I had a 2011 MacBook Air with a dead WiFi card.
Apple Genius quoted 649$ in parts and labor.
Louis Rossmann quoted 90$ parts & free labor.
This is real folks and it will affect us all if we don’t help him stop it.
Oof
Yeah Samsung quoted 70$ without shipping to repair or replace my s7 battery. A local shop charged 13.50$ for it.
The point is, if you are in shengzheng, you probably can fix it with maybe $10 parts and $20 labor, or if you are in other cities of China you can fix it with $10 parts + maybe $5 shipping, and fix it with some online guide by yourself
i also dont understand the ppl who throw out old phones/laptops even if they have space to store them
like why, u can reuse the battery, screens, fans, lights, etc.etc.
reuse reuse reuse
@@fz8691 you can directly buy official samsung parts on their website. For 13.50$, it was probably a non genuine battery, that may have more risks of failure
Imagine having to buy a new car after your doorhandle broke. Epic.
It would be more like, you would need to go to a brand certified garage and pay around half the cost of the total car to get it fixed. And when you do get it fixed, the fix will cause the car to be unavailable to you for 4 weeks and when you get the car back, anything you left in the car (like childseats, sunglasses etc ) is gone
@@dalyxia this perfectly sums up exactly how Apple handles it's repairs.
EXACTLY
@Dragos where tf u getting ur car fixed to have that happen
@@stevenr3544 bruh, it's a metaphor for how Apple handleds its repairs.
Right to Repair is the only thing I can think of that's bringing together everyone from gamers to farmers.
I totally agree! It should concern everyone because right to repair involves needless waste of goods that are perfectly operable, IF goods were designed to be repaired we wouldn't waste as much. It is an environmental no-brainer as much as it is a social issue. It should concern everyone, because it does involve everyone.
Exactly. Right to repair is for everyone and everyone should be interested!

@@everythingtractors9332 hi WD
@@isthatasupra9569 How Did U Find Me?
I wish Amazon would let me filter by a "repairability score" so I can find items that were designed to be repaired.
That would be extremely hard for amazon to implement unless they allowed companies to self submit their score which would certainly lead to lying.
@@austinblackburn8095 This directly conflicts with the interest of amazon, but if they where to do it. I would assume they would partner with someone like iFixIt
I think ifixit does something similar, like they have repairability ratings.
Maybe what we need is a website like rotten tomatoes to rate electronics repairability
Amazon makes some of the least repairable devices ever, their kindle tablets are all soldered and it is almost impossible to get spare parts for them. Amazon would not add a score in
This is a topic that really needs mainstream attention, thank you Linus for covering it.

@@Truecrimeresearcher224 There are videos, where people take the screen of two brand new iPhone 12's and simply swap them and they still get that message.
It is just a software pairing where your phone says: "I was first turned on with the screen with ID XYZABC and if I get turned on with anything else I will display that error message.
And only Apple and their partners have the tools to reset it.
Thanks Linus.
My parents finally sold their farm (and retired) a couple years ago. They donated their Ford 9N tractor to another farm down the street.

Imagine if we could easily replace the batteries on our phones. They would last so much longer!
Yeah but this is largely due to dumb consumers. Samsung for the longest time was doing everything right; replaceable batteries, sd card support, and much easier to repair, but apple kept outselling them so they just said “fuck it, if you can’t beat em, join em”
@@MrShitthead Still have the headphone jack so that's something
@@cmeier360 idk buddy, they removed it on their latest phones
I have an older samsung device and I love it, replaceable battery, sd card, almost indestructibe. Only downside is that it has a crappy camera, but it was 120 (bought it for 60) bucks after all. Not bad.
@@MrMoon-hy6pn Not all of them. You can get their mid rangers like the A72 which still rocks the headphone jack and SD card support upto 1TB and you won't be disappointed with the screen and camera as well.

As a tinkerer and a car guy I couldn’t be more passionate about this sort of thing. Thanks Linus!
Amazing job Linus, we need more of this
Yes sir. Let's start setting legal precedents! I just donated!.
This is a huge problem in the farming industry. Companies like John Deere will not allow people to tune their equipment in any way. You aren't even supposed to be able to access their software in the equipment. This makes doing repairs on your own extremely difficult.
I feel you brother, as a guy who works for a chain I see people bring in good hardware for recycle on a weekly basis. Luckily for me I can't find anything in our rules that forbids me from buying stuff off our customers and my manager doesn't seem to care, so I have and do, when possible. I get to save things from the grinder and sell cheap computers back to my community, sure I still make a profit I'm not going to act like it's all charity work or anything, but it's more beneficial to those that buy my machines and those I buy them from so I'll take the W where I can.
Sometimes I wonder what kind of person recycles even a 4th gen i5 much less an 8th gen one...
More like thanks Louis Rossmann Linus is just jumping on the train to get some views
The biggest joke in the phone industry is: "We're removing features and basic things to reduce our waste." while simultaneously doing the opposite and putting the problem onto the consumers instead.
On top of that: for example Samsung is skipping one of its flagships this year saying it is because of silicon shortage. Prices are skyrocketing because of this shortage while consumers throw away tons of used silicon because it got slow and laggy after the latest software update which is part of planned obsolescence or they just don't want to repair it because even local small shops are having trouble getting parts and repairing. And why would you pay a fortune just to get a few more laggy years? This makes my blood boil whenever it crosses my mind...
@@fenvesik It's a total joke the "shortage" came up "unexpectedly" like this. They seriously thought they keep binning tons of electronics and resources for new stuff will just appear out of thing air indefinitely?

