@iFixit 1/10 due to:

• #AntiRepairDesign that unnecessarily complicates repairs and disassembly compared to any other #manufacturer (espechally #fairphone!).

• #DRM on #Parts aka. #PartsPairing, mandating a #malware [a literal #RAT = #RemoteAccessTrojan] to "complete repairs".

• no legal and feasible way to obtain parts (in advance) for a #RepairShop.

• no legal way to obtain parts without [self-] #doxxing [of clients by said repair shop].

• Even if one were willing to accept that, parts will be anti-competitively priced by #Apple to make it impossible for any #IndependentRepair to make sense unless the cost of mail-in and/or travel to the next #AppleStore outweights that.

@mrmasterkeyboard np.

• I thought the glare was excessive due to the lights, but then again I'm not gonna complain more about it. Noone expects you to have a fancy mattebox with turntable to make some professional product photo.

Also even if people don't have a donor to transplant a screen assembly from or don't feel comfortable fiddling with eDP cables they could just remove the screen and have a compact AiO Desktop.

• If it has like a "full function" #USBc port with #PowerDelivery than this can result in a sleek desktop that also looks good and doesn't require much space. Ideal if the battery is busted and a replacement isn't worth it! I've seen those in like #RepairShops where they basically setup some #MacbookPro that way as a DFU machine to reflash / reinstall other #Macs.

I think it's a necessity that we as #TechLiterates propagate the need to #UseLonger and the #RightToRepair as essential, given that #tech inherently is expensive in terms of #resources and that avoiding #eWaste and #Upcycling is an act of #EnvoirmentalProtection.

• Tho make shure to safely remove any "#DangerPillow|s" and handing it over to the relevant #recycling provider(s)...

If I had the necessary €€€€€ I'd literally start my own "#upcycling" #business, even employ some folks collecting all the #surplus'd #Windows10 machines and just cleaning, wiping, repasting, fixing and selling them as cheap #used #PC|s for those that kinda need something to do their casual "#office", #LightGaming and #MediaConsumption.

• I mean people are surprised how zippy even old hardware can be with just few tweaks (more RAM, a fresh SSD, cleaning it of dust bunnies and repasting the cooler with some quality (longlife #ThermalPaste, like #ArcticMX4) "#ThermalGrease" (that costs like €1/g in a 20g syringe and a #RepairShop can easily go through one in a shift)...
