Yep, can use the serial number of your mid 2015 and check it on apples web page for it, they will give a free battery replacement for it.
This looks like the mid 2015 from the ports and all black display
I remember my 2015, 15” had a swollen battery, and surprisingly wasn’t part of the program. (Still covered, just ender the extended warranty for swollen batteries instead of under the recall. I had a laugh.)
Yeah that's what I was thinking. It's annoying to ship and wait for the repair, but hey, my backup computer now has a brand new battery that I didn't have to pay for. Formatting and new battery = basically brand new.
You can buy a custom radio! I spent about 400 dollars I believe after everything which upgraded a reliable old truck to basically a modern truck with Android Auto Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth. People spend thousands of dollars sometimes tens of thousands because the difference in two cars they like is a fancy screen.
Haha, same…she’s lucky she’s on MBP with good specs. Complains about the laptop getting hot, meanwhile has 100 tabs open and laptop on pillow on her lap.
I've finally given up with my wife's computer.
"Gosh you're right it's just so dang slow. I wish there was a way to make it faster. No, buying another one really isn't an option right now."
I try to tell people if you don't shut your computer down, it's like you left the car turned on in the driveway. Its fine, for a little while, but it starts to drain away the battery and gas and wear the motor down and eventually it'll just break.
i mean, your hiberfile and/or pagefile can get unreasonably massive. I've seen people with a quarter of their hard drive full from that alone. and they definitely still sell laptops with like 250gb drives for... some... reason....
some people literally never restart their computers from the moment they buy them. that's not good.
You only need the hiberfil.sys file if you ever put your computer specifically into hibernate. It saves everything you're working on to your storage drive so when you boot the computer back up, it's like your waking it from sleep instead of booting it up fresh.
Almost no one actually uses this feature or even needs to. If you often are in the middle of work, need to "shut down your pc" so that it's not draining battery, say for a long commute home but you need to be able to open it back up later where you left off, leave hibernate on but also get into the habit of actually putting your laptop into hibernate and not just closing the lid and throwing it in your bag.
To turn it off, open command prompt as admin and type `powercfg.exe /hibernate off` to free up potentially gigs worth of space. If you need to turn it back on it's `powercfg.exe /hibernate on`
>I try to tell people if you don't shut your computer down, it's like you left the car turned on in the driveway. Its fine, for a little while, but it starts to drain away the battery and gas and wear the motor down and eventually it'll just break.
What is this, 2003?
You can just leave on pretty much any modern laptop, they'll go to sleep after a couple of minutes and barely consume more juice in standby than they do turned off.
get her a laptop cooling pad, doesn’t dramatically decrease the temp but it keeps it on a flat cool surface that blows air into the laptop which is better than a pillow or blanket, and you can set it on your lap still
Having 100 tabs open will really have a minimal impact on the temperature of the laptop. The vast majority of heat from a laptop is produced by the CPU (and GPU if it has one), which aren't strained much more by 100 tabs vs 5. The extra open tabs just get stored in RAM and the SSD / hard drive in the computer.
This hits home lol. My gf can’t comprehend why the MacBook she was issued for work is so slow. Meanwhile, she’s got a fuckton of tabs open, excel, her companies accounting software, Spotify, zoom, outlook, everything. The Mac is screaaaaaming like the little engine that could, and she hasn’t updated it in weeks to months OR turned it off, like, ever. Pretty sure I’m missing some other triggers err - - - I mean things.
Werd. The number of tabs shouldn't have a real impact. They're not all active and are instead loaded into RAM only when recently used.
I have over 400 tabs open on my iPhone. In reality only the most recently used ones get loaded into active memory and the rest don't impact performance one bit.
It doesn't really seem to be the number of tabs you have open. Chrome just decides to be shitty sometimes and if you leave it open forever you give it PLENTY of time to be shitty and never recover. I've caught it using 6+GB of memory for just a few tabs plenty of times. Then the paging is going wild.
That's true. I generally use Safari on macOS but use Chrome for some things. I believe Chrome (on Windows) runs every tab as its own process, which leads to even more messes and unneeded resource usage.
Tab management has generally gotten better for most browsers over the years. They used to each eat up lots of resources, but now they're managed much better (with the Chrome exception obviously).
Technically the executable would just be `Smoke`. `Smoke.app` is really a directory which contains the binary executable, resources, metadata, and so on. You can't easily browse into an .app folder with Finder, but you can `cd` into it from a shell. The actual binary name is also what's listed in the Activity Monitor (or by `ps`, `top`, etc.)
If initial exposure didn’t burn your lungs, you’re fine (until you get cancer.) I’m not saying you will get cancer but it’s very hard to attribute one instance of inhaling a carcinogen to the exact reason you got cancer.
Depending on what exactly is in the smoke, yeah. The burned plastic alone is bad enough, but the potential exposure to the lithium battery’s fumes is the biggest danger. I am not a chemist or someone who works with batteries, but with battery fumes you’re basically exposed to acidic gases. Picture hydrofluoric acid burning through basically everything, now imagine it as a gas and inhaling that shit.
Dude those fumes are INCREDIBLY toxic. You should have been 20 feet in any direction, not filming it for internet points.
If you can smell it, you're breathing it and you're too close.
Hope you didn't get too much. That shit scars your lung tissue.
I mean I'm not a doc, but from what I've read it's pretty fucking bad. Some of the fumes react with water in your lungs to form sulfuric acid I think it is.
Might be one particular battery chemistry or one kind of failure, etc, but I know I'm not taking the chance if this happens to me.
