Ok so hi!
I had plans to write a bunch this weekend but last week was so so stressful and I was taking it easy this weekend but then my car keys got stolen (not from me, I loaned my car to a friend, friend had bag stolen, keys were in bag at the time) so I've been dealing with that and I am just... done in.
Like, I can has a break now please oh no wait it's Monday NOPE!
So... uh, yeah, that.
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
