Phillip Branham actually even rand() doesn’t generate truly random numbers. It takes a number called a “seed” and runs it through a fancy algorithm that produces numbers from it. If you use the same seed every time you get the same result every time. By default however the seed is usually the machine’s current time, and since time is constantly changing, it results in a number that appears to be random.

You need to get ifixit to show up when you do. Then there's more than just you to make solid statements to shoot down the false statements made by the lobbyists. I'm a bit surprised they haven't done so without my saying the above.
Honestly I think its be better if his fans just start showing up at their own states and talk as an everyday consumer. This might be more of a numbers game. Hell I myself could talk about working multiple jobs at one point and I didnt have the time or the money to wait 2 weeks for repairs and pay 90% of the item price every time something breaks.
@@levelupirl4131 that is decently the way to go. Also prior or post the bill being motioned people can make an appointment to speak with their representative if they can not make it to the hearing on that date
Louis, with the greatest respect for the outstanding work you are doing, I think that you are not offended, but OUTRAGED, just as any of us who want to fix our stuff should be. Keep on keeping the lobbyists and politicians honest!!
“That wire makes it a pc and you’re lying about how it’s not a pc by saying it’s a Mac” You take your Bugatti Chiron to a workshop to get fixed, they fix it by adding a new part, is it still a Bugatti Chiron? *yes.* Are they lying to you by calling it a Bugatti Chiron now? *no.* So why is it any different for a Mac?
PinHookEast bruh, for one, unnecessary quotes, two, did you not watch the video, one guy says this, three, this isn’t about cutting it up and selling it as the same brand, this is about fixing something of a brand and giving it back to the person *functioning* if a tiny wire fixes a MacBook, it’s still a MacBook the same goes for my example of a Bugatti Chiron, you get a filter replaced and it’s not by the original manufacturer, it’s still the same fucking car you’ve just got what you paid for finally up to scratch again, it’s not any more or less the car you bought Now apply that logic to a tiny wire, you still get what you paid for and it’s working, it’s still a fucking MacBook, go cry in a hole you apple fanboy
@PinHookEast Except this was an argument made by actual lobbyists. That replacing a wire would turn a Mac into a PC. Is your reading/listening comprehension so low or are you intentionally being disingenuous?
Fun fact: the term "PC" stands for "Personal Computer." What that means is any computer being used for personal reasons (I.E. the computer, laptop, tablet, even smartphone that you "own"). By definition, the iMac in your house (and any Apple devices that you carry on your person) is a PC, a "Personal Computer." :)
our world is turning into Orwell 1984 , the very defintion of the words and notion of what is good, bad or wrong is getting corrupted. More and more people is getting sick of this behaviours. Believe me, you are not alone. Keep up the fight
Turning? Come to uk, it's already here. Our government are already telling us to not believe what we see and believe them, look at who won the election and how they won. London is already having face recognition cameras installed.
After hearing the lawyer for CompTIA I've been reconsidering the renewal status of my certifications. It's two-faced in this regard; on one hand giving credential to people in the computer service and repair industry while stabbing them in the back by making their profession illegitimate. Thank you, Louis, you're an inspiration.

