The part about not using Apple products to build a nuclear device is actually in their service agreements.
Except that would not affect the government in any way. America loves its bombs and will stop at nothing to make them.
That part is actually also in a lot of ToSes including Bank of America and Windows. I imagine this refers to hostile regimes and terrorist groups, not Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
I read that part against using stuff to make "nuclear, missile, biological, or chemical weapons" is actually US government mandated, and potentially meaningless in most cases it appears in.
What about in England?
Did you ever see that episode of Legends of Tomorrow where a demon tricks the planet into signing over their souls by hiding the contract in the service agreement for a dating app he creates? Genius.
@@tnynfox1669 the problem is US "is" the hostile regime and terrorist maker...and ironically the only country in the world who has actually used nuclear weapons against civilians...
There actually is only one apple store in Nebraska
What even happens in Nebraska besides corn and tornadoes?

Well to be fair we only have one real city here. I mean if you take the population of the two largest metro areas you have over half the state population. Not really a lot here once you leave Omaha (or perhaps Lincoln if you like a smaller city). Now I'm sure I'll upset the people living in the small towns, but there is not a lot to do in city of 20k or under which makes up nearly all the cities and towns in Nebraska. I'll stick to Omaha which has a metro of nearly a million people.
False.
Pine lake mall Lincoln ne
Gateway mall Lincoln ne
West roads mall Omaha ne
Oak view mall Omaha ne
Apple store on 144th omaha ne
Multiple best buys
Shadow lake mall papillion ne... bruh
Not to mention the stores in the towns I have yet to visit.
Also Omaha was the second us city to be introduced to crack and is a key spot for the mexican cartel. Nebraska has quite a few interesting facts such as that but get ya facts straight.
I can almost guarantee UA-cam won't let this hit the trending.
You can actually repair your own iphone due to laws in the US and software is yours you just cant pirate an illegally sell said software
Because it's not entertaining, or because...nope, that's about it...
Isn't it interesting however that a lot of the other Adam Ruins Everything videos have millions of views and this one hasn't even broke 100k? You may be onto something
DonkeyKing nope but it popped in my recommendation
YAA YAA YEET UA-cam
Thankfully, right to repair laws have begun to spring up
And even if not people always find ways around them, Iv only had one licenced version of windows, never have payed for Photoshop, and pirate tons of stuff, you tube doesn't even want you to download their vids but guise what i do. part of the fun is trying to crack it and get away with it. this is realy backfiring on apple and i think there sails are down.
Yeah how's that working?
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 in prison
I shall quote Peter Griffin rightnow: “ah, America...”
If my Apple device has problem I always pay some other repair company to fix it, never Apple.
Something weird I've noticed with people in Adam ruins everything comments is that their complaint often boils down to the show not addressing something or another without giving any thought to the topic itself or what the show stands for its about debunking misconceptions not about fighting for one side or another and I feel like a lot of detracters forget that
While I fully agree, commenting this on this particular video makes little sense as this is one of the most accepted ones
