#133392 — Apple Warns Against Closing MacBooks With a Cover Over the Camera

Dateline today... (verbatim given apologists deny facts about Apple 
because, apparently, they _hate_ what Apple actually is because they only 
believe in the glossy imaginary world that Apple feeds them to believe).

  "The latest MBP 16 inch with the thin tiny bezels and display comes at a
   cost of breakage with the tiniest of forces..."

o *Apple Warns Against Closing MacBooks With a Cover Over the Camera*
<https://www.macrumors.com/2020/07/10/apple-macbook-camera-cover-warning/>

  "Apple this month published a support document that warns customers 
   against closing their Mac notebooks with a cover over the camera as
   it can lead to display damage."

  "If you close your Mac notebook with a camera cover installed,
   you might damage your display because the clearance between the 
   display and keyboard is designed to very tight tolerances. 

   Covering the built-in camera might also interfere with the ambient 
   light sensor and prevent features like automatic brightness and 
   True Tone from working. 

   As an alternative to a camera cover, use the camera indicator light
   to determine if your camera is active,
   and decide which apps can use your camera in System Preferences."

More in the article.
-- 
o Type I apologists, like nospam, always parrot Apple MARKETING messages
o Type II apologists, like Andreas Rutishauser, simply ignore basic facts
o Type III apologists, like BK, actually _believe_ what Apple feeds them

I agree. I've had to filter lots of users who I wouldn't normally want to
filter because they keep responding and junking up the newsgroups.

It's interestingly how _petrified_ you Apple apologists are, of mere facts.

All you Apple apologists are pretty much exactly like flat earthers.
o *Your belief system is instantly DESTROYED by mere facts about Apple.*

The reason you filter out facts is Apple owns your brains via emotion.
o Your brains only work on emotion - which is why you always hate facts.

You literally _hate_ what Apple is, so much, that you filter out facts
about Apple products, just so that you can maintain your imaginary beliefs
intact.

Sorry; the grow up is meant for "Joe Dee".

I usually just kill the entire thread that the pest has started unless 
it's early on and cross posted.

What's consistent is how apologists brazenly deny even what Apple admitted!
o *What is wrong with the Apple Apologists that they deny even what Apple admitted?* 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/fyL1cQUVCp0>

Here's the news from today, direct from Apple (as always, verbatim so that 
Apologists will simply have to brazenly deny exactly what Apple said)
o *Don't close your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro with a cover over the camera*
<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211148>

Notice the apologists in this thread repeatedly brazenly denied every fact 
about Apple they simply don't like! (Which is pretty much everything since 
their entire belief system, being purely imaginary, is threatened by facts)
o *Apple Warns Against Closing MacBooks With a Cover Over the Camera*
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.sys.mac.system/K9dMw2t7Cl8>

That thread contained verbatim quotes from Apple, which, the apologists, 
apparently hate (since they hate that facts show what Apple is), so they 
repeatedly (and viciously) denied that Apple said what Apple said.

What is so very wrong with these strange apologists anyway?
o Why are they so pathetically afraid of something as simple as a fact?

I don't know why.
o However, I suspect it's pretty simple why.

Consider a child of a high-priced prostitute who dearly loves his mom.
o Of course, that child will call all facts about his mom, a "lie by liars"

What else can that child do to maintain his purely imaginary belief system?

In summary, I don't know why apologists call all facts a lie by liars...
o Even facts that clearly are facts that Apple themselves published openly.

I suspect it's as simple as apologists _hate_ what Apple is.
o Facts about Apple instantly DESTROY their imaginary belief systems.

Facts instantly DESTROY apologists imaginary Apple belief systems.
o *The real reason Apple is warning users about MacBook camera covers*
<https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-real-reason-apple-is-warning-users-about-macbook-camera-covers/>

  "But consequently, the number of screen breakages are up.
   And it's a pretty distinctive screen break -- leaving a glowing white
   line down the middle of the display -- so we know why it's happened
   even if people are evasive about how the damage happened."