I think state representatives should ask two questions for all testimonies and ensure it is captured in some official record: - How does this bill hurt or help your constituents? - Do you or your constituents gain monetarily by opposing or supporting this bill impact or hurt you or your constituents? If so, how? I feel like these two questions would get to the true intent of what lobbyists and bad actors are truly there for and what they gain. Of course they could lie, but being a part of an official records definitely up the ante of it coming back to haunt them later. Regardless, leveraging TH-cam and other solical platforms to show how our government is being bought and American citizens are being blatantly lied to. Keep recording brother! You are a TRUE American hero!
Sophistry is a skill, and one that is suprisingly well paid. I am also glad you recognize the difficulty politicians face in deciding a myriad of technical issues. Too often people accuse representatives of being stupid, or incompetent, or incapable (or all three!). As always, some of that is true. But the fact is, most deal with so many different issues that it's simply impossible to independently come to a conclusion for every issue. You've gotta be the change you want to see, so I applaud you for making it happen.
Actually they are, todays politicians aren't built as sturdy and good as the older models were, and this is not a US problem, it is world wide actually. Hell! All of us are less smarter today than we were before, if you haven't set up an old computer for an example, when you had to figure out the IRQ and all that stuff, you were on your own and had to do it, put somebody in the same task today without internet support and they will not be able to get it going at all.
@@CMDRSweeper @ethan forgot to mention corrupt in his list of adjectives describing politicians. Even if they start off with good intentions they are soon seduced by the opportunities available to enrich themselves. @CMDR Sweeper Even the old politician were as bad/corrupt as the ones of today. Just look at the Teapot Scandal if you have doubts.
That's supposed to be the point of a Representative Republic though. All of the citizens can't know all of the issues in depth, so we vote for and pay the salaries of people who we trust will spend their time understanding these things. If they can't do that, then they've failed. There's nothing stopping them from typing R2R into google or youtube and becoming educated.
@@brandonwc There is. They only have so much time, and while you may care a lot about this one issue, I doubt it's the only one they have to look at. The amount of time they have to "educate themselves" by drinking in whatever random questionable information from the internet is the amount of time they have to do their job divided by how many issues they have to consider. I'm sure they have home lives as well and aren't working 24/7 minus sleep time. In any case, I was going to say it sounds like even if they mean well, they're in a position somewhat similar to youtubers. It's only a matter of time before you have "offers" that might not be what you envisioned doing, but help pay the bills.. or are just too hard to pass up. A lot of people can't stop from eating themselves fat, so how much can we really expect with stuff like this?
Thanks for taking the time to not only show up to all these hearings, but to produce significant amounts of content broadcasting what's going on. People like you are the ones that can drive change.
I sent a letter to Pennsylvania about the right to repair they sent me a letter back that pretty much said F-Off!!! I really hope all the effort you are putting into this gets this bill passed! It almost makes a person want to leave the USA.
Yep, I've noticed it in every corner of every industry. Consumers used to have more power, what little power they did have is being taken away little by little every day and legislatures are paid to turn a blind eye or lobby for it. They use the excuse that they're doing it to keep consumers safe but they're only doing it to line their fat leather wallets.
Congratulations from a fellow repairer from Spain. I am also sick of the face politics give to people when campaining regarding climate change and such, and then how our repair work is not promoted, we get no help, we need to pay sky high taxes (full VAT here in Spain and all around Europe) and the truth is that they would like us to plainly dissapear. Thanks for your GREAT WORK. Keep on going!!!
You know what my boss would say to you? "There's a queue of desperate people outside our gates, ready to replace your insubordinate ass at a moment's notice", and you know what's funny? He's right.
Thank you for continuing to bring this to light. I like to approach videos with an open mind and always try to see both sides of the story before making my own decision. Ive been watching your videos as well reading up on this bill. I still don't understand how this was ever passed; but like I said bringing this to light is the greatest weapon. It honestly doesn't take a "genius" to see the wrong in all this and to see who is profiting from this. Just wanted to say thank you and you have my support.
20:23 That part about cleaning up your part of the world was the most inspirational thing I've seen in a long time. Holy shit. Keep up the good work man!
