>I stared at the dark screen. The device was still on, but stuck somewhere between living technology and a dead iPhone. Tracey said that the device made a popping sound and got really hot in one corner while she was making a phone call. Then, her screen cracked, and burnt her ear. She wanted to know what to do. She explained the incident happened shortly after having third-party iPhone screen repair company iCracked replace her shattered iPhone 6 screen. iCracked was ready to let the original technician repair her phone again. I warned her against it. The phone was obviously dangerous---and letting them touch it again probably wouldn’t help. In fact, I thought it might hurt.

>I was reminded of this episode as I read about Nebraska, the latest state to consider new Right-to-Repair legislation. If the legislation passes, it'd require Apple, Samsung, and other electronics manufacturers to supply parts and detailed repair manuals to everyone, including repair shops, and average consumers. And there are several legislative efforts like it underway around the country.

>Right-to-Repair? What a ridiculous thing to say. No one has the right to repair anything. You might have the skill to repair something (something that iCracked tech might've lacked). And you can hand people all the schematics, instructions, and parts you want and they still won’t be able to replace an iPhone battery or screen.

>I’m also a tinkerer. I’ve taken apart everything from VCRs to BlackBerry Curve phones and their classic scroll buttons.

Woah this guy pried out a stuck VHS tape once or twice and took the scroll wheel off his blackberry phone without losing it. This guy clearly has what it takes to be described as a tech expert by dozens of notable publications.

>hurrr le impenetrable monadic iphone can't be repaired

Fuck these despondent soyim. It's goddamn technology, not magic. It's made of pieces that interact in a logical way.

Apple are assholes about specs and tools, sure, that's what the R2R bills are trying to remedy.

There is nothing otherworldly or mystic about Apple devices, other than the otherwordly-high amount of aversion and paranoia Apple harbors for uncertified repairs.

>you can hand people all the schematics, instructions, and parts you want and they still won’t be able to replace an iPhone battery or screen.

Most people are literally subhuman and lack cognition, no shit, who gives a fuck. Dumb fuck boomers want to take their iPhone to get all fucked to pieces by some pooinloo, more power to them. The chinks and streetshitters are gonna keep on raping phones no matter what, like they already do. R2R is about enabling competent independent technicians to operate without being choked out by certification costs and chinkthink.

>Soon as you open that phone, you can probably kiss any real waterproofing you might've had goodbye.

that's what reapplying adhesive sealant is for, you stupid fag, you dumb fuck, you absolute know-nothing retard, you dribble of dirty blogging nigger cum sliding down the asshole of the hell-world we live in

>Consumers will wander in with broken iPhone and Samsung Galaxy screens, and walk out with all the parts and tools they need to repair them. And they will fail, miserably.

___ Mindset: We should forbid anyone from doing X because most people can't currently do X. Simply epic.

I cannot overstate the depth of sneering contempt I have for the author and the drawn-out, faggoty whine that is his article. I'm probably going to spend the rest of my day suppressing intrusively violent thoughts about all the graphic and warranted things I would do to his body given the chance in Minecraft.
