let's see if this works
hmm
yeah okay where's this window
xu xu xu
the chat up here
uh
what is this
that's not the right window
that's the right window
hey everybody how's it going hope you're
having a lovely day so there was
somebody who posted a link in the
discord to this interesting article on
apple self repair program and i thought
it'd be just kind of fun to go through
these you know i went through the verges
i went through good morning americas and
now this just seems to be some random
individual that has a few thousand
followers and i just thought it would be
fun to just give my perspective on all
these particular articles as they come
out in real time so i'm going to put
this on the screen
for a little bit and then we'll read it
you get the email about bd medical
condemning third party repair
i get so many freaking emails so i don't
know let's see probably not i'm going to
assume no
probably not
let's see i'm going to search for the
word medical
bd condemns third party pumps okay there
this email was from three weeks ago but
this email was
okay this was put in the read later
because it was about a page long sorry
this is this i do have it this is in my
read later pile i'll put a star on it so
it's higher in the read later pile
but yeah i don't know much about medical
things so
i have a missouri state senate counter
willing to speak to you about right to
repair
um
cool i guess email but my email inbox is
kind of a mess at the moment louis at
fighttorrepair.org
or talk to nathan proctor at usperg
well i do have a lobbyist that i have in
the state of missouri right now ryan
rhoden they do they're actually doing
some really good work it's just i'm
mostly like this is going to sound so
like such a dick thing to say i don't
mean it that way but like i'm focusing
on the people that have already been
elected because they're the people that
actually get to decide whether this
becomes law more so than candidates but
yeah i mean i'm happy to have an email
back and forth but until they're elected
there is not really much that i can uh
there's not there's not much i think
that i can
get shaking from that but yeah lewis at
fight to repair or iguana
uh let's see okay so where was i
okay so what i was going to do is i was
going to read through this article and
yeah my email is my my since i make my
email public
if i don't mean there's no disrespect jd
but if an email looks like it's like two
or three pages about something i don't
know
it just puts put into like a read later
pile like you got to start with the tldr
because that inbox gets like two or
three hundred emails a day
um
so like it's best to start with the tldr
i'll just give you that advice if i if
uh so
because the tl dr ones i'll look into
more but the non cldr ones it's like
this is three pages about medical
equipment
like i don't know
let's get into this so this article says
apple just proved that right to repair
isn't always right and if this wasn't
predictable i don't know what was but do
activists want to listen
well michael uh now is not the time for
me to talk to a state senator but i
appreciate it but again you have my
email so that when it is the time to
have that conversation
yeah i'm happy to talk to him but i
after this i can't talk to him right now
though but yeah it says do send me an
email and
we'll get to that
vehement activism that's what bothers me
on the surface every idea has merit but
is there actual debate on either side no
not really since the beginning of right
to repair both sides kept screaming
their right citing the customer's rights
and well-being but here's the thing
about rights not all of them are
necessarily good for you you have the
right to e-10 ice creams a day but is it
good for you most definitely not
the problem with right to repair on both
sides of the conversation is that
neither side takes a pragmatic and level
hand to look at it and guess what apple
of all companies expose that so there's
many different ways that we can start
here the problem with write to repair is
they don't take a pragmatic and
level-headed look
my pragma my i think what i suggest is
fairly pragmatic in level heaven don't
tell the company that makes the chip
that i use for border pairs that they
can't sell that chip to me if i wish to
buy it
don't go out of your way to require
pairing so that
a device has to be paired with a
manufacturer tool in order for that part
to actually work again
allow us to get access to a pdf
or board view file so that we can fix
the boards that we fix rather than have
to deal with stolen stuff off of a usb
drive somewhere in china
i don't think that the stuff that we're
asking for
is particularly unreasonable i think
it's very reasonable and i think the way
that you can demonstrate that this is a
reasonable is that in uh
20s and 30s and 40s and 50s and 60s and
70s this was all standard it's only been
disappearing over my generation
and i don't know what he means when he
says they expose something but further
when they say that right you know just
because you have the right to do
something doesn't mean it is good for
you um again i want you to understand
where what what perspective is being
[Music]
i want you to understand the perspective
that they're coming from here which is
it it sounds to me like just because you
can have the choice to do something
doesn't mean it is good for you
but that well there's a few ways to come
at this a
ice eating ice cream
let's say eating 10 ice creams a day
that's always 99 of the time if not 100
of the time that's kind of a bad outcome
for you so for instance i may i've lost
about 28 pounds since uh over the past
about you know year and a year and a
half i don't think that i would look the
way that i do right now if i ate 10 ice
creams a day there is no world there's
no way that i could eat 10 ice creams a
day and be in the shape that i'm in
right now that just would not happen if
anything i probably would have gained 28
pounds rather than lose it however
repair can go many different ways so if
you're fixing your own device or you're
fixing somebody else's you could have a
good outcome if you're knowledgeable you
could have a bad outcome if you're
careless or not knowledgeable there's
many different ways that can go but
immediately right out the gate where we
have this ridiculous comparison where
you know where like you have the right
to eat 10 ice creams a day but is it
good for you most certainly not
obviously that's not good for you but
that really doesn't have anything to do
with fixing something again there are
many different ways that fixing
something can go there's really only one
way that eating 10 ice creams a day can
go i just think that that's an insane
comparison but let's continue whether
it's intentional or not apple managed to
expose a gaping hole in the topic that
