Lobbyists later said that Apple would endorse repair programs at local colleges if the bill was dropped.

Sure, first crapple designs a smartphone with 100500 different custom screws and a fair amount of concrete instead of glue (not even speaking about pairing parts), and then "endorse" teaching what can otherwise be performed by a monkey given the equipment (not necessary for lots of other phones, mind you) and manuals. Sb should require those politicians to know what they're fucking speaking about before making moronic decisions.

Although, I'm wondering why'd Google do shit like that given they don't pair parts, and allow users to re-calibrate stuff like fingerprint sensors under the display, and allow firmware modification with no strings attached. Mb asking for schematics was too much for them?
