John Deere: Repair does build community and in a whole bunch of different areas. People love Apple products 10 times more than they love Nintendo products, he says. But there's no iPhone tinkerers who are like, 'Check out how I modded my old iPhone 3G to make it modern because I love it so much' He adds that we might be losing this kind of community building aspect of repair.

Do we really own the devices we buy? ‘The Right to Repair’ author Aaron Perzanowki joins Adam to explain how companies are using their power to control the products we buy from them, even after they’ve left the store, and prevent us from repairing them ourselves. They discuss how this affects the environment, the livelihood of farmers, and the longevity of AirPods, and Aaron shares resources on how we can take power back and do our own repairs.
