Why do people use medium? It seems utterly pointless to write this content then put it somewhere that actively goes out of its way to make sure people can't read it?

- ncruces 3y agoThis bit becomes particularly ironic: But the point is that without the available knowledge online and access to components needed to repair it, it would have remained a dead relic of decades past.
- resonious 3y agoIt look like he also cites using a lot of free information on the internet in order to perform the restoration. But this opinion piece without any technical knowledge sharing ought to be paywalled, it seems.
- tempodox 3y ago> The author made this story available to Medium members only. Looks like it was the author's decision. +1 on the irony.
- rntz 3y agoIs it ironic, though? "Right to repair" has to do with freedom, sure, but not free-as-in-beer. It doesn't mean "it costs me no money to repair things". It means "I am not prevented from repairing things". Selling stuff - including selling writing - is not incompatible with the right to repair.
- chii 3y ago> Selling stuff - including selling writing - is not incompatible with the right to repair. apple also sells kits to repair (and components). Except they do so with high expense, such that they make the same or higher margins on those components than a new buy. No, i don't believe that information should be gated. The right to repair requires free information, open standards, and commodity components.
- spamatica 3y agoTrue that. We are just incredibly spoiled on that part of freedom.
