No, but all jokes aside, I am sincerely SO sorry for ghosting this account and for anyone I worried or hurt. I’d like to explain myself.

One of my posts (the “boomer memes” post) got really popular, and because of that I got an influx of attention, some good and some not so great, that I wasn’t prepared for. Alongside that I slid into a really deep depression (completely unrelated to the post, don’t worry mean messages from a post wouldn’t be enough to make me depressed lol) and I just…couldn’t find the energy or will to post anything. And as the days and weeks and months continued, I felt less and less like I could come back and explain myself to potentially angry and upset people.

But I really want to do the right thing and officially apologize to anyone who feels like I wronged them or ghosted them or worried them. It was never my intention and I am so sorry.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs

Have a friend with that problem

Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.
