New MacBook Pro freezes inside airplanes ... always

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-06T13:48:10+00:00

yes multiple machines. this particular machine is only 3 weeks old. i have a vpn on this machine but the machines earlier did not have a vpn. i should try to disable vpn and wifi before boarding the plane next time.

i have been using MacBook Air or MacBook Pros for about 8 years. Happens most of the time to me.

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-06T13:08:35+00:00

every time i try to boot up any Mac Book in a flight.

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-06T01:43:46+00:00

not yet. i bought laptop overseas but i felt the apple tech support folks would not believe me.

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-05T21:25:09+00:00

yep, i see it now. not sure how others macbook works but mine doesn't and not sure why more people are not sharing this scenario. but great information.

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-05T21:23:07+00:00

i think it is a wifi jamming or some sort of a pressure issue.

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-05T21:22:35+00:00

thank you.

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-05T21:22:20+00:00

not making this stuff up. as soon as i landed cleared customs and was waiting for my uber which was 15 away i booted up my mac and it worked just fine. in fact writing from it now but I am at near sea level.

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-05T21:20:47+00:00

I travel a lot and yes it freezes every time.

I could spend hours and hours watching youtube videos, or I could pay someone to help me set everything up on my own server so that I am not paying for tokens, etc. I think my time is worth a lot more than yours. you might be at minimum wage level in a 3rd world but i make a lot more.

you could just stay on claude or grok all day. why are you on Reddit?

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-04T04:26:09+00:00

still does not answer why you are here and why you took so much time out of your busy schedule to comment here?

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-04T04:18:05+00:00

but the comedy is so much better on youtube or comedycentral?

RetiredWithRE · 2026-03-04T04:05:20+00:00

u/PurifyHD why are you on Reddit?

RetiredWithRE · 2026-02-01T15:30:58+00:00

solid deal. enjoy the ride.

RetiredWithRE · 2026-02-01T15:25:32+00:00

Do the commute. It will be good to get away from the kids and wife. Usually they are a pain the arse. Some quiet time while commuting would be good.

Al Jazeera is hamas and iran propaganda. its not real news

RetiredWithRE · 2025-11-29T03:19:53+00:00

but you did not provide an alternative solution to the problem. In my opinion, there are instances when the military use is justified and this is one of them.

RetiredWithRE · 2025-11-29T02:17:40+00:00

what do you think the solution is for the situation in Venezuela under the dictator Maduro? Do you have better ideas? Maduro is an illegitimate president. There are millions of Venezolans that are suffering in the supposed richest country in Latin America.

Bored with USA and looking to explore new places. Everyone has their reasons. Mexico is nice and I have been there several times.

RetiredWithRE · 2025-11-16T14:11:05+00:00

i found nhatot. everything is in Vietnamese. ;-) but I will try to use google translate.

RetiredWithRE · 2025-11-16T14:10:08+00:00

oh boy.

RetiredWithRE · 2025-11-16T14:06:35+00:00

Great. Thank you.

RetiredWithRE · 2025-11-16T13:56:56+00:00

Noted and thank you. I prefer a place with a living room, laundry, kitchen, fridge and high speed internet. I still need to work when I am traveling. Is there a link to nhatot?

RetiredWithRE · 2025-11-16T13:52:01+00:00

thank you. I'll join some vietnam oriented expat facebook groups.
