BEWARE! about disablemonitor HOT 3 OPEN

Someone please explain the mechanism by which this software breaks a thunderbolt port? I've looked at the source code of the last release and I find it borderline absurd that this claim was taken seriously.

Truth be told, those Thunderbolt ports are sometimes very picky. I have a brand new MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) and it always had an issue with one of the Thunderbolt ports. One works flawlessly every time, one requires a restart to make it work.

EDIT: Also, yes, I don't think the code is malicious, the problem that occurred is normal for Apple. Wait... That didn't sound right. I wanted to say that the problem with Thunderbolt ports can happen when using them. Maybe there was a spark that caused the port to short circuit.

I was about to suggest that you take your brand new MacBook Pro to simply get fixed when I realized that you are referring to a 2-3 year old machine. I still wonder if Apple would fix an obvious hardware problem which you have "always" had, but it should be clarified that by "brand new" you are referring to a computer that's 2-3 years old. Thunderbolt ports should work, period.
