> Apple have the right approach ...
Planned obsolescence through SoCs with no literature for system developers, soldered CPU, RAM, SSDs etc. and possible part-pairing on laptops and desktops was pioneered by Apple. I'd even go far as to say that the whole Right to Repair movement is an anti-Apple movement triggered by their hostility to consumer rights.
- cjk2 3y agoI think the planned obsolescence thing may not have any legs. My mother has a 9 year old Apple SoC in her pocket which is still getting software updates... As for all the other things the claims are usable in both directions. They're still dicks though!

- luyu_wu 3y agoYeah. No. My mothers Macbook's display connector came loose after 3 years. No plausible way to fix it because the display cable is hidden under all the other components. Anecdotes aren't the best, but there ARE reasons Apple got this reputation.
- bzzzt 3y agoIs your problem it couldn't be fixed or that you needed Apple to fix it?
- Atotalnoob 3y agoYou are forgetting John Deere’s contributions to these anti consumer practices
- thisislife2 3y agoYou are right. American farmers certainly deserve a lot of credit for advancing the Right to Repair movement in the US.