has probably been more in mainstream
media than will slapping chris right to
repair exposing it works neither in
their favor nor against them and i guess
that's good news for apple
for the customer there is no good news
not in this story and it clearly
illustrates how often with the best of
intentions a short-sighted fight against
the establishment can backfire in ways
most didn't expect
apple just recently released their
self-service repair program which on the
surface appears to satisfy at least one
of the goals of right to repair remove
apple as much as possible from the
repair process and allow the customer or
a handy enough friend neighbor a village
priest to repair their iphone so one of
the things that i think is implied here
is that right to repair people got what
they wanted because he said again after
fighting the establishment you know it
backfired in a way that you didn't
expect they released their self-service
repair program which on the surface
appears to satisfy at least one goal
it actually doesn't satisfy that goal at
all and what i've talked about in many
of the videos that i've that i've done
in this channel and particularly the
most recent one i did where i went over
apple's self-service repair program uh
one of the things that i said in this
video let me just uh
show it so if you wanted to follow along
you could
that video is this one over here
come on you can load faster than that
there we go so this video over here i go
over this program and one of the things
that i went over in this program is you
don't get access to [ __ ] you can't get a
schematic you can't get a board view you
can't get most parts to a macbook and
when you will be able to get parts to
macbooks you're not getting access to um
you're not going to get getting access
to the lcd cell by itself or the
keyboard by itself you're gonna get
access to a top case or a or a bottom
case you're going to get access to
something that's really really expensive
that has a lot of parts that you don't
need
you're not gonna get a schematic or a
board view like just get out of here
that's never happening and when it comes
to the iphone
you don't get the power button you don't
get the volume flex you don't get the
charging board if you have an iphone 10
or 8 or 7 you don't get any parts
this program really doesn't give you
access to much of anything for one or
two phones you get access to a screen
and a battery at damn near what the cost
would be to have apple do the service
for you so i think it's really important
to just step back for a moment when they
say they won and they got what they want
and now that's proof that it's a bad
thing
is that
you never actually
we never actually got we were asking for
one moment
there's a bunch of jingling noise over
there i don't know where all the
jingling is coming from
uh what article are we discussing today
here i'll give you a link
in the chat there is a link
sounds good on paper right there's a
romanian saying furious theory but
practice might kill you or in this case
might kill your phone the number of
videos appearing on the web about people
attempting to repair with apple's own
kit is growing by the minute and guess
what while the apple repair kit is a
fantastic value for the money thirteen
hundred dollars if you wanna buy and
keep it from any future repairs as a
regular customer when you rent it those
thirteen hundred dollars will be blocked
on your card until you return the kit
let me ask you how many customers can
afford just randomly having 1300 frozen
on their cars
i mean well firstly they bought a 1 000
phone so i think you're saying that
about the wrong group of customers
but that's the cost of a 13-inch macbook
pro not to mention the stress and hassle
of ordering the thing returning it
waiting for the money to be released
upon receipt if you ask me i'm already
more tempted to just trade in that phone
and get a new one and not even go
through the hassle of apple themselves
repairing it
so because apple released a program that
gives you the option to use a tool that
you don't need
that shows that right to repair is not
is not a good thing like that shows that
that makes no sense that apple just
proved that right to repair isn't always
right that does nothing to do with right
to repair that has to do with the
implementation of the program and it
also has to do with your choice and
tools if you don't want thirteen hundred
dollars on your credit card what you can
do is you can use a spudger like the
rest of us i mean
do i have one on my desk no i don't
because i haven't repaired [ __ ] in a
long time i am out of touch
yeah okay here we go you can use a
spudger like the rest of us see i i do
have something over here and a blow
dryer you don't have to use their 1300
tool so when he says right to repair not
right for everybody
what are you talking about you don't
need these tools to do this job it's a
choice again there are people that do
bga rework with the skeletal ir6000 this
thing cost like 400 bucks i have a zamao
zm r6200c that thing costs over 7 500
now
i got that tool because we were doing so
much work at the time that for me to
have that tool that increases my
efficiency and increases the the success
rate of what i'm doing even a tiny bit
it made complete sense to me because of
the volume my business was processing
that doesn't mean that you need a 7 500
tool to replace a chip on a motherboard
i use it because i find the value in it
just because you don't find the value in
it doesn't mean that right to repair is
wrong
but let's suppose that you do have 1300
sitting on your card and you embark on
the self-repair journey watching the
videos of people attempting the repairs
some more skilled than others each made
me feel like i was watching a thriller
not a repair so far nobody managed to
make it seem as if it was easy peasy
lemon squeezy quite the opposite in fact
it feels just marginally easier than
using ifixit tools now again i would
the program made parts available
ifixit does not have the oem original
apple screen they don't they don't have
an oem apple battery apple has them
so
yeah they made tools available that you
don't need to buy but they also made
them available alongside the parts so
you have an option to buy parts now how
is right to repair wrong because a
company made parts available that were
not available before to the average
everyday consumer
makes no sense again you don't need
those tools now when he says so far
nobody managed to seem as if it was easy
peasy lemon squeezy that's because most
people who are opening these tools and
doing videos of it are doing this for
the shock factor for the wow factor
they're opening it up for the first time
and you're seeing somebody use this tool
for the first time the first time that
you use a new tool that you've never
used before you're probably going to be
