@ the-future-now-deactivated20170 Apple, you can hide all the schematics you want. You .can hide the board views\ You can hide the data sheets So that I have to go out of my way to figure hout how eve You can hide the diagnostic software You can hide the diagnostic tools. You an hide it behind dumbass error codes your website that make no f***ing sense. And you can'do all of this all day to keep people from repairing your products and I will sit here every single day filming a new ,video,walking through'exactly how to'get around all of your bullshit And ill sit here to repair .every single one of, these'things that you have deomed unrepairabietine And hundreds upon thousands of people every month'are going to tune into'this free channel and figure out how to fix your crap. So for every single little bit of effort you put in to'making these products difficult to will put in an'equal or greater amount of effort into making them easier to repair for people all around the world. you.,. That's Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That's because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change. Follow @the-future-now ry! Reblog if you: Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs Have friend with that problem spite them in some way No one will know which is it rs weasowl Hate Apple and are more than happy to This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that lam not... like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I'm not even exaggerating. So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy's video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all "oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM" and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard. So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no. These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they'll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it's a pretty clear "fuck you" to anyone trying to do repairs. anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect Source: - iFunny
