@agatha they certainly.made it 20% less #repairable because #Apple is #AntiRepairDesign and #AntiRepair in general…

@iFixit #Apple is not just #AntiRepair, but actively #AntiRefurbisher and #AntiReuse with their weaponization of #iCloudLock which allows anyone with the knowledge of an #IMEI or #MAC or #SerialNumber to remotely #brick any #Apple device via #iCloud.

@GeoffWozniak @cyberpunklibrarian And that "#ThrowawayCulture" really disgusts me personally, because it's going completely against my grain.

The problem is that #AntiRepairDesign like that spearheaded by #Apple is being allowed to exist, when it has no legitimate reason to exist!

@dw_innovation and that's also added by #AntiRepairDesign by all the #GAFAMs that do imacceptable stuff like #SolderedDownStorage, #SolderedDownRAM, #GluedInBatteries and #RivetedKeyboards that have no reason to exist except fleecing customers by overcharging them for more #Szorage & #RAM as well as enshuring #Repairability is twarted below cost-effective.

And don't even get me started on #MamfacturedEwaste like #AI #Chips and #ASIC|s for #Shitcoins like #Bitcoin which are inherently #unsustainable and unlike #CPU|s, #GPU|s and other #UsedHardware not really #refurbishable and #recycle-able or even #upcycle-able beyond being "the most complex, noisy and inefficient space heaters possible"...

@lauren not to mention #Apple chooses to purposefully weaponize #DRM as part of their #AntiRepairDesign efforts.

@quincy und damit meine ich nicht nur #CRU's & #FRU's wie bei #Lenovo #ThinkPad, #Fairphone und @frameworkcomputer sondern im Zweifelsfalle alle Bauteile...

Proprietärer Mist alla #ISL9240 z.B. muss frei verkäuflich sein egal für wen.

#Apple's #AntiRepair - Feigenblätter & #DRM auf Ersatzteile sind eine Beleidigung für Endnutzer ubd gehören als #Umweltverbrechen verfolgt!

@TwraSun naja, ich kaufe kein #iPhone weil voller #Govware und #AntiRepair...

Genauso bei #Neuwagen bzw. alles nach 2016...

Und die meisten #Elektroautos sind halt #AntiRepairDesign!

@frumble gibt mehrere Gründe:

Wenn überhaupt würd' ich nen #Unicomp #Performa, #ModelM13 oder nen #TexShinobi kaufen weil #Lenovo hat die kabelgebundene Version des "Compact Keyboard with UltraNav" eingestampft und durch eine 3x so teure dahtlos-only - Variante ersetzt die keinen Vorteil gegenüber der vorherigen hat.

Seriously, #Apple preventing people and businesses from #refurbishing should be illegal!

youtube.com/watch?v=wfwy-y5rCo

And I sincerely hope both @EU_Commission and @Bundesverband will actively go after manufacturers that want to deny people their freedom to actually own their devices as per "1st sale doctrine".

Like it's none of Apple's business if someone chose to get a #refurbished display unless they want to fraudulently sell it as a new device and not a replacement - but that's already covered with fraud.

@RayuDW Yeah...

IMHO, #GluedInBattieries that are not #ToolfreeSwappable, #SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownFlash should be outlawed.

There's no legitimate reason to put #design and #AntiRepair before #Repairability - certainly not with #consumer hardware that isn't #ATEX-certified nor expected to retain water-tightness at 50m depth after being shot at with a .357 Maximum...

@glassjellyfish @miah @nano

If you can point me to something that isn't run by #AntiRepair assholes [i.e. #Apple], #PRISM & #CloudAct collaborators [i.e. all the #GAFAMs], greedy corporations [ #RedHat ] and just works for #TechIlliterates just as for #Sysadmins [unlike #SUSE] then please let me know.

Being able to get commercial support by the maintainers is a non-negotiable must-have!

@cameronbosch @vwbusguy only worse are people who defend #Apple's #AntiRepair and #ReducedLifecycle shite like #iCloud - #Locking ....

Seriously, regulators like @EU_Commission need to force #Apple to undo that shite!

(1/2) Looking for other hashtags about this - apologies for the noise (I'll write some hashtags as hashtags in the hope someone has suggestions). So far I've seen: a lot of posts use #Newag; frequent mentions of #RightToRepair and #DRM. Some have #AntiRepair, #AntiCompetition #Sabotage. One has #IndustrialSabotageInPoland. This has been called #NewagGate and #TrainGate (but these two don't have many posts (yet?)). #Ransomware was used but not #trainsomware (it's a good one, @alsorew!).

Also a dick move to be the #AntiRepair company and sue a #competitior who isn't a total asshole.

@metacurity TBH, this #AntiRepair #malware should be penalized by authorities as the #sabotage if not #terrorism plot against #CriticalInfrastructure (which #Railways & #PublicTransport are!) it really is...

Anything else would be undue leniency towards #Enshittification and tge fact that this literally #bricket #trains!
