Louis Rossmann is a guy running Rossmann Repair Group in NYC and repairing Apple products and often put out videos on Youtube how to repair the products. This is maybe illegal today "in the land of the free". He is one of the best at repairing Apple motherboards and he knows how Apple are 100% genuine ass holes.

Many years ago computers and other electronic hardware had included schematics on how to repair them but today everything is hidden and the big companies want people to be stupid consumers that dont know jack shit how to repair their products they (think) they own.

It is the same with todays cars. In the 1980 and 1990 most car mechanics could repair most cars but today with the proprietary software and closed solutions mechanics are forced to get expensive tools and computer accessories to be able to repair the cars.

The Right to Repair Bill that Louis Rossmann is talking about and talked with senators last year that enable people to repair their own hardware is in jeopardy. This isnt just about Apple products but ALL ELECTRONICS.

What Rossmann is talking about is the same as with free software. Companies want proprietary/closed solutions to be able to control the whole line to be able to "secure a good products quality" (Screw their customers).

Rossmann acting reminds me a bit of RMS but in the hardware area, not giving up but trying to stop a disaster from happening.

Right to Repair bill is in jeopardy | It's time to DO SOMETHING!!

Driving old cars could soon be illegal.

Parisians with cars built before 1997 are going to need to head to the nearest car dealership if they want to keep driving in the city after July 1.
