People have become unused to repairing their devices in a lot of ways. Repair has really been essential to human technology as long as there has been human technology. It's really sped up with the introduction of software and kind of network connectivity into our devices.
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.
