But the feel and the travel were never the main problems for me that dubious honor belongs to the keyboard’s infuriating unreliability.Īpple first unleashed its “butterfly” keyboard on the world in 2015’s 12-inch MacBook, and the fact that it’s already on its third revision in a little over four years is not exactly encouraging.
I appreciated the larger keys and quieter tapping compared to the clattering cacophony of my mechanical board. I used a 2018 MacBook Pro for work for a time and soon got used to the shallower key presses. That’s not the main problem for me, though. Apple has always made fantastic keyboards, but these days going from a mech to a Mac is like being under house arrest - there’s just no travel. I’m a denizen of both the Microsoft and Apple worlds, and use a nice chunky mechanical keyboard with my Windows PC. That keyboard is certainly a sticking point, as it were. Well, that seems like a good place to start. Why opt for a four-year-old MacBook Pro instead of the latest and greatest model from just a few months ago? After all, this year’s model comes with a keyboard that’s even less likely to fail and ignore your key presses. In fact, I didn’t so much ignore it as turn around and high-tail it in the opposite direction.
So when the time rolled around for me to kit myself out with a shiny new MacBook, you would think I headed straight for the 2019 MacBook Pro and paid like it was going out of fashion. There’s enough innovation in both software and hardware to impress even the most curmudgeonly of cynics. Fitbit Versa 3Īpple does innovate, of course, and the latest MacBook Pro models - with monstrous eight-core i9 processors and Touch Bars aplenty - are no exception. PS replug_facetime source code can be downloaded from here. A permanent workaround is to put it in the startup sequence, it does not harm trying to (re)plug the device if it is already connected. The fix has to be applied again after each reboot (when the camera does not start working). While Parallels KB insists on saying it is an interaction between their product and Sierra, I believe genuinely this is a MacOS bug.Īnd running it with the command: sudo ~/Downloads/replug_facetime While I have VMWare Fusion, and not Parallels the fix worked for me in the real machine. You should apply this fix each time you want to use the Facetime camera This is a widespread issue on macOS Sierraīy running this fix you are resetting the Facetime camera. This workaround works without having Parallels installed. I ended up finding a fix for a similar problem for people that have Parallels installed. There are some known issues at least with the late 13'' model, and this quirk might (or not) be due to that.
