  • A new third-party MacBook repair tool is good for Right to Repair

    Absolutely correct..

    Having faced the brunt of Apple's unfair and occasionally illegal actions, i think this is a great step.

    It should however be turned into a legal battle forcing them to actually provide the right to rpeiar.

    the current iteration of the 'self repair' system is designed to make it both problematic and overly difficult to rpeair.. for example, post-repairs require a calibration process, which itself fails ALMOST EVERY TIME the first time it is run.  it is infuriating.. but predicable.  and of course Apple refuses to make it right.

    The software doesn't need to be run in this manner.. it could be done in a sane way and not waste everyone's time.. but they're now more committed to preventing repairs than they are in care of the planet.

    However, it's still only a small step for Right to Repair advocates, due to issues such as the serialization of parts.
