“If it is true that there are serious security implications in us being able to get access to the sleep sensor calibration tool, that means that one dude in his bedroom in Germany who's tinkering around managed to defeat the security features of a $2 trillion company's products. That's bad. Or, behind door number, two this really doesn't have much to do with security at all and it's just one of those things where they just don't care if the decisions that they make result in them being less repairable for people like us when we want to fix a very very very common issue on these newer MacBooks that a lot of customers are coming in with. Either way it really looks bad.”

To be fair, sensor calibration is a real thing. Miscalibrated sensors lead to unexpected behavior.
The line about security is pure BS tho.
