Seizure First Aid. 

A series of images from www.epilepsyfoundation.org titled “Seziure First Aid” with a red cross next to each title. The text on each image shares first aid tips about seizures and are white on a black background, and the bottom of each image has orange text that reads “Join the Fight”. The first aid tips are:

•Keep calm and reassure other people who may be nearby.

•Don’t hold the person down or try to stop his or her movements.

•Time the seizure with your watch.

•Clear the area around the person of anything hard or sharp.

•Put something soft (like a folded sweatshirt) under their head.

•Do not try to force open their mouth with anything hard or your finger!

•Turn the person gently onto one side. This will help keep the airway clear.

•Stay with the person until the seizure has ended naturally.

•Be friendly and reassuring as conciousness returns.

•Offer to call a friend, relative, or taxi to help the person get home if they need assistance.

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.