As someone that worked in the automotive industry and specifically in electronics I've seen this for years. They tried to make it a dmca violation if you accessed the vehicles onboard computer. They wanted to make sure you had to go back to the manufacture for repairs, and ESPECIALLY parts.
It always hurts me so much when I find out what is going on behind the scenes.

Please include "Right to Repair" in the title as a way for people to find this video when they are researching the topic !
UA-cam indexes this automatically based on keywords already, no need for lengthening it
i agree. i am subscribed to both LTT and Louis Rossman and even though this came out first, i came from Louis' video thanking Linus. I stupidly skipped this just because of its title lol
@@bruh-co8nf but a more obvious title would make sure people researching the topic consider this as valuable information.
To be honest, i would assume the search algorithm had goofed up if i saw a vide called "we need action" when i'm searching for right to repair
Just #RightToRepair at the end of the actual title would be great
ltt is all clickbait titles absent of any information whatsoever and they'll never change
Brought HP x360 Envy with touchscreen for $1500 NZD. Screen got cracked and was quoted ~$1300 NZD from official HP repair in this country.
Was advised the screen panel alone was not replaceable as HP now only supplied replacements of the whole screen assembly (incl cameras, antenna and casing) as a completed unit.
Went to AliExpress, found and brought the EXACT screen panel and it was shipped to New Zealand DURING COVID LOCKDOWN in both China and NZ within a week...for ~$300 NZD (cost & Freight) and replaced it myself.
I have worked in IT for 30 odd years and see more and more of this wastage happening each year which frustrates the hell out of me.
We need more of these right to repair initiatives around the world to kick off and go to our respective lawmakers!!!
Fixing stuff is an essential skill always, it's when we learn how things actually work and how to use tools, It's not a video, it's a skill gained through PRACTICE. Fixing stuff is how we get ourselves out of trouble, etc. It really helps to have a schematic when working on electronic stuff no? and everything is becoming more electronic, we will need to have schematics fosho.
this is such a hugely important issue that isn't brought to attention enough, thank you LMG for putting this video together

He didn't mention it in the video, but I think it is important to push Linux as a home user OS for older computers. I bet many people throw away perfectly functional machines that are too outdated for windows 10 but can still rock for years using Lubuntu for instance and maybe a cheap SSD upgrade.
my old desktop takes longer to shutdown on Windows 10 than it takes to boot Lubuntu lol
@@srpenguinbr Unfortunately people also have this idea that because Windows 10 is the latest version of Windows they have to have it. Security issues, blah, blah, aside... people simply don't understand that you don't have to use the latest or what's already installed on a shop bought system.
@@FlyboyHelosim well I updated from 7 to 10 pro due to the security concerns, because my dad uses it for tax declaration, but I have windows 7 DVDs on my drawer just in case. I think it's a pity I cannot transfer the OS license to another computer.

Everytime I see this topic about right to repair it reminds me of the children’s movie “Robots”. “Why upgrade when people can just repair?” “We’re gonna stop selling parts!”
My washing machine is a Gorenje Noblesse 1112. It still works perfectly well. All i do is replace bearings and the motor brushes after i took it upon myself to repair it after the last time i had it serviced, and found out they intentionally put an inferior product so it would get broken and offered me a "deal" to take my "junk" machine and cut me a cost on a new "better" one.
Figure that you're paying the same price for all plastic machines, where as old ones are still cast iron, stainless steel, and heavy duty motor. I'll never get rid of it, nor let stealerships touch it anymore, i bought parts for it 10 years ago, and i'm still running.

