Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Thankfully Jonathan was able to take it to an independent repair shop for a $75 CAD adhesive fix (and battery replacement?) despite Apple's restrictions against them.

Pal, grow up. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

And shut the fuck up with the apple fan boy bullshit. I would say the same thing to someone shitting on whatever phone you use.

The fact that you can’t imagine this not being an Apple vs everyone argument (because like I said, and I will say again, THEY ARE ALL BAD) makes this argument pointless because you clearly lack the skills to have an intelligent conversation.

Have a fantastic life and stop talking to me. Thanks in advance.

Ok my last to thank you for proving to me that you are complete idiot who has no idea what he is talking about, without any arguments just screaming they are all bad. Maybe you should read up about choosing the lesser evil you dumb ass. I already agreed with you that companies are bad. And maybe learn to constructive arguments instead repeating the same thing over and over again like a child. But you are idiot so I can't expect from you.

You just making yourself look more stupid with every comment you type.

Oooh now I get it. You’re one of those Linux kiddies who thinks shitting on mainstream tech makes you cool.

You’re a fucking loser, bud. Get a hobby that doesn’t involve thinking you’re better than someone based off what operating system you use. 😂
