I agree on one point: Apple should be refunding a fractional laptop value to anyone who bought a device with the butterfly keyboard. This is a pretty underwhelming agreement.
I disagree on your other point: I think Apple absolutely did the right thing removing the charger. Everyone's got a charger at this point, and making it a nominal option during the purchase of the device would be good enough.
And in fact, I think the law should be that anything that can be charged by a Lightning/USB-* charger should be. I recently acquired a rechargeable flossing device, and an electric razor and I see no reason why these should have their own proprietary chargers.
I agree on the point that we should have our own charger/adapter. But I would love to do that when every company follows the same standard.
European Government and few of the Asian government's are enforcing companies to follow a single standard. Hope this will help us move toward a universal standard
Let's leave USB for the computers and microelectronics. I can still charge electric trimmers and toothbrush when there's oil/water/toothpaste on or even in the port. It also still trivially easy to break a usb port. On devices with the rubber power connector you can practically bend the plug out sideways without damage. They're also much easier to connect as they're not designed to support 10+Gbit/s of signal integrity.
I believe a sufficiently motivated market would come up with a good solution. I just don't believe every small device in my house needs its own proprietary charging tech.
I have an M1 now and it is glorious but back when I had the MBA with the butterfly keys, someone pointed me to https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky and it helped eliminate 99% of the double-typing or ghost keys. You will have to tweak the ms until you find the right number that fits your typing speed but once you get it all setup, the butterfly keyboard will become much more tolerable.
Apple under Tim Cook has gone into a state where it doesnt care about the customer.
The whole no adapter thing moved the entire industry into suck a Scam-Customer state that even Trimmer companies are not offering adapters.
Apple is spoiling entire electronics industry.
I will keep typing 'i' in my keyboard, and it will instead type 'ii'
Apple - You need to send a full refund for manufacturing such as pathetic laptop.