Right to repair shouldn’t even be a discussion, sad. Cheers Linus.
Exactly
Yeah greetings from the eu
The times people say something shouldn't be a discussion are oftentimes the exact moment we need a discussion. This is one of those times. Adding legislation doesn't solve a problem government itself has caused. *Removing* intellectual property *legislation* is a far more legitimate solution than *adding* more legislation to only increase the advantage large tech manufacturers have over smaller companies (via having more legal resources to ensure comolainace with the law).
And just think about it like this farmers have been trying to get this passed ever since John deer switched over to more complex tractors. Farmers end up spending an arm and a leg for a repair and part that honestly isn't needed. Plus it slows down efficiency
Try replacing the screen/rear glass on a iphone X/11/12, The screen/rear is fucking glued and needs to be heated/lasered off just to replace the digitizer/lcd/rear glass. Such a fucking scummy move, there's other ways to water seal phones.
So glad you are taking a stand on this. While this isn't the focus of your channel, I hope you will keep coming back to these issues every chance you have since it is so important.
This is one more reason why I as a guitar player still like my physical amps and effects over amp sims. I never need to be worried Marshall is gonna show up at my front door and try to install some piece of software into my DSL that prevents me from taking it to a shop if I need to get the tubes rebiased or something.
thank you for plugging Rossman like that, this is so important and i shouldn't be surprised Linus sees that.
As an independent repair technician, this video is exactly what I've been hoping for! Thank you, Linus!

