I ended up with the absolute worst shopping buggy in the store, constantly clacking and hanging up. I found it was somehow much easier to push backwards…

People looked at me funny, but hey, if it seems stupid but works, it’s not stupid.

Cops with guns don’t have to run… 🤷‍♂️

More or less yeah. Though back around 2013 or so, I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by how they designed their Mac AIO desktops, they actually were somewhat repair tech friendly.

The front glass was magnetically attached, so it only took a suction cup or two to start disassembly, and basic screwdrivers to remove the screen and get access to the motherboard, hard drive, RAM, DVD drive, etc.

And yes you could replace or upgrade parts as necessary, none of this newer soldered on storage shit they do these days.

I’ve lost a lot of respect for companies that solder on important parts that should rightfully be fairly easy to replace or upgrade.

Plus, now the big companies have taken to forcing encryption on the storage devices, effectively locking the drive to the system. Well isn’t that just cute for the backup operator that’s trying to recover your late grandmother’s family photos…

Apple, and a number of the other big tech companies as well. Shit used to be easy to use, repair, customize to your liking, etc.

Now they don’t want you to be able to fix a damn thing, plus all too many services and features and stuff have gone to the subscription model.

Fuck all with that, give us our stuff back and let us just use what we paid for.

Right To Repair!

If you’re gonna try a stunt like that, you might say that you graduated from ITT Tech, which closed in 2016…
