Halfway through he describes this as malicious compliance with the “right to repair” law. Apple and others are making a mockery of the law.

    I guess that’s one way to make people give up cars in favor of public transportation.

      Making them unaffordable for the majority by jacking up car insurance prices, seems like a super efficient strategy.

        that’s just sad. I have about 4 bus stops within a 5 minute walk. a bus transfer station (with maybe 30 different routes) 10 mins away, and a train station also 10 mins away. I feel bad for americans having to rely on a car :/

        I guess it’s great advice if you live in New York or Disney World. I have a forty minute walk to the nearest bus stop and depending on where I want to go in town and how many transfers it takes, it might take me 2 hours to get somewhere in my mid-side town.

        Meanwhile, I can reach anywhere in town in twenty minutes by car, and I can carry $800 of groceries in my trunk. And I don’t freeze my ass off in the snow.