a little bit rusty the same way that
when i do a new repair for the first
time
it usually comes out
pretty horrible because i'm learning as
i go everybody's first try doing
something new is going to be weird you
don't need to use their tool you can buy
their part and then use your own spudger
the way many 99 of the people that want
to do this repair are going to do then
there's all the missing bits oh you need
rubbing alcohol esd shielded tweezers
syringe and needle heat resistant gloves
all of which are not included in the kit
and let me ask you this how many regular
customers even know what esd means
i do but i am not a regular customer i
used to program rechip motherboards for
a living
i honestly don't even know if my
tweezers are esd shield
i don't know and honestly
i don't care
i don't care i don't care i've been
doing this for like almost 15 years i
just
uh
i'm not dealing with chips from the
1970s uh and that's and i'm not grabbing
them by
you if i'm grabbing a qfn package or a
bga package i'm not grabbing them by the
ends and if i am grabbing a uh
resistor i'm usually grabbing it by the
middle not the metal ends a lot of the
time but even then it's just
this is and again do you need a syringe
and needle
no
do you need
rubbing alcohol it's maybe but who
doesn't have that in their
bathroom finally the instruction manuals
they're great don't get me wrong for a
second yet how many people are actually
good at following them i gifted a tiny
lego set to a 30 year old friend of mine
she never played with the lego before
and of course she made at least three
mistakes and lego instructions were
pretty darn amazing
i don't read a lot of instructions to be
honest with you i like to mess around i
like to jump in try to figure it out on
my own because the manual is always
missing something that i need and it's
just i like to figure it out myself when
i get stuck go to the manual that's just
something that
like that's the way that i learn and i
again
this is hysterical it's like finally one
of the problems again these are bullet
points about the problems with right to
repair the instruction manual is great
yet how many people are going to follow
the manual
like really i mean like these are these
are the criticisms that we're focusing
on here
those
those are the criticisms
i get it i empathize as someone needs to
repair computers for a living i more
than understand it it's good to have
laws that allow things to be repaired
but it's not as black and white as
people may want it to be i hate to make
this joke but this is one of the
situations where 50 shades of grey
doesn't even begin to cover it the
number of broken iphones that will come
out of the self-repair program is
probably going to be higher than those
fixed and on the whole a lot less people
will opt for self-repair than activists
might hope it's not because the cause is
no merit but because right to repair
cannot be universally and
indiscriminately applied what does that
even mean it cannot be universally and
indiscriminately applied
as opposed to discriminate
so far every tech reviewer has reached
the conclusion apple self repair kit is
not for the average customer
so then don't use it buy the original
part from apple so you don't have to
worry about whether the ebay battery you
get is going to be a piece of [ __ ] three
months after you buy it and use a
[ __ ] spudger like the rest of the
world
i will go further and say it's probably
not for any customer the soldering iron
is what put bread on my table for a good
number of years and i feel no
inclination of taking my iphone apart
and what does this prove that just
because one is entitled to repair and
the tools to repair doesn't mean it's a
good and customer friendly idea
so what is a good and customer friendly
idea to not give people the option at
all to not make parts available at all
to not make manuals available like which
is a friendlier which is friendlier
having the option or not having the
option and in what world is having the
option less friendly to a consumer
and what does this prove that just
because one uh i read that part already
on the other hand that those going
against the cause
should also not take the apple example
as universal proof that repairing a
device is a bad idea whether my
prediction that eventually will get to
non-repairable devices anyway to the
extent that nothing will be repaired but
recycled and replaced will turn out to
be true or not what i would urge every
activist on either sides of the
conversation to take a step back and
understand the sheer complexity of the
topic this is as nuanced the
conversation as one can ever get in tech
i for one said it twice apple
self-service repair solution is anything
but enticing okay i agree 100
i agree with that but to assume that
apple's self-service repair solution
is the
golden
holy grail i was about to say golden
grill and or holy goose
it's golden grail and
no it's holy grail golden goose holy
grail golden goose hurley wow yeah
got to get lunch after this
i agree that this program
sucks but to associate this program with
right to repair and then say this is why
right to repair backfired
no
not even close
so i'm going to go through your comments
see what you all think
ah
shoe in for state senator well i'll
happily yeah i'll talk to him once this
is all done michael
okay let's see do we have good comments
what would you like to see in ast if you
could design from scratch basic pass
fail test give out detailed info
detailed information would be nice i
honestly i can't
i don't even i used asd back in the day
i haven't used ast
you know who the hell is going to give
me access to that [ __ ]
nobody's dumb enough to try and give me
access to that i have a question if i
have an m1 error and when i open my
engine sometimes make noise should i
worry you should worry because you
bought a computer with a soldered an ssd
that has no liquid resistance at all
worry because of that who gives a [ __ ]
what noises your computer makes when you
move it around you bought a computer
with a solder an ssd encrypted drive
with limited repair ability
worry
worry nonstop
i was drunk once spilled beer on my gpu
should i tell repair guys i don't know
what happened or admit that it rained
inside that's dumb like if you just what
what's what's the point what's the point
of lying about it you know
they're going to figure it out anyway
like they're going to open it they're
going to find the water it's just it's
going to take them longer
and make them less interested in
figuring out your problem
it's really up to you and if you tell
the truth about what happened you are
going to expedite the the place's
ability to actually help you and
increase their interest in solving your
problem versus tossing it in the bin and
moving on to something else so it's
