MacBooks from 2020 Are Being Sold for Scrap Because of Activation Lock
Sounds awesome to me.  Working as intended.  When I used to travel, I'd have to take a backup phone and laptop with me that I'd leave in a travel safe, the hotel safe, or a hotel lockbox at the front desk so I could be assured I wouldn't be out of commission for work / digital life if someone stole my laptop and phone while I was mobile.  Now, I basically don't have to worry beyond taking standard opsec precautions, because Apple devices are ignored by thieves.<p>Any legitimate reseller would not have an issue because the original owner which sold the laptop to them would have wiped the device and removed the activation lock.  The fact stolen goods end up as scrap and have no useful value beyond scrap value is not only okay with me, I think it's a net positive for society and one of the best things Apple has done for their customers and the world.