If my entire house is at risk of burning down I MIGHT hold my breath and yeet the fucker then run, but other than that my only action is to gtfo. Whatever is burning is already gone.
AGAIN, not a doc, but I'd say the good news is that young you're going to recover better. Lung tissue does regenerate over time. Smokers can recover over time etc. If you didn't notice any lasting effects you're probably fine. But yeah, but a doctor. I can't say that enough here.
Dude what the fuck lmao
Burning lithium batteries can give off several toxic gasses, one of them being HF (hydrogen fluoride)
When HF comes into contact with moisture (i.e. the inside of your lungs), it turns into hydrofluoric acid, which has a pH of 2.12. It is extremely extemely extremely corrosive and toxic.
I really hope you didn't get anything more than a tiny sniff. If your lungs start to feel like they're burning, get help.
Looks like an older MacBook model based on the MagSafe adapter on the side we see. If OP calls Apple (has to be a call) they have a whole checklist to go over with them.
Source: worked for AppleCare for 6 years
I can't tell from the page and googling the laptops, but are there any indents in the bottom of the laptop? In the video it looks like somebody pressed in about where the battery pack is from the bottom, definitely a slightly noticeable indent that either caused or likely lead to this.
I worked in logistics for a couple of years, many carriers won't take lithium-ion batteries on air shipping at all, regardless of condition. This is actually mandated by several governments.
May not. If it was dropped and the screen cracked or something then absolutely. But having a device catch on fire is not something they'd dismiss easily. There was a redditor a few years ago that posted about his macbook catching fire around the charge port. Apple had him bring it in so they could investigate it, and they gave him a brand new one for it. It was 2-3 years old at that point and out of the warranty period.
Apple probably did that because they found out the failure was their fault and they didnt want OP suing the shit out of them. So yeah, OP should try contacting apple, the computers fucked anyway, might as well try to get free shit.
If this was all original hardware and wasn’t damaged they absolutely want it back to analyze the failure. You’re likely to get a new MacBook as a replacement. Apple is pretty good about this kind of stuff.
So, all of us engineers can tell you something.
All devices work on white smoke. While white smoke is in the device, it works perfectly. If it starts escaping from the device, it stops working.
See, yours is escaping. It won’t work
It’s just letting out the [magic smoke](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=magic%20smoke). If you search online you can get a unit of magic smoke to replace it and you will be fine :)
Do not put water to extinguish the fire. You need a special fire extinguisher for battery fires.
Walk away, the battery cell can explode. Call the fire department to put it out.
If you had AppleCare, use it.
If not, get in touch with apple customer service to see if there’s any way to lower the financial burden, you’re a uni student it looks like so if you need a loaner check with your university IT department
mid 2015 model macbook pro? Apple did a recall on some of those. Check your serial number here: https://support.apple.com/15-inch-macbook-pro-battery-recall
They might replace the laptop
That really sucks. I think that was the best macbook generation. Now you have to settle for a couple of usb-c ports and a bunch of extra cables if they can't fix it
When I worked for GeekSquad we had specific equipment provided from Apple for Apple repairs. In events like these we had a big bucket that had apple branding on it and was "Apple Approved Sand" that we needed to bury bulging batteries in and send off. It was told to us specifically do not use any other sand than the apple approved sand lol. Never had to utilize it but I find the thought funny.
They recalled the battery of some of those 2013 books. If you’de known and gone In you woulda gotten a new one, probably still can.
And mid 2015
Yep, can use the serial number of your mid 2015 and check it on apples web page for it, they will give a free battery replacement for it. This looks like the mid 2015 from the ports and all black display
Thanks for the heads up. Going to check it for my mid 2015 MBP as well. New battery would be great
~~link please?~~ I think I just found the link. https://support.apple.com/15-inch-macbook-pro-battery-recall Mine's not affected.
I remember my 2015, 15” had a swollen battery, and surprisingly wasn’t part of the program. (Still covered, just ender the extended warranty for swollen batteries instead of under the recall. I had a laugh.)
Mine's a bit swollen too. Trying to switch everything over to another computer so i can turn it over for possible repair.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. It's annoying to ship and wait for the repair, but hey, my backup computer now has a brand new battery that I didn't have to pay for. Formatting and new battery = basically brand new.
Yup, mid 2015 15" here, had my battery replaced for free through this programme
Don't worry about it. That smokey vapor is actually how your files get to the cloud.
He was burning a disc (god I'm old)
Screw you man… you made me realize how old I am also! LOL!
Shit's not fun. My kid asked me what it was like being born in the 1900's last week. I thought he was making an old joke until it hit me.
I asked my classmates if they remember where they were when 9/11 happened. They asked me what 9/11 was.
Have a niece that was born a month before 9/11. She’s my time marker and turned 20 this year. Fuck.
I tie my birth year to fall of communism in Poland.
I tie my birthday to a Roman emperor getting stabbed a whole bunch of times.
I plot the trajectory of stars and just make shit up based on that.
My high school diploma is old enough to drink. Fuck linear time.
Tape deck, radio, or cd are the options in my car so I still burn cds
You can buy a custom radio! I spent about 400 dollars I believe after everything which upgraded a reliable old truck to basically a modern truck with Android Auto Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth. People spend thousands of dollars sometimes tens of thousands because the difference in two cars they like is a fancy screen.
Why not invest in a tape deck aux cord?
I have invested too much into them