Hi Louis I'm from Europe and I just wanted to thank You for this fight, because Right to repair should be international and global. We need more people like You who are willing to expose all the BS corporations claim just to maximize their income (and with no actual regard for customers safety, well-being or the state of environment) . So again - Thank You and keep doing what You do. Wish You all the best!
If only it were possible for you to team up with the cybersecurity expert you linked to recently, it would be a tag-team match of the AGES. Thank you for your tireless efforts sir.
I think it has to do with the rules of order used by the US government, both at the Federal and local level. When voting or discussing a movement, those in favor vote/speak first and those opposed go second.
It's annoying that the bullshitters always get to go second so you can't directly call out everything they said that was untrue. You have to try to psychically predict and address their bullshit ahead of time because of this system, which doesn't always work out well, lol. I've seen Louis try to call out the common arguments ahead of time and watch the legislators sometimes forget what they heard previously by the time the lobbyist shills come out to speak. People tend to remember what they hear towards the end of a thesis or overall discussion more than they remember the middle. It's the same they teach you when writing a paper in English/literature class. Always put your strongest arguments at the end. The lobbyists conveniently always get that slot, unfortunately.
Nice going Louis. Make them clear what the reality of things are. Greetings from a 54 year old guy from the Netherlands who is a voluntary handyman for 2 social institutions and understand the problem to not be able to repair things because of big companies doing business in a way to make it harder and harder just to keep those at the top happy at the cost of normal and needy people. My 'respect' for the effort to try to make a change and the way you do this.
Bless you, Louis. You're not just working for the right to repair, but you're giving hope to guys like me who thought the system is broken beyond repair and that the majority of people in any political position must be corrupt in some way. Your videos show me that the people who are actually responsible for making these laws are genuinely trying to do the right thing with what little information that comes around in their realm. We as a people need to be more involved with politics. The problem is obvious. Lack of public influence resulting in over representation of corporate interests just because regular guys don't show up.
It really frustrates me, how they misrepresent the difficulty, the expertise needed, to do basic repairs on eg. an iPhone. Or various farming machines. Anyone with two reasonably functional eyes and a few appropriate tools can do it. You just need to pay proper attention to the fragile nature of some of the parts. Not because else you'll die a horrible death, but to avoid damaging some of the more fragile components inside (of your own property) in the process, that didn't need fixing / replacing. And, pay close attention to how the thing comes apart, to make sure you put it back together again correctly once you've done what you set out to do. Of course some repairs are much more complex than that, requiring more skill but mostly more equipment and information - but it's no more superspecialsecret skill and work, than what the guys and gals down at your local street car tuning shop does. Some of them might have taken a couple of courses to quickly get on top of brand new/emerging tech - but most of what they do, they too learn "hand to mouth", and by sharing tips, skills and information with other techs like them on the internet. A little "secret": Most of these kinds of techs, be it auto tuning, phone and computer repair etc - they have neither manufacturer approved certifications nor formal education in what they do. They learned by doing, sharing information with likeminded people, and doing their own information research. And they are the best at their trades by far.
I want to thank you for taking the time to do all these hearings and making whats effectivly an online revolution happen. I dont live in the US, but I know for a fact that the changes over there will affect everyone worldwide. And your 2 minutes contribute to making the world a more fair place.
timeslot may be too short and also the equipment (especially soldering iron or hot air gun) would probably be not allowed as they are dangerous weapons
How about just changing a battery. Choose the easiest iPhone to do it on and demonstrate the pull tab that *Apple* put on it to make battery removal easier so even an untrained private iPhone owning citizen can do it.
I had a look at a few of the hearings and it seems like that the "for" people always present before the "against". maybe you should go to the next hearing and demand to go second. This also gives you a chance to call BS on the lobbyists right there.
Great video Louis. I believe your correct that Washington state will be the first to pass this bill. Nice to meet you guys. Come back to Washington and visit we have a beautiful state. Keep up the great work.
I understand how it feels when ppl BS n lies about tech. Some ppl just go with the flow or follow what they are told to do without verifying. It can be quite frustrating.

