adayunwired:proctain:thivus:dopeluminarydreamer:the-future-now: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-nowReblog if you:Have an iPhone and are in need of repairsHave a friend with that problemHate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some wayNo one will know which is ithe is currently fighting a legal battle with apple because they got the DHS to seize a shipment of batteries he ordered from China he needed to fix 2008 macs that apple refuses to service on the grounds of them being “vintage” but also don’t want ppl like rossman to be allowed repair them eitherHe is also sponsoring a bill to enshrin in law the right to repair. Apple is also likely to face charges for false copyright and false patient claims if their DHS infringement goes to trial. They are current petitioning the court to block Louis Rossman from having the ability to legally defend himself or present counter evidence. You know a complete violation of the US Constitution.Worse yet the CA judge is entertaining the request and there by dragging the trial out by months when it is illegal for the request to even be made.Let me repeat that for ya:Apple is trying to fight a persons right to repair their own property, and are in legal battle with a man who makes a living helping people repair their own property. Apple does not want you to be able to repair your own stuff when it break or hire someone else to repair your own stuff when it breaks. -- source link
