Life must be miserable as a lobbyist. You can't speak with any passion or personality, you have to just read off of a sheet of paper that has been given to you. You're basically an empty shell of a human being with no soul...how the fuck do these people look at themselves in the mirror.
I think I would do a great job as an anti-repair lobbyist and I think it would be GREAT fun. I swear to God, sometimes I want to publish videos that say "here is how I would answer this question, and respond to the Senators with a genuine answer from the opposite side." I do this with friends every now and then and it is really fun, but then also it becomes sad, because you realize that people who have been doing this for 30 to 40 years are still so garbage at a junior high school level of debating and public speaking.
I could argue against this bill while citing patriotic tropes in a genuine and authentic manner. I can come off as authentic, without reading from a script, while arguing against it. Sometimes it really is tempting for me to publish videos that say this is what I would say if I was an anti repair lobbyist.
But, I do fear that at some point one of these dodo birds might actually see my video and use it to reproduce what I said effectively, so I don't do this in public. The last thing I want to do is show up to debate myself. :-)
You can't effectively argue what you believe in if you can't flip a coin and argue the other side as well.
@@rossmanngroup DODO BIRDS :DDDDDDD
I would have never expected to see you here
with money sticking out of their ears
Cash is Cash my dude
Last time they gave 3 minutes. This time they specified 1 to 2 minute time limit. Luckily I didn't have to say much, they got the idea and started digging into the lobbyists on their own.
The mug, it is ceramic or glass.. is there an option to get that in something more durable? I know the limits of my pre-coffee dexterity and awareness. Plastic or metal would be preferable. ❤
They also gave you a new employee at 32:44 Owen Rubel
Great job, Louis! Even with the limited time you had you covered a lot, especially the auto zone commercial.
Well done! Appreciate your efforts in seeing this thing through...on your own time and on your own dime...Bravo!
Better vote trump if you wanna keep doing this level repairs.
Notice most if not all of the people trying to block you are all playing on the blue team. Just the truth😎👍
If Apple sold you a house, you'd "actually" only rent it.
And if your key breaks off, you need to purchase either a new door from apple for the price of half a house, or just buy a new house completly.
Also, the key is made of gallium.
We will see Apple Car soon.
Apple released the new iStove. It comes with a set of pots and pans that are compatible only with the iStove. Kinda like how lightning cables are only compatible with Apple products
And if you try to copy the key, the lock throws an error code and locks you out until you contact Apple because there's a secret authorization chip inside the key.
yeah but that's because this is the best way to do this for the environment and it's the cheapest and the safest and... HEY NO YOU CANT VERIFY ANY OF THIS. What we say is law. WE ARE THE CORPORATIONS.
Louis: "You're going to hear this in the opposition"
Opposition: says exactly what Louis warned about.
What is this JOJO episode? Hahaa
That was a colossal inb4.
Someone who mentioned that the skill of taking things apart and learning how to build it back should be passed on to the children is so true.
It is actually a good life skill. Everyone benefits from being able to do minor repairs themselves
Funny how EVERY SINGLE PERSON in opposition to that senate bill was reading straight from their paper and Louis just comes in, nonchalantly talks and shows the amazing advantages of passing this bill and walks away knowing he spoke with passion and confidence. Way to go, Louis!
Unlevshed Exactly!!! It’s as if they create these school papers that talk down to humanity as if they are so high and mighty and have to scare people by saying how dangerous a lithium ion battery is and put us to sleep with their publicist/professional lobbyist bullshit. “Meticulously designed with highest caliber of parts , I’ll connect you with members of our team to tell you why.” “TikTok is why I am against this bill” said Charlie Brown
@@brandondpersonal2988, I think that is because what Louis (and the others on the side of repair) said was simple, straightforward, understandable, and made sense, no questions needed.
What the "other side" read into the record was mostly keywords, buzzwords, and "we know best" attitude. They got questioned.
Definitely felt like humans vs corporate drones.
Listening to the opponents using buzz words and fear tactics while reading off of prepared statements makes me physically sick and wonder how anyone with a pair of brain cells can swallow the load they're spewing like a pron star.
