> am, however, against the idea of companies being forced to design products around being easily repairable. If a company wants to make a super thin device with basically no easy way to take it apart, that's their prerogative. If a company wants to solder on components to the device like RAM or the storage or the cpu or gpu, that's their prerogative. Totally agree. But they should be publicly labeled as extreme polluters whose devices aren't repairable and who design devices that way intentionally. They should be free to do it, and then free to be denounced for it. >The government doesn't need to be involved in this respect. The environmental aspect of unrepairable devices should probably be regulated like any other industry who makes the decisions to pollute because they want to.
