Seems like should be an easy thing to prove, if the report is at all accurate. Otherwise, just making stuff up again.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

New reports from Motherboard and MacRumors suggest that Apple’s 2018 MacBook Pro, as well as the iMac Pro, can be bricked if the repairs are not performed by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. But I thought they never needed repairing?

Can you do that with a MacBook? I thought they were solid pieces of shiny glory, given from on high. The only upgrades possible are stickers for the local hipster band/bar.

Imagine that you’re living in some dystopian future, and you have been accused of being an advanced AI, which is outlawed in this society. The penalty is death, and in order to convince the judge who will decide your fate, you can utter just one word, any word you like from the dictionary, to prove that you’re flesh and blood. What word do you choose? Because the AI will never figure out my juvenile sense of humour
Well, other than me being an AI, of course (Chris did write me after all, so it's his fault)

Video streaming service Netflix is the world's most data-hungry application, consuming 15% of global net traffic, according to research from bandwidth management company Sandvine. Sorry, that was me - I was trying to catch up on Daredevil before the new season

And the other 84% is for adult entertainment.
And the 1% is for the serious work, because we know how to optimize our network stuff.

It’s possible they could be vastly more efficient, but for that to happen, we need to better understand the thermodynamics of computing I'm not sure - I think it has something to do with that cable into the wall
Or maybe the box attached to the monitor? These things are so complicated.

I can think of an alternative to 'fooled,' that is also six letters long, that may apply here.

In May, we announced .NET Core 3.0, the next major version of .NET Core that adds support for building desktop applications using WinForms, WPF, and Entity Framework 6. We also announced some exciting updates to .NET Framework which enable you to use the new modern controls from UWP in existing WinForms and WPF applications. Are they still supporting it?