Can we get these recordings of the hearings off the government website, and onto TH-cam? Are they in some sort of the public domain? If so, this public showing of the lobbyists can be done a bit more easily, with simple re-uploads. The next challenge would be getting a commentary community revolving around the hearing recordings. Then use the social media tools in place to encourage a self-feeding machine of public ridicule and commentary, influencing creators with views and commenters with likes. Anyone got Ethan Klein's phone number?
@@Antyvas Also could use ThinkSpot for the commenting. They may pay more attention to an actual social media than a web browser plug-in. Dependent on how influential the audience of the two are.

Yes, yes it is.
Respect.
Louis, I am not even an american citizen, but I truly appreciate the clearly significant effort you are putting into this fight for the right to repair: obviously, what you are doing is very important for the world at large, not only the U.S.A.
Not having the possibility of personally doing the same you do, I feel the least I can do to contribute is to spend the time necessary to watch each and everyone of your videos on the subject and fight those bastards vicariously.
I changed the starter on my car the other day and now I can hack any honda.

@@tone_bone Now you know why the big companies are scared that when you repair something, you might turn it into a lemon. Like, that easily, as in they were that close to being lemons when they came off the line in the first place. Pffft.
You make me so happy dude! Greetings from an ex-New Yorker in Europe!
Thank you for being an everyday superhero. We the sheeple have been at the mercy or a system we haven’t been able to change for far too long. We all know that this is how dirty capitalism works, and we’ve almost given up because they keep us busy or distracted. Nice to see some stopgaps like you holding back the tide.
"TOO... EFFING... BAD!" ... you're seriously my hero dude. Thank you, sincerely.
I gotta say one thing Louis, you damn sure have the patience for this!
Glad i live in Australia and not America, as Apple tried this BS and got crushed, as us Aussies dont put up with lies and BS.
The man knows how to rant like a true new yorker. Gotta love it.
You need to get ifixit to show up when you do. Then there's more than just you to make solid statements to shoot down the false statements made by the lobbyists. I'm a bit surprised they haven't done so without my saying the above.
Ifixit lady was at one of the previous ones over the last week
Honestly I think its be better if his fans just start showing up at their own states and talk as an everyday consumer. This might be more of a numbers game. Hell I myself could talk about working multiple jobs at one point and I didnt have the time or the money to wait 2 weeks for repairs and pay 90% of the item price every time something breaks.
@@WayStedYou and Louis ran her over. :(
@@levelupirl4131 that is decently the way to go. Also prior or post the bill being motioned people can make an appointment to speak with their representative if they can not make it to the hearing on that date
@@levelupirl4131 that's the ultimate expression of democracy. This is how it's supposed to work.
Louis, with the greatest respect for the outstanding work you are doing, I think that you are not offended, but OUTRAGED, just as any of us who want to fix our stuff should be. Keep on keeping the lobbyists and politicians honest!!
“That wire makes it a pc and you’re lying about how it’s not a pc by saying it’s a Mac”
You take your Bugatti Chiron to a workshop to get fixed, they fix it by adding a new part, is it still a Bugatti Chiron? *yes.*
Are they lying to you by calling it a Bugatti Chiron now? *no.*
So why is it any different for a Mac?
PinHookEast bruh, for one, unnecessary quotes, two, did you not watch the video, one guy says this, three, this isn’t about cutting it up and selling it as the same brand, this is about fixing something of a brand and giving it back to the person *functioning* if a tiny wire fixes a MacBook, it’s still a MacBook the same goes for my example of a Bugatti Chiron, you get a filter replaced and it’s not by the original manufacturer, it’s still the same fucking car you’ve just got what you paid for finally up to scratch again, it’s not any more or less the car you bought
Now apply that logic to a tiny wire, you still get what you paid for and it’s working, it’s still a fucking MacBook, go cry in a hole you apple fanboy
@PinHookEast Except this was an argument made by actual lobbyists. That replacing a wire would turn a Mac into a PC. Is your reading/listening comprehension so low or are you intentionally being disingenuous?
Fun fact: the term "PC" stands for "Personal Computer." What that means is any computer being used for personal reasons (I.E. the computer, laptop, tablet, even smartphone that you "own"). By definition, the iMac in your house (and any Apple devices that you carry on your person) is a PC, a "Personal Computer." :)
Thanks Louis! muchas gracias!
our world is turning into Orwell 1984 , the very defintion of the words and notion of what is good, bad or wrong is getting corrupted. More and more people is getting sick of this behaviours.
Believe me, you are not alone.
Keep up the fight
Turning? Come to uk, it's already here. Our government are already telling us to not believe what we see and believe them, look at who won the election and how they won. London is already having face recognition cameras installed.
After hearing the lawyer for CompTIA I've been reconsidering the renewal status of my certifications. It's two-faced in this regard; on one hand giving credential to people in the computer service and repair industry while stabbing them in the back by making their profession illegitimate.
Thank you, Louis, you're an inspiration.
I'm glad you let rip in these videos! These lobbyists need calling out when they lie and misrepresent the truth. Carry on Sir!
Keep up the selfless work Louis. More strength to you. May all your floors be self-leveling!
I've seen a microwave, put into a microwave, and cooked and the "magintron" didn't even explode.
Microwave in a microwave. I've seen that video as well, lol.