.same as the ifixit chick. ;)
Senator: Hey, here is a legitimate counter-point to what you just said, can you explain why your argument is still valid
Lobbyist: Yes, thank you. Our argument is valid, we'd be glad to go over it with you in more detail in a non-public forum later.
In short " we are going to bribe you behind closed doors "
Dmanplayer723 Literally.
Christ- I mean it is an obvious 'sweep it under the carpet' tactic. What Mr. Charlie Brown is saying is that, despite being a supposed expert of representative of the issue at hand, he has not ONE example that comes to mind. I want to hear his butt wind right now- let it out where everyone can hear it, not behind closed doors.
$$$
We'll connect you with the members of the very lobby that paid for us to be here.... Was that coached too???
When these lobbyists speak my eyes roll so hard they achieve fanspin.
This comment needs more likes! Lol
But hey, we've got fanspin. So that's something!
boys. we have fan spin. do we have green light?
they are always looking down at a piece of paper the entire time
Opposition in a nutshell:
Senator: "I can get my car fixed anywhere. Why is my Iphone different."
Lobbyist: "Can we meet later for backroom deals and campaign donations?"
aka "Robust Conversations."
Danny Watts that’s what they would do
@@MariamShehab Thats gerontocracy for you :c
You realize that they need to provide opposition to see how good or bad his argument is.
The lobbyists are destroying America, not kidding.. USA can't be saved by Trump or anyone with such evil lobbyists.
And I'm not from USA. No stakes.. Just watched the full video
It's interesting to see how they try to move the conversation out of the room: Yes yes we need to change things we can follow up the conversation but don't pass this bill
Just such obvious code for let's make a deal its incredible
Yes, let’s talk about this and take out time over the next 10 years to explain this thoroughly!
And here I was thinking this hearing was exactly where they were supposed to have that conversation.
Love how the Senator was like: Prove it. Prove your copyright risk claim. Call these people on their bluffs!
Silverdogz and the answer was: nothing! Just because there is none and everybody who isn’t paid to deny it realises and acknowledges that🤷🏻♂️
This is why term limits shouldn't exist, we need competent legislators like this to make laws and not have them changed every few years by people with much less competency
@@markwalshopoulos On the flip side, what happens when the elected official is not competent? If we remove term limits we get the situation in the US Senate and Congress where corporations can buy officials for life and dictate how they vote with no repercussions.
@@HikaruXavier you vote them out. Corporate influence is a problem but its quite overstated, people shouldn't be limited from voting for legislators who they like
"Oh we would like to have a more robust conversation with you at a later time"
People for the bill:
Smooth, clear, fluent, passionate.
People against the bill:
Um, ah, and uh lifeless.
They are exceptionally good at talking without saying anything
34:48 Her ending opening comment about "that's how you pronounce 'hacker' when you are testifying in front of a legislative committee." Absolute gold. And her testimony was perfection.
Louis starts speaking at: 15:09 :-)
Thanks!
Not all heros wear capes.
Thank you good sir!
ありがとうございました
Thank you sir! I got back 15:09 minutes of my life.
I love this so much. Democrats and Republicans working together, taking apart these lobbyists. Imagine if this happened in the Federal Government for once
hi! non american here, so feel free to educate me if im wrong! from what i have gathered about the democrats and republicans is that they agree on 90% of issues and can see eye to eye on them but the 10% they disagree on are the only things that are really controversial because theyre emotionally charged topics and it gets people talking about them, so they resort to watching mainstream media to have their opinions swayed one way or the other? these kinds of bills go under the radar because everyone is so focused on things like abortion or gay rights and over time, enough bills like this one have been passed that result in the overall quality of life and the ACTUAL freedoms people have in your country thinning out year by year
Everyone in support: Gives an honest, and credible testimony.
Lobbyists: CTRL + C, CTRL + V
Lobbyists: repair bad, monopoly good
No wait!
Cmd+C, Cmd+V
Cuz apple
Honest and good testimony sadly isn't enough to change anything
Lol
@@thomashuang5053 repair bad replacement good
I love how Louis responded to everything the opposition said before they said it
Louis: "so a mom can replace the brakes on a car but a phone battery is 'too dangerous'? "
Bald guy: "LiThiUmS bAd"
Most idiots don't know car batteries for example contain sulfuric acid
@@heidiaguirre5672 car batteries have nastier chemicals, but lithium batteries fail more energetically. Due to the different casing, a car battery is harder to inadvertently damage and cause to fail; the bigger risk is dropping it on your toe, while an untrained person can easily puncture a pouch type lithium battery (like those typically used in consumer electronics) causing a fire.