What's interesting is how petrifyingly AFRAID apologists are of facts.
o John McWilliams says he's so afraid, he plonks the entire thread.

  The bezel is "almost non-existent, and anything that gets in-between 
  the screen and the body can break the display in a heartbeat. 
  They do, they just go 'pop' and the damage is done.

  Only the other day, I saw a display that had been cracked when someone
  has closed a coin on it. Left a nice print of the coin on the display."

Why does John McWilliams _hate_ this facts so much that he's afraid of it?
o I suspect facts scare the shit out of John because facts are true.

*Since facts are true, facts don't fit into John McWilliams' belief system.*

It's like a child covering his ears when told the fact that Santa Claus
simply doesn't exist - Santa is merely something MARKETING fed him.

Every post from apologists like John McWilliams proves this point for us.
o It's like his mom is a prostitute so he _hates_ facts about his mom.

The metaphor is he hates what facts show about what his prostitute mom
really is - and therefore - he hates the mere bearer of those facts.

Like all apologists, _hates_ what Apple is.
o Facts instantly DESTROY his completely imaginary Apple belief system.

*Since facts are true, facts don't fit into John McWilliams' belief system.*

What's interesting is how deathly _afraid_ you are of mere facts.
o Your entire belief system is instantly DESTROYED by mere facts.

Years ago, I wondered why Apple aficionados were so strange.
o What's so scary, to you apologists, about simple mere facts?

Over the years, I've realized any fact about Apple that doesn't fit into
your purely imaginary belief system - you simply wish to filter out.

It's why say you Apple apologists all appear to own the mind of a child.

Hi nospam,

I know you apologists well, perhaps better than you know yourselves.
o Notice you don't refute the facts - you attack the mere messenger.

You all always prove one thing: *You _hate_ facts about Apple products!*
o Even facts that Apple thyemselves, published openly and honestly.

You hate _all_ facts about Apple products...
o Because, your entire belief system is not based on even a single fact.

Your entire belief system.... is imaginary.
o Facts never fit into your belief system.

All the apologists clearly stated they wish to remain ignorant of the
facts, which is because facts don't fit into any of your belief systems.

*And yet, not a single one of you has addressed the facts Apple published!*
o All you can do is claim facts about Apple will never end.

And they won't.

I think, by attacking the messenger of facts Wolffan hates, he can then, in

Wolffan acted like a fifth grade bully told that Santa Claus doesn't exist.

Of course, because it's Arlen, he leaves out important details:

'If your work environment requires a camera cover at all times

If your work environment requires you to cover the camera on your Mac 
notebook, follow these guidelines to avoid damaging the display:

Make sure the camera cover is not thicker than an average piece of 
printer paper (0.1mm).

Avoid using a camera cover that leaves adhesive residue.
If you install a camera cover that is thicker than 0.1mm, remove the 
camera cover before closing your computer.'


<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211148>

Which was mentioned in the article:

'MacBook owners can also control which apps have access to the built-in 
camera as users must grant permission for camera use on any operating 
system after macOS Mojave. For those who do need to cover the camera, 
Apple recommends a camera cover that's not thicker than the average 
piece of printer paper (0.1mm) and that does not leave adhesive residue.'

Hi Ant,

You're the only one who responded who isn't a known apologist...
o And your response was the only one that covered the topic.

It's shocking, how childishly afraid of facts teh apologists are
o Where all they did was deny the facts & filter out all facts.

It's as if they _hate_ what Apple _is_ every time a fact is stated.
o Or, they claim the facts weren't facts even as they were verbatim.

And, they're so used to being _immune_ to facts about Apple products
o That they will claim I didnt' quote the entire freaking article.

Simply because they're too much like children to even click on the link.
o And when they do, they very often fail to comprehend what it says.

In _this_ situation, Ant, Apple says that if you use a cover, then you can
easily break the screen, as the tolerances are rather tight (and it has
happened, apparently, enough to have caused Apple to issue the warning).

So simply consider this a PSA, so that you know how to not have it happen.

Finally someone brings needed truth to typically ignorant Apple newsgroups.
