Halfway through he describes this as malicious compliance with the "right to repair" law. Apple and others are making a mockery of the law.

I guess that's one way to make people give up cars in favor of public transportation.

You must not be american. It is literally not an option here.

Please accept my most sincere condolences.

I guess it's great advice if you live in New York or Disney World. I have a forty minute walk to the nearest bus stop and depending on where I want to go in town and how many transfers it takes, it might take me 2 hours to get somewhere in my mid-side town.

Meanwhile, I can reach anywhere in town in twenty minutes by car, and I can carry $800 of groceries in my trunk. And I don't freeze my ass off in the snow.

...And the cost of that convenience is now $2000 and a bunch of spyware.

that's just sad. I have about 4 bus stops within a 5 minute walk. a bus transfer station (with maybe 30 different routes) 10 mins away, and a train station also 10 mins away. I feel bad for americans having to rely on a car :/

You stop at a bus stop here and youre getting stabbed or robbed. They're very unsafe.

Why would they be American?

Making them unaffordable for the majority by jacking up car insurance prices, seems like a super efficient strategy.
