Funny how American capitalism went from championing interchangeable parts in the 18th century to shitting on it in the 21st century.

You guys are still buying Apple?

I wouldn’t buy Apple but I know some people buy Apple because they have the longest support window of all smartphone makers (even longer than Fairphone), according to YouTube vid lU4vv7qCQvg.

This is what I figured was going on when all those articles came out about Apple "changing its position" on right-to-repair. The politicians got to claim a victory, but Apple was in the details.