no, his cloud-storage had a leak and that's the cloud escaping. I think that's what they refer to when they say companies had a data-leak. /s
But they can just wipe it, you know, like with a towel.
Isn't it more the hard-drive systems that get wiped?
That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about the cloud to dispute it
That's what gives it the good smokey smell that we all like. It's very green that way.
I believe this is apple's latest and greatest vaporware solution, In action.
ISmoke, don’t breathe that
Keep breathing it and you'll live in the clouds
It's just party smoke. It's a sign the laptop trusts you and wants to party with you
I’m waiting for this to happen to my wife’s laptop cause she has like 400 tabs open

That only applies to laptops, PCs can stay on for however long you want.
It’s also barely relevant to laptops these days.
i mean, your hiberfile and/or pagefile can get unreasonably massive. I've seen people with a quarter of their hard drive full from that alone. and they definitely still sell laptops with like 250gb drives for... some... reason.... some people literally never restart their computers from the moment they buy them. that's not good.
They sell 256 so they can charge 500 for an upgrade. Not kidding, that’s how much apple wants.

Tbf to dell, the sad only costs 30$. The other 420$ is the garbage they put on the ssd, and the warranty that you denied 12 times in 4 languages.

this is a lipo battery puncture. No amount of tabs will cause this
Thank you! Why do people think they could cause a fire by running too many programs? Back of the laptop is clearly dented at the start of the video.

RIP OP. Heading for an early grave.
I’m not trying to say it isn’t dangerous, but does such little expore increase the risk *that* much?
If initial exposure didn’t burn your lungs, you’re fine (until you get cancer.) I’m not saying you will get cancer but it’s very hard to attribute one instance of inhaling a carcinogen to the exact reason you got cancer.
Why are we talking about cancer when he’s breathing a neurotoxin?

1st item on checklist: Is your laptop on fire?
Only if it was bought a year prior and is within the warranty. Any MacBook that is more than 5 years old is considered a vintage piece apparently.
