I came up with this question right after I wanted to take apart a microwave to see why it wasn’t heating anything before I remembered that that’s a very, VERY bad idea

      Of course I understand caution with ⚡️, but just about everything has a ‘do not open’ label on it (in the litigous US anyway). Do we not care about right to repair?

      Eh, I’m not sure about that broad. Macbooks say not to open them because “reasons”, but most items in there can be easily repaired

        Actually not. They CAN be repaired, but are a nightmare of soldered and glued shit. The only apple thing I own (Linux/Android/Win user) is an iPad, which admittedly is a sweet performer, and iPads are just plain better tablets, but no way I’m cracking it open. I’ve replaced Android screens, repaired laptops, but fuck apple. Not because of danger, but because breakage is almost guaranteed on newer stuff.
