    A very "fuck you" to the goddamn 2019 MacBook Pro whose batteries can only be swapped after removing the. entire. motherboard. because the two flat-ribbons carrying the battery power positive and negative had to be run underneath the board. But not without an ungodly amount of sticky tape that holds the bare cells in, of course, no no no! What's a battery swap without a bit of russian roulette whether or not you pierce or squish the battery too much :neocat_facepalm:

    And! And!

    The part of the aluminum body the battery sits in is both terribly inaccessible for a spudger or plastic pick, whilst also having little slots through to the other side of the lower chassis which will dump any glue removers/solvants straight onto the fragile display if you're not careful. Good design!
