If we say “not pro repair” is “anti-repair”, we lose the meaning of what being anti-repair is.

Then yell at the people trying to redefine apple as “not pro repair”. They’re the ones twisting the definition.

Not releasing calibration tools and such is not “Anti repair” that’s just “not pro repair”

Not pro repair is anti repair. Making it hard to fix the shit you own by obfuscating what you have to do to fix it is anti repair.

If they didn’t obfuscate it there would be many tools out there already to let it be done. Also, basically every other laptop doesn’t have these random calibration issues. Why would Apple be so unique?

Design wise, Apple is not trying to hold you back, they just do not give a fuck if you can repair anything they build.

They literally serial lock almost half of their parts.

Why would you move to a red hat product?

After Nintendo’s choice to kill mods and emulation you’d be a fool to buy from them.

This is a new trend thanks to so many products requiring web services to function. Back in the day the only thing that made products inaccessible was the fact they were not produced.

Nowadays a lot of stuff is just a useless brick purely because an unnecessary web endpoint has been shut down. Especially video games.
