> Microsoft supported legislation to make it easier to fix devices
Is this the same company that manufactures permanently glued shut Surface tablets and "surface books"? One end of the company is clearly not talking to the other.
Go look at ifixit teardowns for any Microsoft surface product.
- FridayoLeary 4y agoIt's nice to rail against them in theory. But i use a surface book and i think it's brilliant as a casual user.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoBeing a nice machine is largely separate from whether it's repairable (until one day it suddenly really isn't); what's your point?

To be honest, most big companies I've worked at/work/for have had that going on to some extent or another. I'm just happy someone at Microsoft is at least advocating for Right to Repair. > Go look at ifixit teardowns for any Microsoft surface product. Newer ones are better. And even old surface machines were mostly awesome, premium devices. (My main gripe was an unacknowledged design flaw, which was well known among users, but not the designers - I hope I complained enough that it finally found its way on someone's radar. Haven't heard the same issue in newer surfaces - but I had the issue across 3 different Surface Book 2's)

- solarkraft 4y ago> Go look at ifixit teardowns for any Microsoft surface product. They've become pretty okay, actually!
- qwery 4y agoYep, that's the same company. The same Microsoft is partnering with ifixit to sell (and control the sale of) parts and tools.