This guy overcharges people for a living
@@greatvalue5566 you don't know how much he charges for a repair, get outa here
@@greatvalue5566 Yesterday I did an A1466 (MacBook Air 2015) logic board liquid damage repair, and I charged $100 after three hours of scrubbing off corrosion using 99.9% isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. I was able to repair it, otherwise I charge a $25 diagnostic fee. I believe my price is fair, considering other repair shops charge double and Apple charges like six times as much.
What a great summary of nearly all important info on the ways the electronic industry is producing waste. VERY good job.
Its always about reducing the lifecycle-time of devices.
I think one of the best ways to keep repairability is to ask all famous reviewers to actually discuss it in their review. Buyers depend on these reviewers on their decision-making and most of these reviewers focus too much on thinness and weight (the two things that actually make repairability almost invalid). I personally don't care if my laptop is 1 cm thicker if that means that I can repair it with third-party service center.
HP instruments (and IBM computers!) used to come with their full schematics. You can still repair the HP pre-1990 stuff today. Then one day, a late and valuable 1990’s instrument failed (from a complex power supply failure). No schematics, although the service manual refers to it by component number - the schematics had obviously been removed from the manual by the evil marketing folks. Call to HP/Agilent/Keysight: “Sorry, it’s too new, we stopped supporting component level repair at about that time, so no schematics”. Great. Can I buy the replacement supply then? “Sorry it’s too old, we don’t support assembly level repair for these anymore”. I fixed the darn thing (it’s still worth $10,000!) by reverse engineering it, but darn it, this isn’t the HP that Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started. Over to Louis’ fundraiser I go!
I've been watching your latest repair adventure, and there's no way an instrument like that should be discarded for any reason.
Similarly, old IBM Thinkpads were the last great mobile computing devices. It was all downhill from there.
I bought a cheap broken bench top multimeter couple years back from like the early 90s, pretty unknown brand.
Turned out the company still exists today and I wrote them a mail being sure I will get the standard reply ala "sorry we cant do that etc etc".
Got a reply and they actually send me the scanned copies as a pdf from both the complete service manual and schematics.
Was actually quite a bit wrong with it, power supply ic failed, multiple tantal caps in the analog circuitry were dead, a comparator ic died.
Due to the documents provided the diagnosis and repair was relatively quick, you dont see many companies providing that nowadays.
Though I have to applaud their support team, as far as I know their newer products also dont provide these documents anymore.
And just because you know the pin-outs of the chips doesn't mean you understand exactly how it works, or would be anywhere close to being able to reverse engineer the component. You just know enough to understand which parts you'd need to replace, if say, the video output signal was very dirty.
you're repair adventure has been very interesting, and has convinced me to make.proper documentation for all of my projects
If you want to explain it to the opposition, "imagine having to buy a new car if you get a flat tire"
their answers would be, "i like to have "robust conversation" with you behind closed door".
I would say it is more like if your windshield breaks but you are still correct.
If your battery in your car dies, then buy a new car.
If your light bulbs burn out...
If your radio stops working...
If your brakes are worn...
If your engine needs a tune-up...
If your alternator dies...
And so on.
@@nickpickerwi7787 Light-bulbs?
If we had almost eternal light-bulbs(which we kind of did at some point) the market would of collapsed because there would be no household in need of new light-bulbs...planned obsolescence isn't a flaw of capitalism, it is a feature.
Imagine having to buy a new car becaues you've filled the tank for the 300th time and a microchip inside disables the engine after that time.
About to open a repair shop, right to repair is good for everyone, small repair shops will not lose a single customer over right to repair passing. Even if you gave a customer a step by step lesson on how to repair a broken laptop keyboard or something: that customer will likely not want to do it themselves anyways.... most people prefer the convenience and "peace of mind" that says to them that the job was done right (the people I'm referring to prefer technicians no matter how easy the job) when they go to a mechanic or technician.
A massive wave of people fixing their own devices will not hurt repair shops.... there's so many other related ways for us to make money.
Yes I agree, repairing phones was putting food on my table at one point but now it's gone to shıt
@@yaboiavery5986 Part of that is covid..... at the shop I currently work at: we got less repairs as soon as people started getting their stimmy checks and we got more sales of new devices and more trade-ins (we give discounts on old devices traded in as long as the person is able to remove the google account/icloud to avoid accidentally accepting a stolen phone or being stuck with a just a harvest phone.... repair/refurbish the device and sell it again)... I predict repairs will jump right back to where it was in terms of actually making money as soon as the world gets back into the swing of things after covid....
(tangentially related but: the vaccine hurts worse than a tetanus shot.... better be worth it.)
Thank you for finally bringing this into the circle of mainstream tech UA-camrs.
About a year ago, I realised that there weren't any avenues for consumers to figure out how to tell a repairable product from a less repairable one at the point of purchase. Sure, there was iFixit which tears down devices and is an invaluable resource, but even they're limited by the sheer number of devices on the market.
What if the devices in your market are simply not available on iFixit? Or what if you're buying a niche device that iFixit doesn't cover?
With that in mind, I began writing the world's first repairable product buying guides aimed at teaching consumers how to tell repairable products from their less repairable counterparts at the point of purchase.
Since links are most likely banned, Google "Repairable Product Buying Guides" to check it out!
This is amazing. Thank you so much!
Thank You Louis for all you've done so far!
And thank you, Louis, for being at the forefront of this cause! You are one of the reasons it is getting any traction!
Second?
Time to ride the train Louis. Best of luck to you 👍 and we should be thanking you, not the other way round. You're an inspiration to us all
the email wave is working
In the 70s you had a full schematic printed in the manual and a phone number to buy replacement parts.
Still in the 90s 🤷♂️
Modern digital systems are way more complex tho. But I get your point 👍
@@fatih1186 this is not a defense as it doesn't make much sense. A 60s analog computer is mechanically way more complex than a modern laptop. I bet there are less parts in a computer today. But changing a fan or even just cleaning it, shouldn't require you to replace the mainboard and lose your data.
There are enough repair shops that will do board level repair and even do BGA reflowing... They shouldn't get into legal trouble for showing schematics of devices you own in a video.
In Germany you will still get that but most of the time only for professional equipment, like if a device doesnt have good servicability its considered bad quality atleast from my experience.
Seriously this was the standard starting in the 40s and 50s when electronics were shipped in kits still. I just ordered a modern updated driver board + onboard rectification & filtration, to replace the original 1956 driver board and 90s era solid state rectification + filtration board, from the guy who made said replacement, for my Dynaco kit ST-70 that I got last year when covid started. It cost me more than i paid for the original amp but I regret nothing, and he provided me with ample instructions for how to set it up and some technical info on the schematic as well that's needed for future maintenance, if not the full schematic itself (i'm not sure as it only shipped today). The original amp manual had a full user manual in addition to a full schematic for user maintenance, repair, and modification of the amp circuit. The ST-70 still houses a thriving DIY industry that contains multiple small businesses, some of which have been in operation since before I was born, and the amp itself is older than my mother (Though just the transformers and chassis will be original once I finish updating and repairing it). The new board is going to have 15 db MORE SNR (up to 105 from 90) than the old rectifier had, while delivering a fuller richer sound that will be very close to the not DIY friendly Series III ST-70, and uses a very similar tube layout with 4 dual triode tubes. I wanted to go for another similar board that only had 3 tubes but took the same 12AU7 tubes as used in the Series III, but this board is actually superior to that and uses the same 4 tube layout, just with 6v 6922 or 6FQ7 tubes, with 6FQ7 being the equivalent to the 12AU7 that I intend to use if the 4 6922s i paid for aren't to my liking
I have a 30-year-old refrigerator, in perfect working condition (and I kept it clean). After 10 years, it finally stopped working properly, and ice was accumulating inside since a while: ready for the trash bin and to be replaced. But at a substantial cost for the same features and size... Hence, I took my luck in hands, thinking that I would win over programmed obsolescence : changed the small internal fan+motor controlling the dispersion of the cold air, for one of a better quality and better life span; then added a galvanized iron coat rack unfolded like a rod, inside the condensation/water drain channel and attached to the resistance heating the inlet. It still works perfectly today, not a gram of ice has formed since, the temperature control works well, and since the fan is of a better cfm+quality, it takes less time than it took to balance the temperature which is more energy-efficient. Now I'll have to think about changing the sealing strips on the doors, since it's 30 years old and the material is losing its elasticity (still works, but sometimes I need to make sure that the doors are well closed else It ends up cooling the kitchen).
Here in the UK, Right to repair has come into effect this summer for fridges, washing machines and TV's. Manufactures now have to keep producing parts for their older products and ensure that they last up to 10 years. It's a step in the right direction but does not apply to Smart Phones or computers. Yet.

