Seems like “not expect the manufacturing to help you, just not actively hinder you” risks a lot of “interesting” interpretations.
Is my Microwave’s manufacturer actively hindering me by sealing access to its firmware behind a wall of plastic with no external port? If it’s not, could Apple just remove the iPhone’s port, throw a wireless charger in the box, and call it a day?
- fartcannon 5y agoYes the microwave should have accessible firmware. All electronics should have accessible firmware, software and hardware. Because it prevents abuse of powers (like Epson printers, for example) and, most importantly, it prevents waste. Apple, due to its war on repair, locked software and influence among its peers is an environmental catastrophe.