really up to whether or not you want
like what is more valuable to you
you know the temporary embarra here's
the thing everybody who runs a store
like this we know that you are careless
like we run a liquid damage repair
business
we know that you are careless that's why
you're here there's no point in making
fun of you because you being careless is
why we have a job it's why i'm able to
buy things like this 8.99 h m t-shirt
it's why i'm able to buy stuff like this
plastic wrapping to cover everything
here before i
you know
take care of the person that takes off
every single monday because he gets a
hangover every single sunday morning
that's right
but in all seriousness here like there's
a
shielded tweezers huh
man is comparing a child's toy to a
person fixing a 900 device
you call people stupid the writer of the
article yeah like the whole like who's
gonna understand manuals i honestly i
don't read the manual until i get stuck
on something
sorry if this has been asked or answered
by the moving office i love you emily
you're a great mod but i get asked that
like 50 times a day
there's a comment in my last video i'll
copy and paste it somewhere
in here i don't know i'm sorry i just
until i get lunch i'm not going to want
to answer the same thing over and over
again i hope you're doing well with the
nursing uh nursing job in school and all
that
but
give me any other question
it's
depends on whether or not in three to
six months
i have any money left
that's what that but that that's i don't
want to discuss that until that process
is over with
do business with the general public is
like doing business with the murder of
crows a bunch of borderline starving
psychopaths are incompetent i don't get
it
why does the author of this article seem
to think he is the ultimate measuring
stick for the motivation and skills of
the average consumer at the end of the
day let's say he's correct i mean that
doesn't actually matter
because this program does not represent
the entirety of what right to repair is
asking for
if that person is too stupid to be able
to fix it themselves they should still
have the option to be able to go to
somebody else who can then get the
access to the parts and everything they
need to be able to do something
themselves the idea that you should rate
right to repair as a concept solely
based on what you got out of a very very
limited program from one company that
doesn't really do 90 of what it is we
actually needed to do is in my opinion
silly
okay
let's see
uh where was i
are you doing keto or something not keto
i just cut out the bread and the p i i
cut out pita bread a bean i cut out
beans
i miss beans so much oh my god i love
beans but they bloat you so bad
and i cut out i cut out bread
and i cut out like if i don't get a wrap
i'll get a salad i don't get the pita
anymore that like those three things
were
very intensely helpful i don't get
anything out of eating that stuff
no pizza i haven't eaten pizza in here
pizza is [ __ ] pizza is no good for you
pizza is garbage
only have one semester left
congratulations
i know you're nervous about passing one
of your last courses so i'm happy that
that turned out that way
why doesn't youtube have a tap reply
function
oh yeah in the app function that's the
thing brian minor if you're actually
using youtube on uh mobile it does the
at doesn't work and it gets even better
if you want to copy and paste a comment
on mobile or copy and paste something
from a comment it actually you can
select it's hysterical like it's it's so
bad
but
how long until we can disassemble and 3d
print their own trips at home using base
material i'd say probably two or three
generations
lying sucks true
messing up your idioms slacking on
english homework
same thing as the samsung and i fix a
collaboration since it got announced i
fixed it stopped restockings s9
batteries right as i was about to buy
one
yeah the thing that sucks again with the
samsung program is a they're only
offering replacement batteries for
devices that are newer where they are
not going to need the battery
and two
they're only selling the battery
attached to a screen the most expensive
part to a samsung phone that most people
need to replace is the screen
if i need a battery i'm not paying two
or three hundred dollars for a screen
half out of here
again again
it's another it's another garbage
program and to be clear i want to i just
want to draw a line in the sand here it
is not a bad program because of kyle at
i fix it he is one of those people that
would stand in front of the white house
you know for three days on a hunger
strike just to try to get something
passed uh he that's not because of him
that's all that's all on samsung 110 on
samsung
even chicago deep dish pizza [ __ ]
pizza's [ __ ] it's just a pile of dough
and bread it's like there's not no no
pizza
no pizza no
it's like a pile of cheese and bread and
dough and
ugh
nope not for me
it also doesn't taste good enough to me
most pizzas doesn't is not good enough
in taste to be worth the even if it was
healthy for you but the fact that it's
not no thanks
the drawbacks mentioned aren't even
negatives for the customer as you
pointed out had nothing to do with right
to repair again this this is the part
that kills me here where it's like
where where did i put my window huh
like that one of these drawbacks is
again finally the instruction manuals
they're great but who's actually good at
following it like even if the manual is
good it's still not good enough because
somebody won't follow it
that's like saying listen okay let's say
the schematics apple released are great
they release schematics but that's not
good because a lot of people are not
going to follow i don't care what other
people are going to do i'll take that
schematic and fix something with it i
don't care if 95 of the people that read
that schematic go oh and give up and
throw it away there's five percent of
people that are not going to throw it
away and those five percent that do get
it are going to be fixing everything for
the 95 of the people that don't
understand the manual
it's like
i'm trying to remember the name of this
i know i'm going to get it wrong
i usually get these things wrong
but there's a
who was it
i forget if it was the pareto principle
or something else but there's this idea
that something like half of the people
oh is it
like the square root of the total number
of people involved in something are
going to produce half of the productive
output so if you have nine employees
three of them are probably responsible
for half of the for half of the
productivity
like so if you have nine employees three
of them are responsible for half the
productivity whereas if you have 10 000
employees like 100 of them are
responsible for half of your overall
productivity even if most people don't