Fantastic cover and explanation of this subject Linus! Right to repair is just something that NEEDS to be back in place...
I think i heard this marketing strategy before
"Why be you when you can be NEW!" ~Ratchet
Can confirm they always try to upsell you to buy a new phone when you go in for repair too, my iphone 6 wouldn't connect to their wifi for 'diagnostics' but then I connected to the shopping center wifi and it was magically fixed... at least screen repairs were ONLY $150 then.
Yeah, similar here with my brother’s phone needing a screen, and they quoted him around 300 bucks… needless to say, his screen is still cracked and slowly peeling off.
The service is bad enough that for replacing certain parts I default to DIY knowing I can successfully do it. I'm running a 6S and I have 0 reason to change as long as it runs because I'm not into shiny gimmicks. I love the phones but everything related to service and repairs is subpar on Apple part. I do hope that they'll be forced to change but I also know that tabloids run on "X company item exploded" headlines to make a quick buck. My good friend thought SpaceX new rockets exploding meant that the company was doing poorly but that's only based on headlines and his general lack of interest in the topic to see further.
ouuch, $150 is so much
Before I became more involved in tech and devises a 1-2 hour drive to the nearest apple store and a $500 bill for a slow phone happened every few months. All for a simple cookie clear closing tabs and uninstalling crap shouldn't cost $500cad

When I studied engineering here in Germany we had a lesson about planned obsolescence
Our prof did design cheap garden tools for a company which should last 15hours working time
I know someone who was involved in the développement of chips that count pages in printers, so that your printer stops printing after a number of pages per ink charge....
When I did my higher education in the late 70ths we had to design a gearbox, just a general to get to know how to, it was then said you should build it to last 10 000 hours.....
@@Bratfalken technology makes it fairly easy to develop with planed obsolescence in mind
One of the best advices I can give: Look for professional products.
A KitchenAid maybe expensive, but it's designed to last and you can repair it quite easily
Instead of buying an inkjet printer get a proper office laser printer, you don't need color b/w is more than enough
It can be a hassle and has it's own fallpits but from my experience it's usually worth it
Wow 15 hours is absurd. Makes me think of a budget ratcheting screwdriver I bought that didn't even make it through one Ikea bed.

A looong text about my thoughts about the RtR-issue. There’s a lot of problems to fix for maximum effect (did I hear SWAT-analysis?).
• Reach / Cash
Louis Rossmann needs a lot of help to spread the word. It’s all about ACTIVE and donating followers. Even if he maybe wish, he can’t win this fight alone. He’s begging for money, but the opponent (tech giants) has no limit of cash and a army of lawyers, and maybe some PI to find dirt on Louis.
He’s a simple opponent if he’s alone and begging for support via fundraising. If Louis can spend 1 M the opponent can spend 100 M to bribe all the people who finally makes the decisions. It’s just waste of time without proper support. Lois 1.57 M followers doesn’t mean so much everybody thinks. Active and donating followers is the only think that counts and that isn’t even 1%.
• List of RtR ambassadors
To qualify they should have at least 1 M followers (because of the fake followers everybody can buy). There should also be at least 10 large UA-camrs (preferably in the USA) in every niche. Tech, Farming, Cars and so on. The repair monopoly is a big issue, but a lot of people doesn’t know about it due to a non existing marketing plan, and/or lack of money/interest.
• Some videos I noticed yet:
Marques Brownlee (MKBHD)
14 M followers, 1.6 M views
ua-cam.com/video/RTbrXiIzUt4/v-deo.html
Geekyranjit
3.2 M followers, 190 k views

