yeah I'm not sure which posts you're referring to, I skimmed it and there seem to be an equal number of "good, gently caress apple profiteering, this will make repairs easier and cheaper" and "bad, every phone that has ever been repaired is potentially compromised now"

oregon passed a right to repair bill that prevents OEMs from parts pairing. apple uses parts pairing that disables features like truetone on the screen if you replace the screen without going through them or using their self-repair service

I Ike this part where technicians are going to be certified by some authority. Really want to see that test.

quote:

It does have consumer protections, such as requiring independent repair shops to have a "valid and unexpired certification" ensuring the person doing the repair has the "technical capabilities and competence necessary" to make a successful fix.

If a repair shop is allowed to use non-Apple parts for repairs on Apple products, then they should be required to remove the Apple logo from the device. A device with an Apple logo containing non-Apple certified internals is misleading.

They should also not be allowed to run Apple's iOS or macOS, and must run on open-source alternatives like Android and Linux.

plainly ignoring that you can still just go to apple to have your stuff repaired. it's like with the whole side-loading thing in the EU, the posters on MR were losing their minds about how they don't want to side-load, as if they're going to now be forced to do that

Yeah I’d be pretty annoyed if I bought a used iPhone and it had like a palm pilot display wedged in there but if that’s makes it through apples refurb process I don’t think I’ll blame Oregon.

sure but some of us have to provide tech support for non-technical family and friends so having the app store, for all it's many flaws, is a net boon

third party app stores also increase the chance that a lot of software we use will end up exclusively on third party app stores or migrated into super-apps (though the devil is in the details on this)

so it's not just about our choices vOv

(and to be clear, i'm not saying i love the status quo either, i just recognize the trade-offs)

yeah that's the main issue with lots of the discussion around "parts pairing" - a lot of the activists seem to be blissfully unaware that some things they decry as pairing are actually security/privacy features or calibration (eg the truetone thing mentioned up there? probably a calibration thing)

should we make apple improve? yes absolutely, for example give us access to the software required to perform calibration. and let society decide what kind of tradeoff we want to make between "thieves can part everything out" and "device is end-user repairable", rather than leaving it up to corporations to decide

but also we shouldn't be preventing them from building strong user-oriented security features in the name of right to repair. (though I'm sure some TLAs would like that)

i probably would be part of the activists if I didn’t work in embedded and know that this level of integration is required for a variety of functional, security and safety features. it’s shocking how many non genuine or incorrect spec parts end up in the supply chain and can cause issues from degraded performance (as you say with calibration) to causing fires (batteries/charge circuitry). like, we’re all way too casual about how most of spend the majority of our days with what amounts to a small bomb in our hands or in our pockets. the manufacturer needs ways to ensure that their product is made safely and to spec and this is one of the best ways to do it and it has the bonus of increased security

but then, if you buy something you should have the right to break it and do whatever you want. but does a manufacturer have to put extra effort in to let you do that if it’s easier to just go into a design safe state if everything doesn’t look right?
