Apple Genius Bar vs. Apple authorized dealer for warranty repair? I need to take my Mac in but never used either and there is a longer wait at the Apple store. Do authorizes dealers have your trust?

I’d take it to the Apple Store. No particular reason. Last year I had to take my MacBook for repairs and they screwed up the speakers. When I went back they decided to replace the entire outer shell of my laptop as a freebie.

Anecdote:

I had some issues with my MacBook a while ago and the closest apple store was 3 hours away so I went to an authorized dealer instead. I don't remember what the problem was, but essentially my keyboard/track pad wasn't working. They held onto my laptop for a week, charged me $250 to fix something but ultimately didn't resolve anything and said it wasn't their fault that it didn't work. I took it to the apple store and they fixed it then and there for free.

Lesson learnt:

Never tell your colleagues where you are joining beforehand.
Not all are good advisors, some will ruin your mind with their opinions.

I’m a closeted no book reader. I’ve maybe read 5 books over the last 10 years… My teams over the years are always talking about all the books they read and providing recommendations, but luckily people tend to be more interested in sharing what they read rather than listening so I’ve made it this far. I’m worried I’ll be discovered one day

Am I going crazy? I feel like my close friend is always trying to “one up” me in conversation. Any time I make a point, they will go out of their way to prove I’m wrong with some sort of stat or evidence. It’s like they need to have the last say.

They try to make me look bad at times without noticing. I don’t know how to approach this as we are all in a pretty tight friend group.

Me and my partner are not sure whether we want to have kids . Sometimes we want to and the next day we are completely against the idea . The reason we want to have kids is that we want to grow our inner circle , have more people in this world who we can call our family. And we don’t want to have kids is that it will put extra pressure on us , less freedom for next 10-15 years. Wanted to understand why people have kids or don’t have kids . Please share your thoughts :)

I’m so grumpy about new campus hires. Sometimes I’m judgmental (your hobby is “working on your golf swing,” really?). Sometimes I’m just exhausted by the worried earnestness. Sometimes I’m amazed that they seem to have zero useful skills, yet they’ll be making 150k easily in the not too distant future.

I had the weirdest dream. Criminals were put in a gated community under observation and they had to successfully fake their own death to get out. They were given too many drugs and alcohol. But they end up killing each other or suiciding and no one is left. Once everyone kills themselves they bring in new inmates. It was insane.

My brain needs a rehab now. 🥺

Edit: how do I sell this idea to Netflix? Even though it’s bizarre.