Motherboard
1.51 M followers, 3.2 M views
ua-cam.com/video/F8JCh0owT4w/v-deo.html
SAMTIME and some other accounts also make good awareness of the repair monopoly, but they maybe to small to make a difference?
Compare the UA-camrs above with Lois 1.57 M followers. They have more views than Lois even has followers! Is there a lot of fake views and fake followers in the numbers? It really doesn’t matter since the word gets out. But this is just 4 of minimum 10 in every niche. It’s a very good start though!
• Step 1:
Spread the word massively, and not only on YT. This is important in many ways. A video can be taken down, reach can be limited by the famous algorithm and a lot of people doesn’t know about Lois. Some even doesn’t like him and aren’t capable to realize that this isn’t about Louis. It’s not about just his company. This is a global issue.
• Step 2:
If step 1 is made correctly it’s much easier to get Radio and TV stations interested. They must see large UA-camrs or forum threads to realize that this is a massive issue. Today they think who the F is Louis?! Louis doesn’t have the most humble approach in his videos and that is scaring in a TV interview. Forget live! 😀
• Step 3:
Collect all marketing campaigns in a shared document. Leave the “send me an email” stage! Google docs at least. Don’t let server limits create problems if millions of people starts to show interests.
A lot of companies have large sending lists for newsletters. You have all the UA-camrs, forum threads and other platforms that together maximize the reach and lower the risk of blocking. If there are at least 10 ambassadors the tech giant’s will lose the fight. 10 can easily be scaled up to 20, 50, 100 😀
• Step 4:
I’ve noticed a lot of whining comments about how some people think the ambassadors above was to soft in their approach and/or failed since they didn’t highlight the fundraising page and so on. These whining people will probably not add anything of value, just ignore them.
Everybody can do something EVEN if you don’t have 1 M followers on your YT channel. It’s free to start a petition for example and there’s a lot of those sites in different countries. Raise awareness is free and simple and of course far more constructive than just whining of someone else that maybe could have done more! I’m convinced that even a soft approach makes more good than harm in terms of awareness. There’s always time for a follow up video 😀
• Step 5:
Now it should be a good time to see if all the ambassadors can make a dedicated video that ONLY talks about the fundraising campaign.
It’s very important it’s transparent and reach the goal. Is the best solution that Louis get payed 2 years salary to work with this full time or can that even be a problem? Is there a realistic cost for a “lawsuit” and not an overpriced law firm involved? Can some good and reputable law firm actually do this Pro Bono since there’s a lot of goodwill involved?
• Step 6:
Now tell me. What do you think is the next step? Am I totally lost? What have you done yourself to move it further? Is there better steps to start with?
I’m curious about all the positive and constructive ideas. The whiners and haters can just scroll…
P.S.
This is just my personal opinions as a Swedish marketing manager and chess player 😀
I have no connection to Louis and are not familiar with the correct terms describing “the ultimate goal” in a USA court of law or any other institutions that could handle this global issue. Big cred to all of those who contribute.
Thank you for making this video. It means a lot to see larger tech channels discuss this issue. Well done
"Don't you ever throw this away. They don't make them like this anymore."
It is insane that 8 years ago we were sold on an idea that the new stainless steel fridge, dishwasher and stove were better appliances and that we should replace our 12 yr old ones. Fast forward today and we’ve had nothing but issues and just replaced the dishwasher. Let’s make old kitchen appliances trendy again 🥲

How are you the first comment with this
Jesus christ, how did you comment so fast.
???? This video came out 15 seconds ago....
How tf did you make a comment related to the video, while being the first comment
Just realized that after slowly writing my reply, 3 other people replied the same thing
you haven’t even watched the whole video
When I watched Verisatium's vid a few days back, I was wondering why no one is talking about this. Thanks Linus for bringing this to a larger audience.
Aah, please look up Louis Rossman - you will not be disappointed.
There have been ongoing court cases for a while now in various states for right to repair.
Louis actually brought me to your channel! Through watching you I've gotten very interested in upgrading my laptop, and even the idea that I can buy parts and do it myself make me so happy, this bill needs to be passed absolutely ASAP.
Thanks, guys! This was something we really needed to hear! :)
After having managed a 3rd party repair shop while going to college for IT, Ive been a part of the 'Right to Repair' cause for years now - even after I left the repair industry. It makes me so happy to see LTT bringing more attention to this issue. Thank you so very much.
Good
yeah, good thing Linus has been bringing attention to this for the past couple of years now.
@@jesusb9562 yes the news today how do you say penis in Spanish present participle
@@walidfakhfakh3660 what's wrong with you? Penis isn't a verb either so that's impossible.
I would not trust your shop to properly repair my iPhone 12 Pro Max and ensure it is IP68. It is a phone, tablet or computer that is sold as a tightly integrated unit. Apple isn't the only vendor for those products, if you don't like their repair polices go else where. Trying to repair an iPhone would be like, I broke a transistor in my 7nm AMD CPU and I need to solder a replacement, it ain't gonna work. OK repairing an AMD CPU is too extreme but the point is, Apple factory performing the refurbishing is much more cost effective than paying a 3rd party repair shop that may not be equipped to handle it. I actually had a 3rd party repair shop repair my daughters cracked iPad Air screen, what a friggen waste of money, the screen was substandard. I would have saved money by not trying to save money and cheap out on a 3rd party. In the end I just bought her a new iPad Pro.
The way everything is laid out is so clear and wonderful
Enter linus
As a long time sub to both Louis Rossmann and LTT this makes my heart happy!!!
Years ago, General Motors was NAILED SIDEWAYS for a certain part in their cars that was designed to fail at a certain mileage, (give or take a few thousand) causing the consumer to pony up money for that part and repair! They had memos etc, and they were caught cold by our Government. It was the first time I heard the term, "Planned Obsolescence."
More recently, I LOVE my Epson Ecotank 2650 printer. TONS cheaper for ink. BUT people discovered that after a certain time you get a warning about changing "ink-pads," but the problem is you can't unless you open it up and fight the ink stains. When you call Epson, their answer is it is unrepairable, and you need to buy a new one! Now, with their newer models, they did away with that problem. WRITE ON Linus!!......or RIGHT ON......or RIDE ON..........whatever it is!!🤍
Commenting mainly to boost engagement, this is a huge and important issue.
I really like your definition of "unethical" as "not illegal, YET", I feel like that kind of thinking would've prevented a lot of business world scandals.
The moment I saw a broken iPhone 6s on the thumbnail I knew we are gonna talk about Louis Rossmann's gofund me initiative. Honestly glad this is getting mainstream recognition.
Rossman had a community post mentioning a big tech channel is doing a video on RTR GoFundMe. I think this video released in floatplane some time ago
Yeah. In 2015 my Samsung phone fell on its face outdoors and the screen got smashed badly. Getting a new one would have cost €150 + the repair work fee so probably would have come to €200+ whilst I could get a brand new, newer model for €190. Guess which I chose?
Then, 5 and a ½ years later the same phone's screen repair cost me €72 including original / authentic parts and the repair shop's hourly fee.
Since that phone's screen smashed I've never used a phone without a wallet style case. In hopes that the front flap might affect the fall in a way that it doesn't end up on its face if it falls during use.
Though, I don't know about other countries but where I live it is easy and convenient to recycle e-waste. Well, at least in my city it is. So at least the environment is somewhat protected, even if the initial problem of having to buy new instead of repairing old still exists.
This just got recommended to me and honestly I'm glad it's still getting recommended
Time to move those DOGE profits over to Louis

