You know what scares the hell out of corporations? People like me. We replace the wonky rubber harmonic balancers with aluminum ones, we replace phone batteries using a heat gun to remove the screen, we replace capacitors in 90’s era Walmart CD players because it still works.
We are the anti consumers. We fix what you throw away. We will build our future golden city with the refuse from your broken appliances.
We are the future and it terrifies the consumer corporations.
I used to think that, as a tinkerer. Sorry for being jaded.
Then I got real into maker studios and all formed the same opinion: WE, the tinkerers, are a blip to companies that mass produce garbage. Apple used a fraction of a fraction of their budget to stop iRepair. And they’re one of the biggest players.
Samsung/Amazon is huge and they don’t care. Hell, they’ll even sell the parts, as long as you buy it from them.
As long as we consume, they don’t care if we set it on fire or make it work forever. They’ll keep poisoning the world for profits.