Pretty Princess I cannot like it is at 69
Not everyone on the internet is serious and has good manners. Lol
@@syngatesavenge2947 some people just want to complain.
"or use me to build a nuclear device" this is an ACTUAL part of apple's user agreement btw...
Link?
But really. How can agreeing to the terms of service be consent? For Consent to be valid, the person must have the freedom to make the choice. If you don't agree to their terms, you can't use them, you don't have the freedom to decline.
Kharn The Betrayer good point
but that option to decline and not use the device/service is enough to meet the legal minimum of free choice
@@Paddymadeathing Which is sad, and kind of ridiculous. There's no terms of service for using a loaf of bread. You pay for the bread, you can do whatever you want with it. Imagine if we had that kind of thing with bread. You are not allowed to cut your own bread, you must go to a specific place where they will cut your bread into slices for you. We wouldn't accept this.
But, because it's tech, and they have huge teams of lawyers, and can bribe (oh sorry, lobby) officials.
@@Paddymadeathing Going to guess that the device makers got to take part in writing these laws.
Angel Fox That’s freedom applied in the broadest sense, and that is the mind game being applied here. I’m not sure if I should be “free” to cheat and steal and falsify information. I made the stuff, I am responsible for it. I can hand you a new product in the place of the used one. I can’t fix it and resell it if someone has modified it. It’s useless to me and it voids warranty.
There are solutions to this problem: Open Source Hardware and Open Source Ecology.
GNU/Linux is a good choice
Sort of. And maybe this becomes more valid with time.
Example: There are phones with completely open source parts and software, but A) they're already behind the times with regards to performance and B) they're freaking expensive (economies of scale).
I use Linux on my computers, but even then, if I want to submit a resume, they often require it to be sent in Word format (not PDF or similar). Creating the resume in LibreOffice or Google Docs and saving it as a DOCX means terrible formatting once the business receives it.
Then you look at cars: any car created in the last few years contains software in the infotainment system which is strictly licensed, sometimes remotely accessible via cellular radio built into the car, and potentially impossible to decline without giving up the whole car.
Edit: I just remembered after reading other comments: even in your desktop or laptop with Linux, your computer uses a BIOS/UEFI bootloader that is likely closed source, and the CPU definitely has micro code that is inaccessible or modifiable. A driver update could brick the CPU if Intel deemed you were using their processor in a way they didn't like.
agree . even thought anrdoid is open source but google manages it.
This is a serious problem. Such companies should not be supported.
Too bad they had already taken over the world
Did you write that on your iPhone? Lol..
@@austinmartin2927 Mr. Gotcha!
Can I hug the old man? He reminds me of my grandpa
It's just anti competition. If an independent repair person can fix your phone for cheaper, then the tech guys should try to offer a better service. Capitalists will claim that "capitalism gave you that iPhone" but it's companies trying their best to circumvent free markets
This is actually true. I had a 2010 MacBook and I tried to install two 500gb SSD but it turns out the current Apple OS doesn’t allow this because Apple doesn’t want their consumer to fix or upgrade their older products.
Get a windows laptop