Of course none of this is to say people shouldn't be able to repair stuff, just that there is legitimately more risk involved in handling lithium batteries. I use them all the time for RC aircraft (pouch types taped together and wrapped with heat shrink), and there's way more risk of puncturing one in a crash than while replacing an iPhone screen.
you forgot, "...mmmKay..."
Jacob Alexander I can physically attest to your statement about car batteries, I had one actually vent. It caused a car fire and there was only 15 minutes from the smell of sulfur till it vented with no other warning. It just failed on its own. No puncture needed.. get what I’m saying? It’s not as uncommon as you’d think either.
Hate to say it and it will most likely seem dumb, but: GUNS
Repair Folks: real stories, real issues, actual evidence.
Industry Folk: non-answers, vuage anecdotal responses and stories.
Pft, these people got crushed by the Senators.....
Don't you know Tik Tok is the most dangerous threat cyber security.
The industry guests were just sent by associations that represent groups of companies. They don’t have the technical knowledge or specific company knowledge to answer anything. If industry wanted to answer questions they would’ve sent more than just a few brainless talking heads
The difference is that they have money.
That is how any bureaucracy is. Im in nursing school and did a grade grievance (which means i showed evidence to support my answer to a test question with hopes that I could increase my grade and pass the program). And after all of my evidence the nursing professors on the panel said “its not our policy to give points back” and thats all it took for me to lose after I gave 2 and a half hours of evidence and a month of work. Literally all bureaucracies are built to give those in power the ability to win without evidence. They are built to make the person who was wronged feel heard and then ultimately overruled.
That’s what happens when the boss is listening in. Lobbyists frightened of slipping up in case their $$$$$$$$$ salaries get removed.
Ayyy my boy the senator talking about his XBOX
They didn't even address his question.
That's because PR people don't have answers. If the tech companies actually wanted a discussion, they would send experts instead of throwing money at the lawmakers.
They probably think an Xbox is a quantum computer
For some reason it seems right in the cosmos that the senator that brings up his Xbox is from Bothell.
Ah, Bothell. Donuts, crows, and gamer senators. What a place to be.
@@kevinarzola4781 "that SUPERCOMPUTER that you have in your hands that you call an iPhone..."
Did you hear about scary lithium ion batteries and the cyberhackers in the deep dark webz n shet?
Scary right??? Don't wanna fix your own phone.
Hearing the word X-Box be said so casually and the fact that a senior HAS an x-box is SOOOO cool to me
LOL the dude isnt a senior lmao. Hes late 30s early 40s. You must be literally 12
@@TheAceTroubleshooterBuddy, he tried to write senator and it auto corrected it. That's pretty obvious.
@@Smos233 ...that does make more sense. However, sounding like a literal child didnt do me any favors there guy
@@TheAceTroubleshooter Well, if they are a child, good on them for paying attention to important issues. Better then spending time on TikTok.
HEre here!@@Smos233
I absolutely LOVE the fact that you got to testify before Kersul. Your “solution without a problem” comments completely took the wind out of her attempting to say it.
Bravo I say good sir.
Proof they are fucking robots only saying what was dictated to them. Any thinking being would see how humiliating it is to say that right after Louis ripped that bs apart.
@@davidg4612 My thoughts exactly. They can ONLY say what's in the script, anyone else would have had the good sense to have called an audible here (to borrow a football term) and made a change on the play.
@@davidg4612 "read the lawyers the statement gang"
"We look forward to more ROBUST CONVERSATIONS". That exchange was just really bazaar. Is that lobbyist speak for "I bought you, don't ever again make me look like a fool". "No more TRIBUTE at next election time".
Louis, If they allow you to add more testimony in writing, you may want to include the info on farmers and their DMCA tractors. That might hit a nerve since Washington state does have a large farming community...Washington Apples, etc.