Louis Rossman for President! :D
Seriously, man, you go out there and give those lobbyists hell.
I think state representatives should ask two questions for all testimonies and ensure it is captured in some official record:
- How does this bill hurt or help your constituents?
- Do you or your constituents gain monetarily by opposing or supporting this bill impact or hurt you or your constituents? If so, how?
I feel like these two questions would get to the true intent of what lobbyists and bad actors are truly there for and what they gain. Of course they could lie, but being a part of an official records definitely up the ante of it coming back to haunt them later.
Regardless, leveraging TH-cam and other solical platforms to show how our government is being bought and American citizens are being blatantly lied to.
Keep recording brother! You are a TRUE American hero!
Sophistry is a skill, and one that is suprisingly well paid.
I am also glad you recognize the difficulty politicians face in deciding a myriad of technical issues. Too often people accuse representatives of being stupid, or incompetent, or incapable (or all three!). As always, some of that is true. But the fact is, most deal with so many different issues that it's simply impossible to independently come to a conclusion for every issue.
You've gotta be the change you want to see, so I applaud you for making it happen.
Actually they are, todays politicians aren't built as sturdy and good as the older models were, and this is not a US problem, it is world wide actually.
Hell! All of us are less smarter today than we were before, if you haven't set up an old computer for an example, when you had to figure out the IRQ and all that stuff, you were on your own and had to do it, put somebody in the same task today without internet support and they will not be able to get it going at all.
@@CMDRSweeper @ethan forgot to mention corrupt in his list of adjectives describing politicians. Even if they start off with good intentions they are soon seduced by the opportunities available to enrich themselves.
@CMDR Sweeper Even the old politician were as bad/corrupt as the ones of today. Just look at the Teapot Scandal if you have doubts.
That's supposed to be the point of a Representative Republic though. All of the citizens can't know all of the issues in depth, so we vote for and pay the salaries of people who we trust will spend their time understanding these things. If they can't do that, then they've failed. There's nothing stopping them from typing R2R into google or youtube and becoming educated.
@@brandonwc There is. They only have so much time, and while you may care a lot about this one issue, I doubt it's the only one they have to look at. The amount of time they have to "educate themselves" by drinking in whatever random questionable information from the internet is the amount of time they have to do their job divided by how many issues they have to consider. I'm sure they have home lives as well and aren't working 24/7 minus sleep time.
In any case, I was going to say it sounds like even if they mean well, they're in a position somewhat similar to youtubers. It's only a matter of time before you have "offers" that might not be what you envisioned doing, but help pay the bills.. or are just too hard to pass up. A lot of people can't stop from eating themselves fat, so how much can we really expect with stuff like this?
Great job Louis Rossmann. Continue what you are doing.
Thanks for taking the time to not only show up to all these hearings, but to produce significant amounts of content broadcasting what's going on. People like you are the ones that can drive change.
I sent a letter to Pennsylvania about the right to repair they sent me a letter back that pretty much said F-Off!!! I really hope all the effort you are putting into this gets this bill passed! It almost makes a person want to leave the USA.
The lobbyist cries out in pain as he strikes you.
:^)
he is the victim.
I hope to God we get the right to repair upheld because of you, Louis! Thank you.
Louis,
I learned something.
I hope the lobbyists were listening and learned something as well.
Thank you, and have a great day!
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO LOUIS!!!! MUCH LOVE MAN!!!
It's not just this industry, it's literally EVERYTHING.
Yep, I've noticed it in every corner of every industry. Consumers used to have more power, what little power they did have is being taken away little by little every day and legislatures are paid to turn a blind eye or lobby for it.
They use the excuse that they're doing it to keep consumers safe but they're only doing it to line their fat leather wallets.
Congratulations from a fellow repairer from Spain. I am also sick of the face politics give to people when campaining regarding climate change and such, and then how our repair work is not promoted, we get no help, we need to pay sky high taxes (full VAT here in Spain and all around Europe) and the truth is that they would like us to plainly dissapear. Thanks for your GREAT WORK. Keep on going!!!
this is my favorite video I've seen from you. keep up the fight!! more people will join and then we're unstoppable.
We need many more people to speak out like you. Not just for the repair industry, but with all levels of civics.
This is democracy in action. Improvement doesn't do itself.
You have an international audience.