understand these manuals
even if most people don't understand the
schematic
like that's that 100 that do are going
to be fixing everything for that
9900 that don't
so it doesn't matter if every person
will understand a manual
but i also think that that's massively
misunderstanding people's ability to
read a manual if they want to
people seem to think that right to
repair means you must repair devices
yourself like it's a court order yeah
and i think that that's the point that's
going to try and turn this into a
cultural war i think that's if this
winds up being turned into a cultural
war the way it's going to happen is
they're going to say these people think
like people like lewis think that you're
bad if you don't want to fix your own
stuff and that's the complete opposite
there are a lot of my own devices that i
don't fix
and you know people will ask me why
don't why don't you fix your amp why
don't you fix that and
i don't fix a lot of my own stuff the
reason is after i got to work at 12 or 1
in the afternoon and was at work until
three or four in the morning the next
day when i go home i don't want to fix
things anymore i spend 12 or 14 hours
here fixing stuff so i'm done uh you
know i would give that stuff to somebody
else to fix or i would get a new one and
then i would take my old broken device
and sell it to somebody that actually
does want to get it fixed themselves you
know and people go wait what mr right to
repairs and fix his own stuff like yeah
cause i spent all day fixing [ __ ] for
other people but i don't think that it
is necessary that you fix your own 100
necessary that you fix all your own
stuff
it's about having the choice or the
option to and i think that the way that
this could get
misconstrued in the future to try and
get people against right to repair is
trying to frame it in this way where
there people like lewis look down on you
if you don't fix your own stuff the
right to repair community looks down on
you if you don't try to you know fix
your own house fan that you got for
twenty dollars at walmart and that
couldn't be further from the truth and
it's not what we're actually advocating
for we're advocating for you to have the
option or for the people that will do
the job for you to be able to have that
as an option
you are lucky you enjoy the taste of
healthy food
there's small things you can do to make
things taste really good that are
healthy and honest i think that it's
incorrect that things that are good for
you are
like to taste really bad i've never had
that as an experience
you feel that iphone's at a higher risk
to be hacked over an android
i you're asking the wrong person
can't even remotely say i'm qualified to
answer that question
gym gains are solid what inspired the
iron pumping a toxic chick that i had a
crush on 10 years ago that came back
into my life for a very short period of
time
however however
even though this person is out of my
life for good
i have not stopped my routine
and i changed up my routine and i
haven't changed back to my old shitty
routine and because i like the results
just for me honestly
i'll take them but
you're lucky
do you even have time to fix boards
anymore i don't need to
there are people here that are all
better at fixing boards than me i let
them do it why are the tech media
reviewing the apple self repair when
they aren't the ones repairing stuff you
repair stuff people like you should be
the ones judging apple self repair i
don't think that i should be the primary
judge of any of these things everybody
has the right to share their opinion and
i'm totally fine with everybody sharing
their opinions as long as i'm allowed to
share my opinion too uh you know i
shared my opinion here and 165 000
people watched it
so i mean you know i can't complain
again like i said what i had to say
about this program 165 000 people listen
to what i had to say
um you know
that like i'm happy with that
they can comment on what i say i can
comment on what they say that's the
beauty of the modern world
you and eli have allowed you to replace
my tv consumption
oh no oh no
that's a responsibility the fallacies in
the article are too cringe to not get
triggered
what's the deal with those bags
they're there
exactly author acts like every person
who never touched tech is suddenly going
to tempt us no it's tech nerds who
already have some experience
my end goal is to become a clinton any
advice now to get started
you pet a cat named clinton but i'm not
going to let you do that
can you speak on the desk ball mouse
you're using it's a trackball
should i buy the framework laptop even
if it isn't delivered in my country
why not
if it does what you want it to do go for
it
that's why it's a right not a
commandment true also hello rodrigo
he's been here for like six or seven
years
always like seeing familiar faces
should cpus be soldered or socketed i
think socket is superior as long as i
don't change the socket type
i would say socketed on laptops that are
bricks soldered on ultrabooks and
smaller machines because the socket is
going to make it a thicker machine
but the thing with the socket is like if
we're talking about a thinkpad you know
w520 socket if we're talking about an x1
carbon solder it
what's the story of the bags covering
the table there's no story they don't
have a story people do this all the time
like well i used to get asked this at
the apartment what is the story of that
chair like bro it's a chair like it's
it's a chair there's no story
there's no story it's just a chair just
back
the numbers are fake i don't know what
numbers you're talking about
they're there come on i paid two bucks
to get a real answer you did but you
asked a dumb question like i don't know
what you want from me it's a [ __ ]
cover or covering a table there's no
story
i'd like you know like pocahontas from a
[ __ ] disney movie didn't come here
and run into my office and cover it i
don't know what you want from me i'm not
gonna make up a story for two bucks
what's the phone that seems to be the
easiest to fix in your opinion
i think that it's probably the fair
phone but i don't have a fair phone in
my hands just from the fact that you
don't just from the fact that a user can
replace their battery by sliding the
back cover off
that's that like
just the fact that you could slide the
back cover off of it to replace the
battery
but why are they covering the table
to protect the table why would you put a
plastic covering over something to
protect it
to protect it why would you cover
something why
these questions are [ __ ] holy [ __ ]
something good come on we're discussing
right to repair here
would louis like to visit europe in the
future and speak on right to repair in
front of european parliament
maybe that sounds like a really long
trip though
what's the phone that seems
isn't the real reason why companies