I agree with this! The whole thing with IP is dumb when it comes to legitimate repair!
OMG was his real name Charlie Brown???
what timestamp for that?
@@Quenry check around 18:00
I believe Washington also tops idaho for potatoes and is a world leader in onions
Senator: "I understood that if I buy something, its mine. Why do I have some kind of lasting obligation to go back to you for repairs etc."
Dude on panel: "well we're educating the future generation and its amazing"
god these people should wear dance shoes to these with how they dance around the questions.
I wish these representatives would call the lobbyist out when they answer like that. "So, you have no idea, so you're just going to throw word salad at us?"
I'm confused, are you against these people appealing the bill...? If so, why...?
@@LogicKidroy I'm for the passing of the bill because no industry should have a monopoly on their repairs / parts. It promotes shady pricing and practices with product development. Plus the 100,000 other reasons like promoting jobs and education through availability in training / parts / tinkering / etc.
@@JDickson81 word salad :D
"Well, we're educating the future generation and it's amazing."
So why do you get to be the only one's educating future generations? The same question can still be applied to the same irrationality. It's a Monopoly and they know it.
The lobbyists had some of the most punchable faces I've seen a long time especially that first guy
Hey Louis I was from Washington and want to thank you for coming here and taking a stand for the right to repair. It's a shame that we have these paid script reading actors (the lobbyists) trying to take our rights away.
Traitors to Humanity.
Kill them. That's the only way anyone will solve these problems. It's going to be way too late when people realize that. Everyone wants to just "talk" but look how far it gets you in this world to just "talk". Nasty and harsh reality.
@@cykablyat7393 actual caveman
@@tokyomobster3072 actual realist. Talking to politicians is like talking to a wall. You'll think about it harder when you're living in a socialist country one day; wondering why things are they way they are... No one stood up for anything. They'll take your speech, your guns, your right to property. They'll take everything if you let them. No one made any progress here.
@@cykablyat7393 that is not a reason to kill someone.
It's like buying a car with the hood welded shut, and if a belt breaks you have to get a new engine. Said engine will also cost $20,000, so just buy this year's model as a replacement.
Well car manufacturers design cars to be hard to work on now like apple does it phones, my 85 RX7 is the easiest fucker to work on I have no issues replacing key components, Mazda literally provided a book on how to FIX YOUR CAR, what tools you need and how to get replacement parts, now you arent allowed to swap out your Alternator without voiding warranty
@@0Synergy agreed. I have a 2005 Yamaha YZ125 motocross bike and the manual is freaking awesome! I don't have to go to 3rd party sources for replace or repair, the Yamaha manual has everything available, down to torque on each nut and bolt to the engine compression ratio. All at my disposal. Freedom of information without violating the integrity of their copyrighted parts and build. Competition is the heart of soul of innovation and growth.
wow that's the best augment

@@0Synergy I guess that depends on your use of the bike. On road or off road?
Q: "Do I own this device or am I renting it?"
A: "Yes we should be teaching our kids about computers"
Dude should be a politician.
He is one, Lobbysists are 9 times out of 10 a former congressman’s Aide. They’re the one that write the speeches and do the PR for politicians. The reason they become lobbyists is because the politicians pay their lobbyists a starving wage, and the lobby group comes in and offers multiple 6 figure salaries.
Timestamp?
@@MrsKwan-fz6mf It's at 29:38 - I unconsciously started pounding my head listening to him divert so poorly and obviously. Diversion like this should be immediately stopped and the initial question should be reiterated seeing as responses are so short and valuable. Then again, a response like this is as good as admitting the opposition just got dunked on, but even so, censored responses still devalues true discussion.
That was an amazing reply ... apples and oranges 😂😂🤦🏻♂️ i was so happy when that guy hit the spot with renting devices and the answer became about teaching kids 😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️ amazing
@@ProsixOfficial maybe he was backhandedly saying they want to 'educate' kids to accept their repair process so that questions like this, from thinking people, no longer arise. If they can pre-implant the idea that this is how it should be, in young impressionable minds, there will be no room for such questions.
I had no idea this was an ongoing issue. We need to spread the word and rally support for SB 5799. I own my devices, not leasing them.
