Astonishing Anti Repair Practices By Apple In the Last 15 Years
Waterproof is the loophole! I had a suspicion Apple backing the bill was too good to be true. I wonder if they'll make all their products waterproof to utilize this loophole, or if they actually will improve for laptops and desktops.

Brazil Hits 92% Renewable Energy Milestone
Is this nameplate capacity, actually peak generation, or average generation? They're all good, but for the first two, to get 100% renewable energy all the time, you need a lot more than 100% nameplate or peak generation.

Just make sure you don't get suckered into buying a new device when the old one is perfectly fixable at third party repair shops or sometimes even by yourself.

This is an escalation the others haven't taken yet, but I'm sure they'll soon follow if they're allowed. But all prevention of repair should be illegal, not just this company.

How do people usually clean up their storage space? I guess if they never run out, they could avoid using it. Another thing I use it for is looking though downloads. Maybe some people just download a new version every time?

Absolutely. Maybe an exception for video game multiplayer cheating, but that's the only thing I can think of. Any other situation I can think of just enriches the computer to the massive detriment of the user.
