Only some of Apple is quality, the rest is quality with quotes. The Apple's extended warranty program is worth billions, so is the repair industry fixing all the broken apple products. Heck they have yet to design a charging cable that

Audio (gear) is nowhere near to being a solved problem. One open problem is to match your own personal HRTF to your gear. Audio (production) is also not a solved problem. Your experience is decided by the recording/mixing engineer, and

You're about 30 years too late. Manufacturing is not coming back to the US. We've been migrating towards a service economy for several decades now. The rise of automation has only accelerated this trend. What kind of manufacturing

Isn't it ironic that you're doing the same thing hes afraid Google might - Using someones opinions on social media for punitive purposes. For double irony, it also mirrors China's social credit system in-part.

You're disagreeing with the OP, but presenting a completely different argument. By all accounts, the M1 mini seems to be a neat little machine, and I've placed an order myself to replace a super old machine at home. However, the O

Promoting reuse and repair is environmentalism. Preventing repair (as Apple does) generates more e-waste. There really is no way around that fact. >What matters environmentally is aggregate device lifetime, so you get the most use out

Hermes handbags also have high resale value. That tells us nothing. Apple's anti-repair approach absolutely harms the environment. Certainly they are not alone in this, many/most electronics these days are irreparable. But Apple i

Apple's (and everyone elses') anti-repair stance (both in terms of design and in policy) is harming the environment and generating tons of e-waste. Whats wrong with expressing a view that helps the planet?

Exactly right. It is important to understand why things are designed the way they are before we go about challenging established engineering principles. https://www.electronics-cooling.com/2016/09/surface-temperat.

Software developers are a tiny fraction of business users. In our industry - vaccines - most people use Windows laptops to get work done. Execs do use Apple stuff, but they're not doing the actual ground-level work, so its probably the

Your comment is unfair, and if I'm being honest sounds very disingenuous if you've really spoken to people in the right to repair movement. If a business is willing to invest time, learn board repair, and offer it as a service wit

What exactly is wacky about limiting legal immigration and/or asylum if that is what the citizens want? IMHO, Those don't seem like insane ideas when there is crazy amounts of unemployment in the country.

For most international retail products, local pricing is based in-part on the cost of service centers/staff that are required to maintain local operations. How does it work with musical instruments?