Unfortunately, when corporations feel threatened, they would end his crusade in the blink of an eye.

You know what my boss would say to you? "There's a queue of desperate people outside our gates, ready to replace your insubordinate ass at a moment's notice", and you know what's funny?
He's right.
Thank you for continuing to bring this to light. I like to approach videos with an open mind and always try to see both sides of the story before making my own decision. Ive been watching your videos as well reading up on this bill. I still don't understand how this was ever passed; but like I said bringing this to light is the greatest weapon. It honestly doesn't take a "genius" to see the wrong in all this and to see who is profiting from this. Just wanted to say thank you and you have my support.
Louis, thank you for being so passionate.
20:23 That part about cleaning up your part of the world was the most inspirational thing I've seen in a long time. Holy shit. Keep up the good work man!
Liked and subbed.
Keep fighting the good fight!
As an Aussie, i applaud you and your commitment to this cause! I will continue to view your videos in support. Kick it to the greedy bastards!

@@getsmartpaul When I tell people that Ralph will always be my political hero, this is what I meant.
Thank you Louis Rossmann, for your teaching and for your work. Right to repair is important and receives little thanks or attention.
Im sooo glad I found your channel a few days ago
"Cry bully". Never heard that one before. I will be using it going forward, especially leading up to November 3rd.
This is a really powerful video Louis, I urge you to at least temporarily feature it as the first one you see when you go to your channel
Hi Louis
I'm from Europe and I just wanted to thank You for this fight, because Right to repair should be international and global. We need more people like You who are willing to expose all the BS corporations claim just to maximize their income (and with no actual regard for customers safety, well-being or the state of environment) . So again - Thank You and keep doing what You do. Wish You all the best!

