i don’t believe corporations, but at least they are saying it i guess?

wow i’m so surprised the burgeois state is just their business desk!

the us has always been like this.

the monroe doctrine and overt colonialism have only been revived.

still using many non-standard and proprietary parts though, like most laptops. far from ideal still.

i’m not surprised, only disappointed.

i literally just told you.

you seem to have answered your own question.

if i can’t cheaply repair an old board, or source parts, it’s not repairable.

upgrading is part of what makes old computers still usable.

no because not enough people died just yet

patrick had a bad day

exactly this except acetone instead of isopropyl. i find it much more effective.

it would not be called vodka if you made it from something else

this is literally the first time i hear abuot this game 😂

lip service 🫦

europe and russia are major powers i reckon?

depends on what you need repaired. and upgrades are a big no too.

yeah, it’s nice in that context.

in fact, it’s something that could have been a thing for a while, they had phones doing this in 2012ish.

android is pretty locked down, and being locked down further this year to allow only google-sanctioned software. following this trend will see actually unlocked and repairable computers replaced by locked phones. pixels are better than average but not available everywhere.

are the ifixit guides gonna help me replace the busted storage chip that renders my phone unbootable? i can just replace it for cheap on my laptop.

I guess?

Enabling people to minimize the number of devices they need

this is literally the biggest issue here. relying on a country that doles out sanctions and bombings like it’s parking tickets.

and increasing reliance on google and the aforementioned empire for underpowered computing is not a positive at all.

i wonder why hybrids catch fire at apparently twice the rate

they wouldn’t see consequences for the epstein stuff at all anyway
