Correction: at 7:56, it's stated that the 100W charger will charge any MacBook at the highest possible speed. This is true in almost all cases, unless you have a 16" MacBook Pro with a USB-C to MagSafe cable; this setup is capable of 140W charging. A standard USB-C to USB-C cable with this laptop will top out at 100W though, and any other MacBook model tops out below this regardless of the cable used. Would you put any of these 3rd party accessories in your idiot sandwi- I mean, tech bag? Let us know below!

@@DT8888 Bet you're really fun at parties....

[@Cirerin]

@@DT8888 Wrong, they are still using pinned corrections, they posted the levels of errors and how they correct them moving forward. Pinned comments is still one of them

[@OsaSoft]

Yeah... Kicking off after what happened with a video with a pinned correction isnt exactly great optics..... But all in all, great video, really enjoyed it!

[@rxpt0rs]

I don't see any problems here. The correction appears to be for a very minor error and I don't think this is going to significantly impact anyone's purchase decision. They've also made it clear that pinned comments are not going away but they will be more careful and use other, more obvious options for more severe errors. There are better things to worry about than an extremely minor inaccuracy. If you're concerned about this, I want to see the same level of concern in other channels.

[@arturia5976]

@@rxpt0rs More accurately I hope that @DT8888 have such perfect accuracy in whatever he/she does as from what I know even some of the best Subject Matter Experts I have worked with in my industry make mistakes every so often.

God this channel is so good. When I talked to Jonathan at LTX he said something along the lines of, “I just keep doing things and waiting for someone to tell me no,” and that absolutely shows here. I love that because Mac Address is somewhat separate from most other LMG channels it’s able to have totally unique video styles and formats. Keep up the good work, guys.

[@wobblysauce]

Good to be different

[@undefinedbackslasher]

That's what keeps me coming back.

[@ali_seyedin]

Out of all LTT channels, i was waiting for this channel the most. Good to have you back guys 🎉

I would add that this is one of the most entertaining videos I have watched in tech this week.

[@Logan.]

Right, made the video so much more watchable

[@fluffmiceter1846]

"Yes Host" xD I love how accurate this is to Hell's Kitchen. MacAddress is my favorite Apple channel because of how unique the videos are, instead of just covering new iPhones and Macs all the time

[@arthuralford]

Well, "Yes, Chef" is the common way to address the head chef in a kitchen anyway. But changing it up to "Yes, Host" was funny

[@bandito241]

This is one of the reason this is the only Mac related channel I continually watch. They are not showcasing the new iPhone featured that was leaked today.

[@lwizzit]

Steve seems like a keeper. Good writing and very comfortable on camera.

this channel has been the gold standard for LTT videos for a while, a lot of care for that clean presentation & narrative flow that makes you interested in the subject, so i'm glad to see it return. also i love the goofyness of the Cooking Show spoofing

[@hazyproduct1692]

yes but bad information especially on find my

The rest of LTT could learn much from MacAddress

[@hazyproduct1692]

Yes, they could learn about how to forget important information and fudge benchmark results. @@choahjinhuay

[@Ucfahmad]

MACaddress was always a good model for what all LTT channels should be. They don’t upload daily, but when they do they are a hit on all marks.

[@ReluctantSpirit]

& also less obnoxious than LTT

[@Naviss]

This gameshow format is great, but there needs to be more than one contender! Add Dennis for just the giggles and would be perfect. :P

[@Scoop9599]

Yeah, as executed it was slightly off putting, though not enough to stop watching. But I prefer Jonathan’s normal format.

[@LangleyNA]

I agree. I feel this is a one-off. Bi-annually, maybe.@@Scoop9599

[@ijiikieru]

But it's not really about the format, it's about the products.

[@MrDevoro]

Even though the last time I've been an Apple user were the days of iPod touch gen 4, I really enjoy this channel. I love how different it is from the rest of the LMG channels, yet keeps the feeling of familiarity. Jonathan and Steven truly "think different" in the old school Apple meaning of those words! These guys really keep me interested about the products I'm not gonna use!

[@zxcool4410]

The "It was presented to me backwards" had me dying haha. Thats exactly how these judges act. Any minor inconvenience is a major flaw.

[@Conz_duh]

Steven has brought the fun/ creativity this channel needed and now these are the videos I look forward to most from LMG. Love it.

[@ervin9805]

more like brought the cringe. hard to look at too

Absolutely loved this one. The parody format was so good 😂 great job

[@SANSd20]

On top of that, they took this bit seriously. That added to the quality of the bit.

[@nickd7935]

Fantastic commitment to a great bit. While I generally enjoy MA's videos more than the rest of LMG, this one really stood out. The entire team that worked on this video should be proud of their work.

[@reapermonk3y]

If LTT had an awards show I’d nominate this for video of the year - so good hahaha

[@kayel7541]

This is my favorite LTT channel! I love the style of your content.

This is amazing!! The wallet presented to me backwards and Steve’s reaction to it had me literally laughing out loud. Love the Mac Addict videos.

So true lol

Steven is not working at LMG anymore?

[@proximitea]

the editing on this video is randomly top notch and feels like a real professional tv station, unexpected!

A+ commitment to the schtick, I was worried you would lean away from the bit after the opener but you really stuck with it. Absolutely the channel I was missing for last little bit. Glad to have it back.

My problem with the odd brands on Amazon is that many of them aren’t UL listed or even CE and have issues with randomly catching on fire. As someone who had an electrical fire catch their house on fire, I’m really picky about what accessories I choose to bring into my home and share space with my only wife and only children. For that reason I pay a premium for things that have been properly tested and have a good track record as a brand.

[@bandito241]

“My only wife and only children” Interesting choice of words.

[@aaronrdaniels]

DAMN the subtle ways they were diging at these products, prove a point about their drawbacks. while also sticking to the bit, well done.

[@MarcelEvers1]

I love the deep voiceovers from Bell!

[@The_Linux_User]

I prefer the Seinxon wallet finder over the Chipolo one. Yes, you have to order straight from China and it takes a while but the big advantage is that it is rechargable unlike the chipolo which is just e-waste after 2-3 years. It works really well for me and the battery last quite a long time. I don't have it for that long though (just a few months) so I can't say anything about lont term durability Edit: It's also a few bucks cheaper Edit2: It does also not have precision finding

[@code--ub1sg]

the last one can you find one that is for the uk pls

[@Ashkevron]

Great video! The amount of work that has gone into this is amazing. Keep it up guys. I love the totally individual style your videos have, not just another cut and paste offering.

[@evancasper]

[@KingindaNorth]

There is literally an Anker variant of this at similar price point. The magsafe powerbank. Granted its only 5000mah its still solid

[@Coldbrewlover]

How about the Anker MagSafe PowerBank with a kickstand?

[@mattsnyder4754]

Anker’s little charger/power bank combo is by far my favorite “off brand” accessory. It will charge everything I own, act as a battery bank, and is actually from a real brand. It’s so good for travel.

[@UnknowinglyDerpy]

Yeah but LMG as a whole not just MA pretty much have sworn off the Anker brand for the foreseeable future so you won’t be seeing any of their products being suggested here

[@mateus_bandeira]

This video is delightful to watch. Whoever came up with the concept deserves a raise. Everyone involved in this video should be proud!

[@yupimrandy]

This needs more views, it was great!

[@francois3358]

Is not showing Anker products (like the MagGo) is part of the policy following the Eufy debacle? Because I thought that applied only to Anker being a sponsor ?