don't really schematics because of the
real threat of chinese companies et
cetera stealing their designs and making
clones what solutions are there oh come
on like if we're on if we're thinking
about this for real like you if you go
to veenafix right now you could go to
venafix and get a schematic to almost
every single macbook if you pay five or
ten bucks or notebook schematics or
there's so many websites or you know
elvicom there's a bunch of different
websites where you can get access to all
these schematics you bet your ass that
if uh that if
they want that schematic they're going
to get it like if that schematic is in
use in some factory in china and xi
jinping wants that schematic he's
getting it you're not producing [ __ ] in
china and protecting your intellectual
property
there's a different reason that was
revealed by the ceo of framework that
actually kind of made some sense to me
but it's not the answer most of you
would think but i'm sworn to secrecy
there so i i respect the fact that he
doesn't want me to give that reason
publicly i do hope that he's open to
talk about it at some point in time i
hope that at some point in time that he
that the ceo of framework is open to
discussing the reasoning publicly but
you know i
i'm sworn to secrecy there what kind of
phone you currently use i use an s10e
uh yeah it's over there s10e i can plug
a microphone into it
because it has a headphone jack and it
actually fits in my hand unlike most of
these [ __ ] tablets they sell now that
they call phones and it has a microsd
card slot it's affordable i got this
thing for like 200 or 280 or 290 bucks
used and until somebody makes a phone
that has a headphone jack a micro sd
card slot uh that sd card slot that fits
in my hand i really have no interest in
buying a new phone i actually bought a
bunch of
i i bought a bunch of batteries for this
phone and i bought a and headphone jacks
because that's usually what i break
because i have a clamp-on microphone
that goes into it so that when it the
battery dies i have i have a storage of
batteries here because i'm not buying
another one for a long time
email sent missouri state senate
candidate oh very cool his contact
information is included if you or your
lobbyist is willing to reach out i'm
definitely yeah ryan rhoden would
definitely be interested in reaching out
i'm more than happy to put him in touch
with my lobbyist that i have there
uh because like the the last hearing
that was in missouri it actually hurt my
brain i i there's a live stream on this
channel from a month or a month and a
half ago
and it actually like it it hurt my brain
when you heard the questions that they
were being asked it was painful
my god just answer please dude the
plastic is there to protect the desk
stop asking stupid [ __ ] get on with your
life come on
why to protect it why because i want the
desk to be protected
just
go
away make room for people that asked
that ask good questions
why is my sd card being weird probably
because you have a pny
i have a suspicion that a manufacturer
like apple are afraid of the liability
and selling component level part since
they're a pain and test before being
shipped as opposed to testing an
assembly
partially i i hear that but one of the
other problems
why do you need to protect it
my chat is [ __ ]
i'm sorry i'm just gonna [ __ ] ignore
you all now okay i'm only gonna read the
good ones i think the pro the part here
is that
a big part of it is that they won't
allow other companies to do this so
again if apple doesn't want the
liability of selling specific parts
that's totally fine but why is it that
you try and keep lg from selling me this
that part why is it that you try to keep
interstel from selling me that part why
do you try to keep texas instruments
from selling me that part why can't it
be intersil's choice whether or not they
wish to sell something to me why do you
have to put something in the contract to
actually stop that from happening
does the plastic on the table make it
right to repair friendly it yes because
it's modular there's no adhesive on the
plastic on the table
there is no adhesive on the plastic on
the table
also they used to make a noise and for
some reason it doesn't make a noise
anymore
did that because i didn't hook up the
sound maybe i didn't hook up sound
oh i didn't
uh oh
oh no
oh
there we go
okay now i can actually hear it when
that happens
this program is more entertaining than
repair almost anything is more
entertaining than repair thank you sonny
are you a weights or cardio guy
that both
i mean
you have to do both in my opinion
i spend a lot less time doing cardio now
than i did in the beginning like once i
lost
28 pounds i lost the the amount of work
that i have to put in to lose the next
10 i just i'm not willing to sit i'm not
willing to sit on an elliptical for like
one or two hours a day anymore
i am just not so so i i have so i did
stop with the weight i stopped losing
weight
oh there you go
there you go i i i'm right now i'm at
159 pounds and i want to get to 150 but
like going from 188 to 159 i wanted it
enough that i was willing to put in an
hour to two hours of war just cardio a
day in addition to weightlifting going
from 159 to 150 i don't want it enough
to do that so i'm really only doing like
15 or 20 minutes a day
would you support to only allow stuff to
be sold if all parts and schematics are
made available so the brand manufactured
have to ensure repairability
from day one oh sweet mercy
one sec did you see framework is
released in next-generation motherboards
yeah that's really cool
uh they release yeah and the fact that
you can also use the motherboard outside
of the case is also really cool so you
have a use so your old motherboard can
be used as an actual computer somewhere
that that's nice
thank you also thank you james
do you think right to repair is in a
place where it survived without you at
this point i don't think right to repair
ever needed me to begin with honestly
i'm a dude who yells into a camera
i don't need
i think there is no culture for repair
not anymore i believe people like you
can build a new generation on it and
people just have to find it interesting
so you just got to find it you have to
find creative ways to get people excited
about it
holding up well falcone
i have to drive that thing to florida on
uh thursday
i'm actually going to be driving down to
florida on thursday
be there
should i buy a new hard drive or stop
downloading porn
go through your collection it's probably
a bunch of stuff that you downloaded
that you thought was cool in the moment
but that was actually really low quality
and just kind of purge it
do a purge
only keep the best of it
been five days since i drank her smoke
feeling good and proud oh very cool lurk
what's more important parts of
