Ace: “So if I try to access code below the user level in my new phone, it’ll lock up? That a new spy safety feature of the government?”
Smith: “Oh, not at all. That’s Apple, and the other tech companies doing their evilist to make repairing their products impossible, UNLESS you go to their own stores and either pay their own repair teams, or be forced to buy a new one, based on their own agents’ say-so. Nothing special about your phone, laptop, or tablet; they’re all made that way now. Try to fix your own phone, or even have a professional repair person outside their company do it, and you’ll be the proud “owner” of a very expensive brick.”
Ace: “…That seems like it shouldn’t be legal. Do we not own things we’ve bought and paid for anymore?”
Smith: “Tech companies have established a convenient legal precedence that no, you don’t. There’s a few small groups lobbying for ‘Right-to-Repair’ as it’s been termed, but who do you think can afford more and better lawyers? Little grassroots community protest group… or a cooperative task force combining the western world’s largest tech giants?”
Ace: “…I’m stuck for a punchline.”
Smith: “Yeah… it’s not that funny.”