I can't believe manufacturing firms actually have the audacity to try to prevent us from repairing our stuff. This is way over the top
If you fix something that's broken then you won't buy a new one from them.
But "muh copyright", knowing full well the Chinese rip us off every day 😆
So we can't fix a broken screen and keep our memory.
Do not buy those Brands
@@LexaLite "muh copyright", when they literally already use chinese assembly lines to build their iphones.
The chinese already have all the knowledge and parts they need.
But even they know that people only buy apple for the Logo, the product itself is just pure shit...
@@Robin93k That's so fucking true. People but brands more than anything else. Yeah some people go for the knockoff because of money issue but most don't.
Leave it to the Rossmann for getting me to spend 41 minuets watching a hearing instead of doing literally anything else.
@Not Sure nice name btw
- I don't even live in the US, and still watched the hearing...
- Why?
- We can talk about it later after the hearing
My gf: I found this panty under your bed. It's not mine!
Me: I do look forward to having more robust conversations about this
@Allie X Oh shut up and take a joke.
@Allie X Your reply made me want to say something nasty about men just to see how you react, don't get baited if someone else does it
we need you to speak with some of our experts in supply chain management
Women aren't funny.
Lmaoooo
Group 1: for, no questions asked.
Group 2: against, no questions answered.
I love that Louis doesn't need to read squat, everything he says comes out of his heart and has been said inside his head a thousand times before so he needs no rehearsal
When you know what you are talking about and not just making stuff up, you tend to speak like that. Also, Louis actually cares about the situation, he's go my full respect.
While I’m definitely sure he could do that he said in one of his random live streams on the other channel the night before that he was planning on rehearsing for this. (Which there is nothing wrong with)
he thinks he's a badass which is hilarious how cringe it is... smh
I don't think he actually helped his own cause, his response was quite technical to the layman and the senators eyes glazed over, note the eerie silence when asked if there was any questions. No one was game for fear of looking stupid. Not getting questions means they didn't understand.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering they asked questions. Only from the lobbyists against the bill because the committee understands all of those people are full of shit. Everyone here is talking about oil changes, brake pads, screens, fans and batteries except the lobbyists. Not tick tock, hacking, national security threats, jailbreaks, etc. Watch "Thank You For Smoking" if you haven't seen it and want a good laugh at how these people work.
15:08 - Louis Rossmann - Support this guy, he's fighting for the rights of the consumer and for the rights of electronic repair businesses. 👍
As a android fanand a none apple user, definitely support this, apple charges alot for repairs, it's good to know someone out there that willing to fix them cheap without erasing data from apple devices.
I wonder why people just DON'T STOP BUYING Apple's bullshit.
They know they fuck them up at every little chance they have and yet they go and throw their money at them.
I have never bought an Apple product, yet I had the chance to try some devices from friends of mine. Horrible, horrible devices!
There's plenty Android devices over there to do as much and more as you can with an Apple one.
@@CesarDemi81 Wrong you can actually do more with an iPhone, IF you jailbreak it. I own a Mac and it's pretty great, never had any problems with it and it's almost 8 years old, I run windows on it and use it for gaming. And I run software from 2013 on both my Mac and iPhone and I don't have any issues.
So being able to do what most Android phones are able to do without even rooting is "do more"? Hmmm, weird concept. I think it's part of "Think different"...
Examples
People with souls: So, why can’t we just repair our devices?
Lobbyists: We would love to bribe you in private please...
Fuck capitalism
So, how deep are their pockets. We will soon find out. Or perhaps they (Apple) already accepted that the bill would pass and are planning countermeasures.
@@tophatv2902 you do realize that this bill is pro-capitalism.... right? The whole point of it is to destroy a developing monopoly that these companies have over repairs. The discussion over this bill is to allow companies to suppress the individual repair market in favor of their monopolistic approach to repairing their products. Rossman group EXISTS thanks to capitalism... this bill is being discussed thanks to the competitive spirit of capitalism.
When you say "fuck capitalism" your saying you don't want freedom of choice, good service, good products, and customer focused market competition... in what world, outside of capitalistic, do you think that device in your hand would even exist?