schematics i'm not answering stuff like
that
and technically parts because without a
part the schematic doesn't no because
then yeah because you have donors but
yeah donor counts as a part though
doesn't it
yeah i'm sorry yeah silly question
what kind of plastic is that cover made
from free-range plastic
free-range plastic
are there not other rights in peril
ah that is the fallacy of until you
solve every other problem in the world
you can't focus on the one that
that you want to focus on yes definitely
oh sweet mercy
that's like the person in the room that
says i can't believe you're focusing on
the fact that rape is a bad thing when
there are people out there getting
murdered
i just i i always there's something
despicable about when people
will say why do you focus on this issue
when there is also another issue
speaking of an issue oreo get out of
there oreo
shoe oreo
that's how you're supposed to go
what should we made available first
schematics board level components or
trips or something else
i think the schematic is the easiest one
to make available because it's the
lowest cost
i mean it's really really the cost of
hosting a pdf file and you only have to
host it for a short period before it
winds up getting
hosted everywhere else
board level components and chips is
going to be difficult but again you're
the manufacturer is not going to be the
one that's making those available all i
would ask of them is to tell the company
that makes that ship that you're allowed
to sell to somebody else
yes i'm aware shark that there are other
that there's more than one problem in
the world obviously
in my opinion consumer freedom was way
better 50 years ago than is now we
should strive to win we took for granted
then
how so person whose name is impossible
to read
plastic cover does not protect against
cat fur
it protects against the cat jumping on
the table and knocking the microscope
off the desk
which
mr clinton likes to do
little [ __ ]
let's see
how long do you think it would take for
other states to pass right to repair
after a state passes it
i don't know i mean you have a right to
a parallel that got passed in
massachusetts but even though that got
past 10 years ago you don't see any
other states that have done it rather
you just kind of have this understanding
within the industry that they're not
that they're going to produce vehicles
that are in compliance with the
massachusetts right to repair law from
2012.
i don't eat burger's dream next gen
because a burger has a bun and a bun is
bread and i don't eat bread anymore
i don't repair graphics cards person who
has no youtube name so i don't really
know how to why do people have dumb
youtube names like you you don't even
have a name you literally just have a
bunch of underscores
i'm going to stop answering questions
that the person's name is stupid
let's see
i'm betting over there people don't have
lobbyists to go into their congress to
fearmonger
where's over there
microsd card on your phone did every one
of those flash cards die not in my phone
use cloud services for your private
pictures and videos
no
do you have any amateur repair channels
you find entertaining
i haven't seen how much much repair on
youtube
there's this one guy who fixes
televisions but i forgot the name it
starts with a c
samsung is turning into an apple copycat
i hope there's going to be a roster
repair group for crack samsung devices
too i mean the problem there cheatly is
that the parts are insanely expensive so
a lot of the customers wind up calling
you a rip-off and saying i can't believe
this that and the other so it's just
it's not something
like i
it's not something that we do because
there's not a lot of profit in it but
particularly the not only is there not a
lot of profit in it but all the people
who called and think that your goal is
to rip them off and it winds up being a
really bad experience
for the person answering the phone and
also for you because you're doing a
repair with a really low profit margin
also think of it if you're doing a
repair like the screen is 20 bucks and
the repair is 80. if they break it again
and they say it broke on its own bloody
bloody blah you could go back and forth
all day but there's some room there to
be able to help them because the 20 part
80 repair
but when the screen is like 300 bucks
and the phone is worth 320 on the user
market there's really not a lot of
wiggle room there
i just answered your questions
additionalist
that's not fair
you asked the question and i answered it
oh that's not fair
yeah
but seriously i did a college
presentation in your business and fight
for right to repair had a room of
normally uninterested college kids
eating out of my hands keep a good fight
people care about this stuff that's
that's my main uh
my main goal yeah shane goes six six
that's the one he does some old
television repair i find it very
interesting even though i'm never gonna
do that
but yeah that my my hope is to get the
next generation involved and excited
because the next generation are going to
be the people that start the new
companies that wind up producing devices
that are repairable or the people that
once they start working at these
companies are going to look and go okay
do we really need to keep people from
being able to buy this chip or like is
the releasing of this pdf really going
to kill us like the next generation and
mass all coming in and realizing that
the way thing it's kind of like with
marijuana you know like when the next
generation of district attorneys come in
the kid you know the district attorneys
that grew up with people in high school
that were high all the time that were at
work where you know would be smoking a
joint in the stairwell or something they
like they know their friends weren't all
horrible criminals so when they have
five cases on their desk and they only
have time for four and one of those
cases is a dude who sold a dime back to
somebody it's just going to end up going
in a paper shredder like that's
how change happens
oh they [ __ ] youtube names i read you i
i still mispronounce your name it's been
four years of mispronouncing your names
traditionalist
i still don't know how to say that
i probably never will
i also did a college presentation very
cool i did a presentation on write to
repair and people still don't care
that's because you don't have a name
that makes any sense your name is just a
bunch of backwards
ends i don't know how to read that
but another it's kind of this reminds me
of that bill birskin anybody ever see
that bill birsket where he says
something along the lines of um
he's like arnold schwarzenegger comes to
america becomes famous for lifting
weights i left weights nobody gives a
[ __ ]
billboard is amazing
he is by far the one of the best
comedians on earth
i like uh i like george carlin but he's
