Oh really!?!?
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but you're certainly prone to hyperbole.

My be its my English isn’t so clear.. and some words express more then it should. Its a possibility.

Braziliam law secures to any consumer of product with a hidden defect the right to replace to a similar model or refound the consumer in 30 days. Its very protective law as well.

If you bought your Mac in Australia, Brazilian law doesn’t apply. And the Australian consumer rights advice you posted above says:

• repairs and spare parts - the manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that spare parts and repair facilities (a place that can fix the consumer’s goods) are available for a reasonable time after purchase unless you were told otherwise. How long is ‘reasonable’ will depend on the type of product.

How long do you feel is “reasonable” for a manufacturer to supply spare parts for a computer?

Well - by the sounds of it - you have gone beyond your time to refund by about 10 years.

I'd suggest you sell it while it is still functioning, but of course make sure to disclose to the buyer that it will soon fail due to Apple's faults, and use what money you get to buy a PC / Android etc.

My mid 2012 MBP is running at least 4 hours every day for the past 9 years. Very often I wake it up in the morning and it stays active until I go back to bed. Instead of turning it off I just closed the lid and had it in standby overnight for more than 1600 days.. You see I really don’t take care of it. It dropped a few times on the floor as well. And after all, it still runs smooth.

I don’t know if apple engineers it’s stuff with planned obsolescence, but I own a lot of apple stuff and none of them ever let me down. I know planned obsolescence is no conspiracy theory and a lot of stuff like our dishwasher and oven stopped working because of this.

I have just added SSD and RAM as well, but if i knew it has a fabric defect, i would have sailed it before it dies again.

I find it amusing that your so outraged with Apple, yet had you known of the issue you would have happily sold the defective MacBook Pro to someone else. Leaving them to deal with the problem and bear the cost...Nice 🤪

FWIW my own 2011 heavily used 15" MBP continues to run as good as it ever has without issue despite the flawed dGPU. Why keep? Ten years of history now and the 2011 15" MBP is rather like an unexploded bomb, just a matter of time...

The graphics issues on mu MBP early 2011 13”.View attachment 1829461View attachment 1829460

Wait wait wait wait. 13 inch?! THIRTEEN INCH. The 13” model didn’t suffer the AMD defect, in fact it doesn’t even have an AMD chip. Those 13” machines are solid and robust and use Intel graphics. Have you tried plugging it into an external monitor? Does the glitching continue on the external monitor or is it just the internal display?

In fact the consumer iin Brazil has a privilege to choose where to start the legal action my be in the country of purchase or in the country that I actually live. Other thing jin additional.. you said that you didn’t know any contry that continues with the product even if its old, obsolete or whatever, i will tell you that France made Apple fabric any parts of olld vintage product until it works. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 France is one step away!! And Canadá court, this year (2021) sued Appy in a class action and allthe consumers that bought the 2011 model should be refound its A “erga omnes” decisions, tha obligate Apple to refound anyone.