@@tophatv2902 Corrupt government isn't really the fault of capitalism, big companies are just posed to take the most advantage of whatever corruption exists.
@@persis2223 Teah and I like this bill but this whole monopoly could have been prevented if the company had a more fair system in which people could vote. co-ops exist and I want more of them and I'm not against the bill.
"Do you have any example of repairshops stealling intellectual property?"
"To answer this question i have to make up a couple of words real quick so that you have no idea what i'm talking about so that I won't have to no for an answer"
The ultimate irony of all of this is the self built PC universe. It basically disproves /everything/ these lobbyists say.
They act like a loose power cable will reenact Chernobyl
I agree there. I had a GTX 970 on it's death bed when the fans leaked bearing oil and stopped working. $12 for a new fan and it kept going for another 2 years. Much cheaper than buying a new one, also I didn't have to wait to RMA the card which would have costed more in shipping than the fan and I got to keep the original product without having someone else's refurbished one.
If u are talking about just putting together graphics card, cpu, psu etc. I hv to disagree since these part are manufactured to be put together by the consumer (or a third party). For repairing a phone is significantly harder than building a pc. But anyway the fact that people even argue about sb 5799 is pathetic, u should be able to repair what you want to repair
Shhhhhhh! Don't let the word get out to Apple fanboys that people can actually build their own PC...even the cheapest of which will run circles around an Apple product.
Jack Burns bro mad respect you actually made me laugh with this comment
Senator: 'Do I own my phone?'
Lobbyist: 'Technolody is amayzing'
If you read the fine print, you probably don't own your Apple phone. Or you might own it but we own all the rights to everything on it. Kind of like buying a car, but the dealer has the sole right to drive it.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering Kind of like fucking over your own customer base.
Functionally you don’t because they have the right to effectively brick or reduce the effectiveness of your phone with little to no oversight
You own the hardware, but not A, B, C, .... X, Y or Z aspects of that hardware, nor do you own the software that runs on it. Also that software can delete itself whenever they decide, lol.
I didnt realize Louis was an advocate trying to change the world by appearing at hearings. I thought he just made titles and videos against Apple for views and nothing more. Louis you gained a lot of respect from me. This changes everything and how I view you and your channel now. I'll be watching your videos a lot more now. Keep up the good work and hopefully with your help you will change the world and how things are done.

Read: behind closed doors so we can influence you.
@@zeejenkins in fact it's the opposite. If you only have one repair shop, then they can do whatever they want and you can't retaliate. Having options increases the quality of repairs overall
@@Anon.G Did you intend to reply to me? I am in agreement with you. Maybe I didn't articulate that correctly. Or maybe capitalism wasn't the right word. I intended to imply that if a shop did a shitty repair nobody would go there if people had more options.
Apple: "That'll be $1000 for a repair."
Louis: "That'll be $20 for a repair."
Who do you want to repair your electronics?
Also adding to your point. Louis is the type of guy who SHOWS you proof of the problem and PROOF of the repair, unlike crapple.
Plus we include a free wipe of your data with the $1,000 repair that is not optimal!!!
$1000 for a repair : and
Misdiagnosis.
$20 for repair : Excaltly the hitspot of the problem.
Apple: Now I gotta redesign my everything to stop you from repairing your purchased product.
This is the point.
Apple(main & branches & subsidiaries) are not allowed to do that.
Apple: "Here you go $100.000 each just don't apply the SB 5799 ok?"
Louis: "Right to repair, $0 bribery!!!"
Who do you think they will favor more?
Louis will do a better job too. I remember that one video he had to reattach a connector the apple bar guys didn't reconnect right in a macbook.
Shill: "OH NO, but what about security!? We only use secure screws and secure glue and secure sticky tape, how would a street mongrel know how to fix it without compromising all our security!?"
especially if you can hack any phone with internet access without even touching the screws :D
use of [insert boogeyman]: "tik tok installed on your phone"
**gasp**
China! Cyber security!
If a street mongrel can open your device despite the secure screws, secure glue and secure sticky tape, then your security is already compromised.

When was this said
Sebastian Wagenblast 22:10 by Katheryn Gunter.
My exact reaction. The f$%k is she talking about.

