But it's also about the MacBook – the series sold 10 years ago had replaceable HDDs and memory units, I upgraded the disk twice in the lifetime and fixed the disk cable three of four times (they had a funny design so that you had to break the cable several times to fit its place neatly). The current laptops are sold with every component glued/soldered to place, and this is getting a trend everywhere. It probably started with phone batteries: my first phone (Ericson GA628 with an exchangeable front panel!) had a battery you could replace in two seconds, now even 2500-3000EUR laptops are considered single-use throwaway items, it's insane.

Think about the ecological waste of these things going into the landfill when they could last 2-3x longer if they were just designed a bit better.

I can't believe he worked on that used device.... That was so gross 🤮🤮🤮

Didn't he prove it's easy to repair? What exactly is the subscription?

There isn't any "smart" device technology involved. It's a simple analog design. Off the shelf batteries and a motor. No special tools required. The only problem with the design is a liquid resistant seal.
