I want @EUCommission & @BMWK to #ban #AntiRepairDesign as pioneered and rolled out by #Apple and copied by a lot of others!

• Espechally ban #SolderedDownStorage & #SolderedDownRAM as well as #GluedInBatteries and #PartsPairing as well as #iCloudLock because all these tactics solely exist to prevent #Repair and thus #Reuse and being an active generation of 100% avoidable #eWaste to the point that this needs to be prosecuted as #EnvoirmentalCrime by the sheer tonnage of #Waste that is being generated by Apple!

Anything else is undue #Leniency against any #GAFAMs that build #unrepairable #electronics!

@andreas_heitmann @arstechnica It's just that they constantly #engineer shit to have a #ReducedLifecycle and be purposefully #unrepairable!

@ireneista precisely

Also #Apple doesn't actually #sell you shit, because you ain't in #control aka. actually #own the #unrepairable #eWaste they sell you and not only can but will remotely #brick whenever they feel like it.

#Apple's #VirtueSignalling about #Envoirmentalism falls complete on it's face when they purposefully design their products to be #unrepairable and inevitably fail over time!

#Repairability, #UseLonger and #Upsycling are inherently better than anything else!

Behold; the latest addition to my expensive paperweight collection - my Canon 100-400mm L zoom lens.
This was my go-to lens for wildlife but, due to “lack of spare parts”, it has been deemed “unrepairable” by Canon.
Aside from a small internal wire, it’s still an excellent lens.
I’m quite sure Canon could find some aperture ribbon cables for these lenses but I suspect they just couldn’t be bothered.
It’ll be Sigma for me next time.
What a waste 😖

@csepp Also #Apple does purposefully make their devices #unrepairable by restricting #suppliers:

@bryansmart @jgoerzen Products are purposefully designed to be #unmaintainable and #unrepairable and #TechIlliterates roll with it because they believe it's a fact of life.

That shit can't be designed to be fixable and secure and stable and reliable...

OFC we've to nudge users into the better options, like @frameworkcomputer & @ubuntu ...

@EU_Commission problem is thar #Switch #controllers are designed to be #unrepairable.

Don't believe me? Ask @fuchsiii or amyone who ever opened them.

They are purposefully designed to be unrepairable!!!

#LouisRossmann is right:

I don't get why people want to have #unrepairable devices...

Because devices don't need to be #THICC|er to be #repairable!

Seriously...
