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.

Oh my god shut up. Every major company does this.
While that is true, some corporations are worse than others. Buying apples products at this point is plainlny stupid.
They’re all bad. Full stop. “Mines less bad than yours so I’m morally superior to you!”
Shut the fuck up with this take already.
Fuck you asshole I never said I morally superior to anyone. But there are definitely companies that are worse than others. So stop defending your stupidity for supporting a crappy company. You do not owe them anything and they don't owe you anything.
They definitely don't need you to defend them with your shitty attitude
I’m not defending anyone. I’m calling you out for being a hypocrite.
I’ll say it again; THEY ARE ALL BAD. It’s not a competition. Calling people stupid for purchasing apple products when your consumption has no meaningful difference makes you look like an idiot.
Really? So its is the same if a company forces you in a walled garden with a company that lets you install anything. Is the same you pay premium price for product other companies offer half the price. Is it the same that company create tons of electronic waste because they refuse to have a charger that is compatible with other electronic devices?
The list can go on and on for crap that apple pulls. So cut the bullshit ok. The only idiot here is the you the apple fan boy who can not see his beloved company being criticised.
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.
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. 😂
😂 😂 😂
Take a long walk off a short pier, k?
You just making yourself look more stupid with every comment you type.
What would you suggest then?
Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and continue to use and enjoy my Apple products
Just make sure you don't get suckered into buying a new device when the old one is perfectly fixable at third party repair shops or sometimes even by yourself.
I buy parts that I need from ifixit. Not paying Apple to replace batteries. Should prob clarify that I have a full set up smart home and use HomeKit because it’s the least intrusive of the other options I’ve found. Used to use Alexa but it was dogshit.
HomeAssistant is solid too!
