    Ok so if I owned this machine legally but didn’t have such proof, I’m sure you’d find a way to call me a fucking idiot for that too right? It would serve me right and apple would be blameless

      Yes, you would be an idiot for buying a machine worth thousands of euros and not keeping the invoice. That’s completely unrelated to activation lock.

      It you’re a business then it’s double stupid not to keep invoices.

        Surprise! Apple simp strikes again!

        Buying something legally isn’t enough. Apple owns the fucking thing because: security and simps say so

        Nevermind that there are plenty of ways you could get into this scenario and even if it only happened once ever, Apple’s practice is bullshit, because: security and simps

        I truly hope all this gargling some day leads you to accepting something even worse from these pieces of shit and and then it fucks you