How did you find an adapter to plug them in at night?
You own paper with words printed on it. There's still a license agreement in that book. You do not own the book.
The only change e-readers made is making it easier to revoke access to a particular title. Look through history, revoking access to a given title is not new.

Don't buy Apple products
Of course you don't; you're Batman. You get a discount at Wayne Enterprises for all of their products.
@JohnnyGTO The Librem 5
Preach it
Just modify your device anyways. It isn't apple's device, it's your device now.
@@1d10tcannotmakeusername Did you not watch the video?
This is the compelling case for the total banning of, or sharp curtailment and heavy scrutiny of lobbying / lobbyists. I lean towards the former option because those attorneys who pose as lawmakers in DC and state capitols would twist any regulations beyond all recognition to their personal, political, and financial favors. And, therefore it would be business as usual where none would be punished for graft or any of the other crimes that are committed by those political criminals now.
Yeah, our senators and reps are too easily swayed by lobbyists! We should have our senators and reps pass a law to... oh wait.
Aaand therein lies the great fault of American democracy.
1:40-And this is why buying a Samsung is better.
My screen was broken,got replaced at a local repair store,and worked for an year after it just fine.
That while also being cheaper and working even better than the iphones!!
Most peoples who buy apple devices are just too superficial,have too much money to waste,or are just stupid!!
The tech is great, it's the people controlling it you should hate.
Don't let your horse get bricked! Take action! -> repair.org
eff.org and defectivebydesign.org too!
You should do one on software. We don’t own anything anymore. We could use software for years before. Now we need to buy a license every year.
OK, if the stuff makers say they OWN the s/w, then that should imply a LIFETIME WARRANTY, all updates and repairs (hardware included) are FREE. No fees, no shipping. They OWN it; they FIX it or refund your full purchase price, anytime.
But then how will they squeeze us for all the money they can get their greedy little fingers on?
If that's true I don't own my pirated software too, so I'm clear
So if you're not the owner of the pirated copy on your system then you're not a pirate.
Checkmate companies!
Yes Atcully you will not legally get introble for useing pirated software. I learned about this long ago sence my Uncle worked in law.
So yes You can illegally download a pizza
@Firelord Eliteast67 it's a legal loophole
Is this an American thing? As a European to me, this sounds like propaganda!
Kristaps Gailis it is a real thing. John Deere is really bad about as they show in the episode.
I can loan books from my Kindle to other Kindles. It removes the book from my library and adds it to theirs, and then they can send it back when they're done. Just like loaning a book.
I owned a Amazon fire hd, and now i understand how this is
Yeah, Amazon Fires are horrid.
I love mine.
I like how I got a amazon ad oh the irony
Saw this episode today and thought very informative. You’ve talked about these new billionaire companies, but have you talked about the old ones. Yes Tesla got $500 million from the government, but what about GM motors receiving, what was it, $50 billion that same year as Tesla, also while Ford received about $10 billion. On another note, tech companies don’t pay much in their taxes, while older companies like, P&G, and other billion companies like DOW, Exxon Mobil, Marathon Oil, Valero and other oil refineries are 70% or higher exempted from paying property taxes. You should make an episode about your those companies as well.
John Grzeskowiak I don’t care if GM paid off their loan from the treasury or not. My statement was mainly about how the show says tech companies are cheating the people when they should talk about how the older billion dollar companies are getting more and better special treatment while making their customers pay for it.
John Grzeskowiak one additional note. Did you know our government pays the oil company about 2 billion dollars per year so you can have cheaper gas.
John Grzeskowiak yeah, there were some pro but I like to blow off some steam since I really can’t anywhere else. When did GM pay off their loans. I’ve mainly reached to the point where they used another loan to partially pay for their first loan.
Sad thing is that your device won't work if you don't agree to those dumb licensing agreements.. it'll just shut off and then ask you again. Until your forced to say yes. So people don't read the fine print because they have no choice but to say agree anyway? Same goes for apps.. if I don't press agree it won't start
Wait what? Wasnt this uploaded already?
Only the beginning is the same, they added more at the end
UA-cams license terms took it down

Luckyly here in Finland we have customer protection laws that say that if you pay for it you own it... So... If I buy a Ferrari car then it's MY Ferrari car and I can do what ever I want with it. And if they take my acces away from me because I changed the radio/player into what I want or added a 15" subwoofer in it then they are in trouble... No matter what... Also... Because of customer protection law in Finland you must all ways make those EULAs as clear as glass... Remember what happened to bethesda here in Finland after FO76 scandal... Yup... Don't mess with us
We need the same laws here in America on the federal level.

