No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

      We’re not at the computronium age yet, but as technology progress, that’s the eventuality. As such, repair shops’ attempt to rally clueless regulators to put in right to repair law is merely getting in the way and slowing down the inevitability.

        the ability to repair may or may not grow with the ability to manufacture, but there is no reason to assume it will not.

        when we reach your magical future, the right to repair may be represented as DRM installed on your replicator unit which prevents your replicator from repairing a device unless you take it to an Authorized Apple Technician, or it might be represented as nothing because nothing is actually repairable. But assuming your version of the world is absolute fact on the time scale of 100 years is absolutely ridiculous.
