Point 2 is incredibly frustrating. That the ewaste problem has become so much better understood and yet the trend is to keep creating more of it.
I think Pine64 is making Bluetooth earbuds, but like their other stuff it aims to be super hackable and fixable. Wish that was the norm instead of solvent welding.
Tell this to apple. They're incredibly frustrating to replace yourself, if you even do so.
Absolutely. I've seen plenty of devices where self-repair was an "eh" afterthought at best.
Apple offensively attacks your attempts to fix the thing you purchased yourself with your own hard-earned money. They're positively evil.
Which is why it's so annoying watching all the other mainstream companies feel compelled to just ape them in every way.