Suddenly from the back of your desk...
HP Printer: Hey, I think my sponge might be wet. I'm out, replace me.
Spunch bop
I'm your printer and I check the cartridge to make sure you pay the best price and quality! Or else!
Ooh PLEASE lets not start the printer cartridge conversation again....... We ALL know THAT is a complete SCAM...!!
Thats why the printer is sold so cheaply, because those companies make their money on the cartridges that are suppose to be full when sold, but are only half full to scam people.
Damn, the Printer industry is perhaps the most outrageous example out there. Just recently, the HP LaserJet my sister bought to print my niece's homework essentially became a brick because HP discontinued the cartridge for it. That LaserJet cost $300 and she hasn't even had it for a year.
Nope. The toner cartridges for that model (107f) are chipped, so the printer detects "genuine" HP toner cartridges and will only work with them. Heck, the toner even gets linked to the first printer you install it on, so if you swap it to another printer of the same model, it will refuse to print.
Thank you so much for putting this issue in the spotlight Linus!
Thank you so much for covering this !!

Right to repair exists in the automotive industry.
Tesla: "Yeah we didn't get that memo."
"We don't do that here"
Holy crap I didn't even think about that!
Tesla is full blown AIDS for fixing your vehicle, or for it being rebuilt and having a second life.
It's okay though... Tesla is going to get dick stomped in the next 10 years when every other manufacturer comes online with their own electric cars. You think GM is going to block everything and pass arbitrary rules for their cars. No, no they wont.
As time goes on, the parts with become more interchangeable and be modified.
idk about Tesla but I noticed lots of new cars are like this... my friend tried to change a bulb and I said "yeah sure I got a spare w5w or whatever", but no, version in his car uses some kind of proprietary casing. Need to order it online at a hefty premium.
@@snjert8406 Tesla is slowly giving into the "Right to Repair" now. They're breaking laws by not doing so, and now people are getting a modification bill against the EPA, so we can mod 3rd party and remove EPA restrictions from our cars.
You're doing God's work. As Rossmann pointed out, you've risked a lot by talking about this and it shows a degree of integrity and principles that are honestly non-existent in any media entity. You have earned my unequivocal respect, Linus.
@Baba Gandu noted and corrected.
Veritasium also recently made a very good video on planned obsolescence and its history. I recommend it.
Gods work? What exactly did he risk? Neither of these statements are even remotely true, dont get me wrong, this is one of the rare times I think Linus is doing something selfless and great, but dont make him out to be some self serving hero either. He is still profiting off this video, and my guess he will earn more than the 20k he has invested. Again, dont get me wrong, I have no problem with him making a profit from his videos. He is a business, just dont go worshiping a man and making him out to be some sort of idol.
@@jon9947 the 20k he had sitting in the OF account was only there because of people subscribing and tipping even though it was an april fools joke. It was never going to go in his pocket and he said that early on. So, now its as if all those people donated to Louis instead.
@@jon9947 you would be surprised how many brands, VC firms, and angel investors have a credible stake in ensuring there is no opposition to planned obsolescence and are invested in killing the right-to-repair moment. We are talking billions at stake each year.
These entities will pull funding, advertising money, brand support/cooperation, and otherwise make your life hell as a business for supporting that which is directly harmful to their bottomlines. Linus could have taken the easy choice of remaining silent like pretty much everyone else, but he chose to speak out instead. It's not like he has a dearth of video ideas.
Making a video like this is a lose-lose proposition. Public memory is short, they will forget about this in two days, but Apple and associated brands and investors that are affected by right-to-repair will hold that grudge for the foreseable future. Linus will actually lose money over this.