Time to make your politicians work for their money. I heard that the elections are nearing
They patched the screen repairs on iPhones but if you lose/ break the home button, You have to go an apple authorized dealer to regain all of the functionality.
Make the episode how google phones collected data on you live.
It's the new version of indentured servitude. You work for the privilege to buy there junk. Then they turn it off so you have to buy the new version. Last week my LG TV said it is no longer going to support Google Maps, and some other app.
Just curious, does your TV need GPS?
@@dirrdevil Brendan uses his TV as his in-car infotainment system after pulling out the cassette tape player.
Right to Repair for farmers just passed in Colorado building on a wheelchair repair law. It's not over yet.
I absolutely 💖 this particular episode.
Recently, several of Sony's game consoles were found-out that when the internal battery dies, known as the CMOS battery, located on the console's motherboard, and then without an internet connection proceeding a battery dying to resync the time to Sony's servers, will then lock a player out of all PS4 games (and digital for certain with PS3/PS5 - physical will work on PS3, but still up in the air for PS5) and will not play, for both physical and digital copies.
Your disc, that you purchased at the store in-person or digital game you bought online, is not protected under the current laws, because it falls under a software agreement.
The game itself is still owned by the game companies and Sony has a disclosure in their agreement, that they do not have to guarantee any of the games will work on their consoles in the future, even if this is in-part, because of something pre-programmed on their part (such as requiring a time-sync to their servers to unlock the games).
Whether the company addresses/resolves this issue or not, is up to them, but this is just another word of a cautionary tale of the future we're in store from, when it comes to machinery and software, and rights to repair/play.
To note: Microsoft does a one-time authorization check on their current consoles, so they too, are no different, as there is no way around that issue without Microsoft's permission to play games you bought.
Also, for PC players... Steam has the same disclosure in their agreement, that if they shut-down their server, they don't have to reimburse anyone, as you're only paying to access the games through their online service.
Welcome to the future where you don't really own anything without their say-so.
How would the console know the difference between you replacing the battery and Sony doing the same?
At least the Playstation 2 doesn't act that way. It has an internal battery as well.
@@johntracy72 Older post, so my info might be a bit foggy, but what happens when you replace the battery, the console loses its data of your authentication check (as the CMOS saves that internally) that you created when logging unto the the server with the PS3/saves to your console. When the battery is replaced or dies, the console then looks for the code (that has now been erased) and will deny the user the ability to play anything on the Hard Drive (games, dlc add-ons) that requires the authenticating check (that's now gone). The only way to restore it, is to go online with your Playstation Account on the PS3 console and Sony will send the code to the console upon logging-in, saving it to your console, via the CMOS battery, that stores it internally again.
Sony patched the issue on the PS4 - no longer needing the CMOS battery for the Code to be stored on the Console (but you will still need to update on the console with this patch to play games without the Authenication Code being stored in the CMOS Battery in the future - You will still need a Authenication Code on the console to play the games though). All PS3 consoles still have this issue and looks like it will never get a patch at this point.
I hope Adam does more videos on monopolization.
This is why "piracy" should be legal. Not to mention reverse engineering and the hacking of DRM.
Good thing EULAs are not always legally binding in Europe.
Why do people keep buying Apple products? I'm sure there was an upside originally, but not anymore.
I swear I've seen this somewhere before.. :P but I won't say no to more content!
"There's only one apple store in Nebraska!"
Me: Hah, that's a funny joke!
*citation pops up*
Me: Say sike right now
Another reason why android is better
Remember when Microsoft said we wouldn’t be able to play games on other xbox one systems other than the one it was originally on?
The very reason why many android device locked their bootloader. Hindering user from installing custom rom. Because they need to control the device
The real revenge of the nerds.
Weird flex but ok
How so?
I don't know if they still get away with it, but Apple in the past has created system updates that deliberately slow down old tech. When a new iPhone came out, they would slow down old ones, attempting to force you into buying new phones.
That was caught, punished, and required to be reversed. Apple tried to claim they were just looking out for users' batteries, but that didn't fly. Still, even if not artificially slower, new software still requires more resources. A friend has an older iPad that he carried with him every day. Now, it's sitting in a corner somewhere collecting dust, because it's so slow.
That was actually to save electricity, and when it came public Apple gave the option to turn off that power saving feature.
That is why, besides my ipod (yes, I said ipod), I don't own any Apple products. All that stuff you mentioned is called "built in obsolescence," which means that they deliberately manufacture their products to slow down or become defective after a few years. And you can only get your device repaired if you go to any Apple store, by which they may tell you that your device is out of date and may try to convince you to buy a more up-to-date product.
Hardware used to last for years, but now companies are so corrupt. They, in purpose, build their hardware to fail after a few years so they can have people making new, expensive purchases, and the fail is revolved around the software. They come out with a new operating system for the device, they will tell you that it is not compatible with your old device, and they will swindle you into buying a new one.
Having a smart phone is one thing, but please don't get a smart anything else. That goes for toasters, refrigerators, washer and dryer, etc if you can avoid it.
@@tarag7292 hey, it's fine if you have your ipod. don't tell anyone, but i still have and use my 1999 zune.