The object is not to repair your broken device but rather to sell you a new one. That way, they don't have to actually train or support any real technicians and they are happy because they pocket all the profet from a new device at your expense.
I cheered, at my desk when the guy said "do I own this phone?" hes so right, I'm happy to see our government officials actually standing up for the people

People against the bill: huuuummmm, mmmmm, eeeeeeh
I'm sorry it would seem we need to have a rather long and drawn out robust conversation about this at another future time. *cue sweating bullets*
Like o said before, they're professional uhm sayers
In previous hearings we have had “Ummers” on the pro repair side. I think the fact that we had none this time speaks to how purely logical the position is. No mental gymnastics required to understand “Sell me a battery so that I can fix a device for my customer. No, batteries do not spontaneously combust. Except for the OEM ones that Apple is recalling for the Retina 2015 15” that they installed themselves. Oh, and the MagSafe power adapters they sell where the cable housing shreds itself. Wait... who is lighting stuff on fire again?”
That’s because they only got a script with their check. They have no clue about the bill other than “the guy that paid me doesn’t like it, so I don’t either
So much respect for the work you and your peers are doing to make this a reality! Thank you for fighting for our rights!
My budd ycalled me a couple of years back about his MacBook Pro 2012 i think was the model year. Apple said he needed a logic borard for like a thousand or so dollars. I pooped it open to find the SSD cable was shot 35$ repair he still uses it today.

that robust conversation is like offering money to the senates…fuck corporates filth
Lets have a "robust conversation" means "Here is a gift of $50,000 for your re-election efforts. Please vote down xxx-Bill."
ya, he speaks like someone who really has the consumer at heart haha. get out of here haha.
You planted the seed of, " hey, do i really own this phone?" Into the minds of these people. It merely took one of their peers to recognize that.
Every little bit counts
Lobbyist: "Here's why you shouldn't allow this"
Senator: "How is that a valid argument"
Lobbyist: "Let's not talk about that today"
How in the name of me does that even work?
The answers from the lobbyist pisses me off. I'm like "That was the whole fucking point of this meeting. To talk about it! This is literally the best time and place for that conversation"
It's so people like us don't rip into their argument, and so that the lobbyists can... pay for this new project that the senator wanted, or other money exchanging ideas during our robust conversations. (pure speculation, all my opinion)
Money. Or more accurately, campaign donations, sweet parties, and 'gifts'

It just wont happen though, Its not a nationwide issue for everyone to be on board, and frankly alot of people are happy to pay a few thousand to fix their little shitty MacBook

She grinned speaking that nonsense
@@c._nda The best part about that argument to me is that, even if it is true it is almost certainly because it is compared with the money they would make if the consumer simply purchased a new item, and therefore it is actually exactly the reason why the legislation IS needed... to give them an incentive to a) actually innovate rather than simply iterate and b) to prevent them from profiting from the poor standard of their product.
I mean the explanation for all these shenanigans is that overpriced repairs/spare parts are simply another source of income for the manufacturer

jon gerbergerdecht They think that they’ve won and can push legislators and consumers around with their wallets. They can’t. We just have to take collective action to tell our legislators across the country that they aren’t getting re-elected unless they address our concerns.

That was exactly my thinking too...what poor Souls are we, that we've created the term "e-waste" at all.
Fun fact Africa doesn’t have land fill they’re just dumped. Then the poor people over there burn all the e waste looking for precious metal that the big company’s buy back for cheap. Don’t believe me? Look it up it’s on TH-cam and it’s quite sad how bad the pollution is over there.
@@Gorilazz. Oh they have dumps just poor people just live in them.
Washington state actually has quite an advanced electronics recycling program. I'm a recycler in oregon and we toured washington's largest e-recycling plant. All the disassembly is done by hand, then the parts are shredded and sorted by giant machines via magnets and air jets. That being said, recycling takes significantly more resources than repair does. Its better than nothing but repair/reuse is a better solution
Africa converts the waste into natural resources. They also have chocolate milk rivers that people drink out of straight from the source.
Thank you Louis!
Lobbyist: “There is a real threat to the digital privacy of our products”

They cant think on their own, they have to say exactly whats written on those papers by the corporations, and that paper dont contain any response to the questions.
