   Some devices aren’t hard to repair by accident—they’re built that way. These design choices block access, add risk, and push you toward replacement instead of repair. That’s not innovation. That's planned obsolescence.

   Which one annoys you the most?

     @iFixit soldered RAM ―as in the Dell Inspirons sold to millions of USA K-to-PhD students― are, hands down the worst. we can add external storage drives. there is no such thing for RAM.

     honestly, it should be a crime punishable by a 10% of the total gross worth of a company.

     @blogdiva @iFixit This is caused by people in suits who will tell you that the cost of a single socket, multiplied by a million orders, will somehow end all sales and destroy the company. I have had such discussions with people who will not listen to reason, and think a penny, times a million, is a billion dollars, so we shipped crap instead of quality. 🤷♂️
