Episode notes

Apple is a perfect example of so many of these ills and apple certainly guilty of doing this. But if you went to Apple and said, Hey, why can't I repair my iPhone or my Mac book? Let's see the example of a Mac book because Mac books have really changed over the last 30 years. They would say, well, we have integrated all of the hardware onto one big chip. And when I hear that argument, I'm always like, it kind of holds water for me. The engineering on a, on a modern Mac book is like truly out of this world, like efficient and powerful and a miracle of modern technology.

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.