Back in the mid 70's my older brother fresh out of college got hired by Ford. His first project was designing a new water pump. I'll never forget this. He turns in his design for review. Upper management comes back with changes that would shorten the part's life. When he asked why they made those changes they explained design obsolescence to him.
They can make a patent on it, prevent anyone from improving the design outside of them, (least for financial benefit) thus monopolizing the market and cutting out any competition, and then force everyone around them to pay them for it.
@@Spartan322 Water pumps has been in use since forever so it (or at least in Europe) would be very difficult to get a patent on if it’s not a completely all new type of system that would be ground breakingly different.
The design obsolescence is something that will be even further introduced in the Automotive world with the electrification of cars, since electric cars have less moving parts and much simpler mechanics and therefor in return will give less revenue in parts. Another trend will be that the infotainment system will be driven more towards an App Store based solution so you’ll pay for even comfort equipment like interior color lights and so on..

"Water pumps has been in use since forever so it (or at least in Europe) would be very difficult to get a patent on if it’s not a completely all new type of system that would be ground breakingly different. "
I don't get the point here. Also being different (even groundbreaking-ly different) doesn't mean better.
"The design obsolescence is something that will be even further introduced in the Automotive world with the electrification of cars, since electric cars have less moving parts and much simpler mechanics and therefor in return will give less revenue in parts. Another trend will be that the infotainment system will be driven more towards an App Store based solution so you’ll pay for even comfort equipment like interior color lights and so on.."
I'm not sure I get your point, designed obsolescence only happens because nobody can produce a better conception of a previously patented design, giving monopoly rights to the patent holder, preventing improvement on the design until the patent dies. I don't see that as moral and more as the core origination of the problems proposed by the "right to repair", I say fix the problem, not the symptoms, if you are are sick and have a fever, preventing the fever doesn't make you not sick anymore. (not to mention with that specific case, getting rid of the fever actually makes your condition worse because the fever is designed to try and kill the sickness)
That's why Ford is where it is!
@@KF2NationalKartcrg Kind of turns them into patent trolls wouldn't you say?

Fantastic video guys - really, really well done! We're literally digging our own graves in e-waste, across the board.. & in so many industries..
Planned obsolescence and not allowing the right to repair will bury us! it's ridiculous that as a modern society we prefer to fill up landfills rather than actually think about how we can either not break things on purpose, or allow people to repair the products they have bought!

I agree, and it isn't just phones and apple products. I had a panasonic lcd tv that accidently fell into and broke the lcd panel on. The outer screen was fine, the back lighting was fine, it was just the panel. It could have easily been fixed. I was forced to buy a new tv because you simply couldn't get that part. I tried to get the part to try and fix it myself and couldn't. So I tried a repair shop and they told me they couldn't get it either and even if they could the cost of parts and labor would be more than replacing the tv with a better model. And this tv was not that old. It isn't like it was a 5 year old tv that was out of date and not being made anymore. And it was something I could have fixed. No soldering or special tools were needed. I had no trouble getting the old panel out of the tv. I just couldn't get a new panel is all. So I had to scrap a 50 inch tv.
Louis is a real stand up guy. Your support for him has garnered my respect. Thank you Linus
Electronic companies (like Apple) trying to force us to buy a new iPhone because the screen broke is like a car company trying force us to buy a new car because a window broke.
IKR!
for those that say we have to freedom to buy another manufaturer's product, havnt seen how this mentality is spreading across manufacturers for instance: samsung started selling chargers seperately just after apple did, and guess what- there's more waste producd on avg if the charger comes out of the box
@@sweetmelon3365 The charger thing was actually reccomended by different governments, along with the standarditation of charging ports, its not more waste if you dont need to buy one because you already have 3 laying in a basket at home.

@@sweetmelon3365 You can buy from a company that tries to reduce E-Wast, my Fairphone 2 is really easy to repair.
But they didn't include the charger in the box, long before Apple copied it and they really do it to reduce waste.
Actually, if your iphone's screen (new one) broke, you literally can't replace it. Even if you buy another iPhone, rip its screen off and put it in your iphone. The device won't boot. You will find me dead before I ever use Apple products again
Keep spreading the word on this, very important!
That lightbulb cartel reminds me, the one thing that grinds my gears is the cost of razors. They must cost $0.01 each to make but they wear out in a week and cost $2.70+
