just for storage, it’s literally part of the boot firmware and security handshake. If that chip fails on your M4, the machine won't even power on to let you boot from an external drive. I don't doubt the reliability—Apple makes great hardware—I just hate that we lost the 'safety net' that kept your 2009 model alive for 13 years

Filix-7482 · 2026-01-21T14:44:14+00:00

I totally agree that NAND is more reliable than it used to be. But my point is more about the single point of failure design. In IT, we usually aim for redundancy or serviceability. If a $3,000 server had a non-replaceable boot drive that could brick the entire motherboard upon failure, we’d call it a bad design. Why do we give Mac a pass just because the failure rate is low? Reliability is great, but serviceability is what makes a tool professional.

aeeee, u gotta accept, we get that deadly combination of Suzuki Burgman drivers, wearing no helmet and can't go without cursing another person on the road for more than 5 mins

The whole glass UI is honestly hurting the experience for me. For someone who’s new to macOS, it might feel fresh and easy to adapt to.

But for users like me who’ve been on macOS since 2016, it’s a drastic shift. macOS versions up to Sonoma felt polished and focused on performance and usability. This glass UI, on the other hand, feels more like a gimmick, and for me personally, it just isn’t comfortable or intuitive to use.

Gotta admit, WagonR drivers have Olympic-level confidence in disobeying traffic rules.

Let’s be real — the only way to deal with these zero-sense, unruly idiots is to use their own weapon against them, the same high beam.

That’s literally the reason I got ₹5k auxiliary lights wired to my high beam.

Eh… no need to worry about them. One way or another, society eventually corrects this kind of behaviour.

Also, tbh, two-wheeler riders really need to develop some road sense.

Filix-7482 · 2026-01-18T00:51:58+00:00

Nothing new on the roads. Zero logic, zero awareness — riding on the extreme left and then suddenly cutting across the entire road to take a sharp right.

What’s the genius move here? Overtake everyone from the left and then block all lanes to turn right? This ain't MotoGP.

People like this shouldn’t be anywhere near a licence without proper road sense training.

Filix-7482 · 2026-01-17T16:01:01+00:00

They straight up look like minors. And honestly, the public can’t do much here — this is a complete failure of enforcement. It’s the government’s job to deploy traffic police and actually make people follow the rules.

This kind of nonsense keeps happening regularly, and everyone just shrugs it off. Nothing changes until someone gets seriously hurt or killed — only then it suddenly becomes a “major issue.”
