That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Reblog if you:

Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs

Have a friend with that problem

Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

No one will know which is it

This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that I am not… like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I’m not even exaggerating.

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.

anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect

This is awesome. Man is doing good ass deeds 24/7 because he’s giving people control.

iFixit is a global community of people helping each other repair things. Let's fix the world, one device at a time. Troubleshoot with expert

And if you need the ‘proprietary’ tools; go here!

I Fixit is actually how I repaired my dad’s old iphone 12 and then claimed it as my own!

ifixit also makes kits and instruction for nearly every part for consoles, computers, phones, tablets, just about anything. We’ve replaced multiple parts on our old 3Dses at this point. It’s not nearly as hard as you might assume and very worth it to learn how to repair your own electronics.

yes, I know the difference between genAI totally generating fake things out of thin air and specific machine learning projects based on a focused dataset. yes, the journalists and the moneybags are intentionally conflating the two things because the public does not totally understand.

my field (very basic ecology and morphotaxonomy, hi) inherently benefits from neither genAI NOR machine learning, and is now essentially dead, as all of the remaining money has been shunted to the former two. I know there are uses for machine learning, and that's great, but you can't use it for my thing, and now my thing is going away in favor of this stuff, whether or not it is "AI" and whether or not anyone wants it or benefits from it (my lab certainly did not lol).

forgive me if I am not mentioning the inherent value of machine learning on other things every time, I'm frustrated. this is now the ONLY science we get to have, and I'm tired of people musing that machine learning will do my thing too someday. no, it won't.