It truly is a threat and most people don't care. They want affordability of service. Privacy/security is a double edged sword though. It will always come down to can Alice trust Bob.
save privacy doesnt really work in repair environment. be it original company or independent. because you already hand it over with the data. and they call it save if they delete everything makes no sense. they could just as well copied every data then delete it.
so returning it with or without data. is all the same.
i can understand the part about digital piracy of game, and hindering them. but isnt that a software problem rather than hard ware?
Shinron Vaynex I'd prefer a bill that required Tech company employees to be more knowledgeable of their own products. I mean nurses doctors state vehicle inspectors and many other professionals require some kind of certification to hold a job in their field. Why not make it mandatory that the people handling our most intimate pieces of technology at least have a sound understanding of that device's hardware and software integration.
I've seen a grown man get thrown 20 feet in the air because he took a tire off a tractor trailer and released the bead on it in an incorrect way and the tire iron he was using to seperate the tire from the rim dented a sheet metal wall and could have easily killed someone.
These lobbyists somehow think repairing a phone is as dangerous as changing a tire.....
i want to be up front, I'm with you on the idea that what their saying is nonsense
The argument they Want to use is "an incorrectly handled Li-ion battery has the capability and history of expanding, exploding, starting a fire, and spraying hot acid everywhere, causing serious injury, damage, and maybe death."
The problem with that argument, to the people who have touch a Li-ion battery for longer than 10 seconds, is that it is a hell of a lot harder to blow up a battery than, like in you're example, blow up a tractor tire. a Li-ion battery blows up (generally, please point out more reasons if i'm off the mark) because you short the battery to itself and the current fucks the internals, the substance that holds the charge hyper-expands in the presence of current it's not designed to handle, and blows. but Li-ion batteries that are constructed with repair in mind with always be shielded in a manner to prevent this horror-case and any instruction (no really, any instruction, doesn't matter what level. Be it DoD, AASP, Big Tech company repair squad, i don't care.) for changing the Li-ion batteries in anything that HAS that kind of battery is going to include a big fat "IF THE SHIELDING IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, DO NOT USE THIS BATTERY" warning.
So, if the information for that kind of repair were available, in a sense that fits the spirit of Right to Repair, then the concern they are espousing become moot immediately. Almost like the designers of Li-ion batteries already addressed this hazard and distributed safety instruction at every level of Manufacture, Assembly, and Repair.
So yeah, you're absolutely right, anyone trying to point to Li-ion batteries as the reason common Americans should be scared to change their own fucking batteries are out of touch and trying to sell you on a con.
Listen man I've personally seen a apple laptop battery explode throwing a man 28,000 feet into the atmosphere where he got sucked into the engine of an airliner which subsequently crashed into a nuclear power plant which then melted down and exploded destroying 1000 square miles of farmland that subsequently led to a huge famine that caused over 22 million deaths. Dem battery's are no joke. It's too dangerous for simple people to repair such sophisticated technology. You have to have a apple genius trained from birth to work on it.

At 32:26 TVW made an error: They identified Owen Rubel (one of the original Amazon Kids) as working for Rossmann Group. ..
I was confused by that initially
Rossman repair group is growing more powerful
Most definitely the most articulate one there. Great opening statement as well.
I myself am a washingtonian and am pretty glad to see that Louis was willing to come out here to fight for this.
Is "I'd love to connect you with..." code for "Can we take you out to a steak house and strip club to change your mind?"
I hope he gets strip club money Everytime his stuff needs genius bar to overcharge him .
Did this guy seriously talk about having a security “compromise” when you go to uncertified repair shops?! This entire device is supported by buying and selling out data in order to sell us thing by tracking what we do on it. *facepalm
which minute?
Not just what you do on it the record you at all times and present you with ads tailored to what you were talking about
@Kali Southpaw You can pass a law for privacy protection bill so that no large/small business can jeopardize your information period, after the phone is yours and you revive it anyway suits you best under safety/registered technician. Which brings me to my next point, we need technicians with a license to repair so that small business can compete and growth can be engaged on our economy. That's what America is all about, competition equals growth.
@Kali Southpaw and who are the manufacturers to judge who i deem trustworthy?