a little too nihilistic to me how do i
understand board repair
you watch the 600 plus board repair
videos in this channel after watching
the introduction of electronics playlist
basic electronics playlist after reading
through the 150 page guide that is in
the description of this video
what do you think of right to own i
don't know what that means
i think inflation keeps up the interest
in fixings is much higher since
replacement will be notably higher than
repair ah but see this is the thing
inflation is really it's it's mo it's
not affecting this type of stuff like
look at the price of a smartphone you
know like can you still buy you could
still buy a moto g for under 200 bucks
you could still buy a macbook for like a
thousand uh when you look at the price
of a lot of technology
that's not what's going the prices are
going up on things like housing rent
food
the prices are not going up in stuff
like this so here's the way this works a
macbook cost a thousand bucks right so i
can only charge a percentage of what
that macbook costs to fix it now
if all of my employees have their costs
going up yet the products still cost the
same amount to buy at apple i can't
raise the price of my services anymore i
can't raise the price of my services i
can pay them more money i can't pay them
more money they quit they quit no more
business so if anything if tech prices
do not inflate while everything else is
inflating this could actually wind up
hurting repair because it means that
repair will be less viable and again
still as long as the baseline price for
a laptop for a smartphone for
many other types of devices that we use
doesn't go up
but the price of all the other goods and
services that we use go up that could i
mean it could actually wind up being a
headwind for repairing not a tailwind
it's right to own the opposite of the
subscription business model
that could be but i wanted him to expand
a little bit on it hattie i imagine it
means the right to own means just not
this constant subscribe to everything
thing
i like final fantasy nine that game
narelle
neraldan is a i think it's a thesis
against nihilism in the best way
how does inflation not affect apple you
have to ask tim cook but i don't see a
macbook going up in price anywhere
teemo uh yeah this chord is here
yeah i posted a link for you teema timo
tima timo
you being schwarzenegger's housemate
though hell no
i cuz i i googled it just to see okay
let's like he cheated on his wife it's
not right but let's see who he cheated
with him
whatever
it made him happy that's all that
matters
made him happy
what's wrong with nihilism everything
the idea that there is no point to
anything is tends to be
congruent with people that don't strive
for anything don't try to
build anything become the best at
anything
produce anything and that tends to also
be
walk alongside people being massively
unhappy
yeah like not caring to change anything
it's just
there's so many things that you that a
should be changed b are worth trying to
change c would make you happy to be a
part of changing
seems like ownership is being
discouraged and sharing renting is being
encouraged and software services like
cloud but also physical things like cars
or homes yeah that's one of the reasons
like with stuff like some of the
software that i use um
what like for instance i use a piece of
software called repair shopper which is
really cool but it has a monthly fee and
the owner uh troy amazing dude a very
good programmer like to use uh
he like you know he would just be very
responsive to a lot of the issues that
we had the company just got sold so now
and now i'm seeing the responsiveness
that we get from that company after it's
been sold and now i'm kind of wondering
okay well why am i paying a monthly fee
for this anymore because like before i
could bother the owner he would add
features you know make it you know i
would get a certain level of support
from it and now
yeah like you respond to my ticket over
a week late you know maybe i'll find it
doesn't really make sense anymore
lewis repairing a device is not purely
an economic decision i'll pay a premium
to refurbish the device i'm comfortable
with to avoid learning something new and
even a greater premium for data recovery
repair yeah data recovery was always
going to be in demand because people
will never stop being careless with data
including me
and when it comes to refurbishing a
device you're comfortable with that's
weird because like i i try to push
people away from it because when you
tell somebody it's going to cost 200 to
fix something that costs 150
their immediate assumption even if they
don't say it in the moment is he just
tried to rip me off because that device
is 150 dollars he tried to charge me
200. they walk out the door leaving a
one-star yelp review so this is
literally part of our training manual
here because i've had enough experience
with this in here and other repair shops
where you need to open with just so you
know you shouldn't fix this because the
part the cost to replace this is less
than the cost of buying another one
also it's not even about learning
something new it's if you can buy that
device on the user marketplace for less
than what the repair costs
i think it's always an yeah you know
what i'll say outside of sentimental
value in my opinion it's always an
economic decision outside of sentimental
value if you have a device that's worth
that you can buy for 150
on an online store and have delivered to
you in two days
and you're paying 200 to fix it that's
never going to make any sense
uh
you think you could somehow convince
player white to promote right to repair
even if just a virtue signal diversity a
bit or even just for the meme what's a
blair white
i don't know who that is
i don't think let's see
data recovery services will always have
a role in the computer repair market
because humans have consistently shown
that despite many different technologies
to back up data people will fail to do
it
true
when will cars be subscriptions give it
time
give it time
i genuinely hate how everything is
moving to a subscription-based model i
generally can't think of a single
instance where i receive better service
support or a good justification for
having to pay more
okay i'm out of here i went over the
article if i find another article that i
find worth going over i will make
another video
uh i linked that discord down below so
if anybody is interested
in
pointing me to more of these articles
covering why right to repair is bad or
horrible or probably something that you
shouldn't bother with and all this other
[ __ ] just because apple's program sucks
uh please feel free to post them if you
find them interesting along with some
comments and sorry i answer that
question five times a day i give up i
give up you win you win
i'll
