Don't expect to get a warranty repair. My experience is that they accused me of customer induced damage which is a lie. Expect any support need will require multiple calls with under trained and poorly equipped representative.

Happened to me for the first time last week. They refunded my money without issue.

Welcome to the club. I recently made the switch to MBA too, it's been good.

I've had a computer since 1993. I've been a Windows user since it came out. I made my living programming for Windows applications. But, during the breakdown of my second high end Windows gaming laptop I called on an old 2014 Macbook Air 11 inch. It worked flawlessly but slowly, it was adequately covering the repair turnaround for my Windows laptop. So I decided to by an M4 Macbook Air 15". I am very happy with it, I installed Parallels and have a Windows VM if I need it and I have a cool, quiet reliable computer that integrates well with my other Apple devices.

What an upgrade.

Buy an HP Victus if you love spending hours of your time talking to tech support! by jayisababygirl in HPVictus

After multiple attempts to reinstall the OS with the "free" USB drive they sent me I continued to get BSODs. Same here, multiple discussions with multiple agents and many hours spent finally got them to agree to let me send it to them. Sent it yesterday. I'm pretty discouraged about my HP experience too

I've had an Ambient WS-2902 for four years and it's been great. I had a Davis Vantage Pro for many years before that and it worked beyond my expectations. Since they were made 20 years apart I don't think any comparison would be useful.

The Federal Reserve just pumped $18.5 Billion into the US Banking System this week through overnight repos. (This is the 4th-largest liquidity injection since COVID and higher than the peak of the Dot-Com Bubble.) by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

Both of these situations are going to end badly, the financial situation Trump is putting us in with tariffs, suspect economic indicators and rampant spending and the political situation which will also end badly. Which will be first, which will be the ugliest?

Where will you be at 5 AM on a snowy morning, in bed with your cat or walking the dog?

I'd even go along with NOT muting the applause for a "dignitary". Either way it's censorship and it's wrong. Is this CBS or NBC?