How do we get rid of corporatism and lobbying. Also getting rid of loop holes like the rich keeping money is swiss banks or other offshore account
you dont. its called capitolism. its flawed but at least its not communism, which sounds good in practice but notice how almost every communist country in the past severely mistreats its people. we worry about if we can fix our smartphones for cheaper, most people in current communist countries are wondering if they'll eat or die tonight.
Run for office and don't sell out, or vote for people who can't be bought and who actually care about their constituents.
Aspiring to improve the status quo was the birth of the USA and (IMO) should be the prevailing spirit of our country. Just because its "good enough" doesn't mean we stop trying.
Strict regulations are an answer
What operating system do the people who design atomic bombs use, since the windows and apple user agreement both have clauses against this?
Does the government/military ignore this rule?
Do they have a special linux distro?
What's the deal?
I googled it but all I got was put on a watchlist.
Probably Windows XP
I think that practically only applies to rogue regimes and terrorists, to avoid liability. The US itself kinda mandated that line for ToS.
I've seen a Lockheed Martin employee use Windows 10 in a photo on their site. And I'd bet Boeing employees use a lot of iPhones.
Well i just updated my perfectly good iphone 7+ to iOS 13.3 and now my phone doesn't work. I took it to apple store and they can try to fix when I pay $400 for repair.
Tim cook wants to know your location😀😀
Jokes on you apple there isn't even 1 apple store in my state here in brasil.
Is it ironic that I'm watching this on a broken phone
Wait, was the point of the ending for Adam to show that they wouldn't fix the horse and just disappear? That's a bit dark.
volkswagen didn't fix anything
I agree with fighting for “fight to repair”. But licensing content is a bit trickier. We’re used to watching moves in a theatre but can’t record it. So it’s not too much different than reading a book that Amazon can take away or a movie that Netflix pulls. So don’t see the big deal about it, though of course it’s nice if they change those laws to be favourable to consumers.
Apple is appalling.
Tyler durden- the things u own end up owning u
Thats why i like open source hardware and software.
Then there is companies like MSI that keep your warrant even if you open your laptop and change the thermal paste.That's the level of freedom some companies give you. And then there are companies like apple who refuse to fix your devices with a reasonable price.

actually u bought it u own it and jailbreak everything
from there I can make my own software

Hak5 had a segment on this
people should have the right to repair what they own
Especially when they depend on it
In NY there is a right to repair law so this video is partially wrong. Not only that but not every tech company supports this. For example Android software is open to anyone doing whatever they want. You don't even need to install any Google apps to use it. Basically you always have an open source alternative. Linux to widows being another etc
I have been using Apple products for more than 30 years. I have always done my own repairs. I have also helped other people repair their Apple products many times.

Apple have now started letting you fix your own device in fact here in England they sell their screens and other parts
#righttorepair
Just root your device, thats what I plan on doing
I can give you an even better example than any presented here. Of course this was produced 3 years ago but here goes anyway. When you purchase an Amazon device with a screen such as the Echo Show you don’t own it. Yes you paid for it but it’s shared between you and Amazon. For instance you have very little control over what’s being displayed on your screen. No matter how many settings you choose to limit what’s being shown there is no way to stop Amazon from displaying their “card” screen which is built into the software. It will show you exactly what they want including advertisements in the way of “sponsored” ads. This detail is the number one complaint across the Reddit community. After a 30 minute conversation with Amazon they simply refuse to remove this feature. And you need to include Massey Ferguson tractors as they don’t even let you repair any of the non technical parts. It all has to be done by the dealership.
Yep... That's why you also have Ads and commercials offline for each time you watch your Smart TV
There is always some way to bypass these restrictions.
Yeah if I think that everyday people like contractors make customers sign paper work that if the project they worked on has an issue years from the date of completion that they would have to use the primary contractor and it’s subs to repair and/or replace the project. Such as a roof that has out lived it’s life expectancy has to be repaired or put new by the the primary contractor and it’s subs. I would love to see all the scum bags from big tech come back and say that’s not fair. Because as we all know do as I say not as do is the only argument the lawyers can come up with.
after watching all the episodes of Adam ruins everything i finally understood why america is doomed country
Apple is really a more privacy centric company so I like them. My parents friends work for them so I get free repairs anyways
More privacy centric than what?
The NSA?
Ah yes, and this is exactly why I'm a proud user of AOSP and (mostly) Open-Source Hardware :)
Right, and now there's no one but you responsible for fixing it when it breaks.