Thank you Louis for taking your time to represent the truth behind these doors of lies. Something that these people are to familiar with in the past.
Why do the lobbyists get to go last in these hearings
Probably because they pay a premium to be there.
I think it has to do with the rules of order used by the US government, both at the Federal and local level. When voting or discussing a movement, those in favor vote/speak first and those opposed go second.
those in favor should have the right to speak again. to dissect and flat our rap battle diss track-level ridicule what the lobbyists said.
It's annoying that the bullshitters always get to go second so you can't directly call out everything they said that was untrue. You have to try to psychically predict and address their bullshit ahead of time because of this system, which doesn't always work out well, lol. I've seen Louis try to call out the common arguments ahead of time and watch the legislators sometimes forget what they heard previously by the time the lobbyist shills come out to speak. People tend to remember what they hear towards the end of a thesis or overall discussion more than they remember the middle. It's the same they teach you when writing a paper in English/literature class. Always put your strongest arguments at the end. The lobbyists conveniently always get that slot, unfortunately.
Love and support from Sweden! Don't take their BS, and keep fighting the good fight!
If Louis would blink harder, he could bend an iPhone 6 with his eyelids.
Nice going Louis. Make them clear what the reality of things are.
Greetings from a 54 year old guy from the Netherlands who is a voluntary handyman for 2 social institutions and understand the problem to not be able to repair things because of big companies doing business in a way to make it harder and harder just to keep those at the top happy at the cost of normal and needy people. My 'respect' for the effort to try to make a change and the way you do this.
Drops the (unrepairable) mic. Oh no.
But if you repair the mic it's going to turn into a speaker!
+Mr. Cobalt: XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD so funny. nice one.
Bless you, Louis. You're not just working for the right to repair, but you're giving hope to guys like me who thought the system is broken beyond repair and that the majority of people in any political position must be corrupt in some way. Your videos show me that the people who are actually responsible for making these laws are genuinely trying to do the right thing with what little information that comes around in their realm. We as a people need to be more involved with politics. The problem is obvious. Lack of public influence resulting in over representation of corporate interests just because regular guys don't show up.
It really frustrates me, how they misrepresent the difficulty, the expertise needed, to do basic repairs on eg. an iPhone. Or various farming machines. Anyone with two reasonably functional eyes and a few appropriate tools can do it. You just need to pay proper attention to the fragile nature of some of the parts. Not because else you'll die a horrible death, but to avoid damaging some of the more fragile components inside (of your own property) in the process, that didn't need fixing / replacing. And, pay close attention to how the thing comes apart, to make sure you put it back together again correctly once you've done what you set out to do.
Of course some repairs are much more complex than that, requiring more skill but mostly more equipment and information - but it's no more superspecialsecret skill and work, than what the guys and gals down at your local street car tuning shop does. Some of them might have taken a couple of courses to quickly get on top of brand new/emerging tech - but most of what they do, they too learn "hand to mouth", and by sharing tips, skills and information with other techs like them on the internet. A little "secret": Most of these kinds of techs, be it auto tuning, phone and computer repair etc - they have neither manufacturer approved certifications nor formal education in what they do. They learned by doing, sharing information with likeminded people, and doing their own information research. And they are the best at their trades by far.
Damn you make so much sense. Keep fighting the good fight.
Hypothetically and just out of curiosity, place your vote: Louis for president!

I love your hatsune miku in the background it makes you more human and relatable
One of the greatest rants ever! Gives me hope. Keep up the good work.
I wonder... what if you did a live repair in front of the hearing/lobbyists as an example? Is that even possible?
timeslot may be too short and also the equipment (especially soldering iron or hot air gun) would probably be not allowed as they are dangerous weapons
@@jongoodenough3162 Set up a mobile repair station outside. Even better if any of the public officials had something that could use repair.
How about just changing a battery. Choose the easiest iPhone to do it on and demonstrate the pull tab that *Apple* put on it to make battery removal easier so even an untrained private iPhone owning citizen can do it.
I've emailed my state rep multiple times on right to repair and they never email back "bastards"
I had a look at a few of the hearings and it seems like that the "for" people always present before the "against". maybe you should go to the next hearing and demand to go second. This also gives you a chance to call BS on the lobbyists right there.
On the other hand Louis can already respond to most of their bullshit preemptively. Makes them look even more stupid.
Mike davison - I don’t think the system allows demands, you just have to do the best job you can with the time you have been allotted.
Great video Louis. I believe your correct that Washington state will be the first to pass this bill. Nice to meet you guys. Come back to Washington and visit we have a beautiful state. Keep up the great work.
I understand how it feels when ppl BS n lies about tech. Some ppl just go with the flow or follow what they are told to do without verifying. It can be quite frustrating.
Thank you Louis for helping expose this much needed topic over the years.

Go Louis, your are very good at articulating your arguments and pretty knowledgeable so this why your the right guy to defending the repair industry and us the customer!!
The false concept of "Intellectual Property" gives these people opposing the right to repair too much power.

This is great. Thanks for all your work and time.
Can we get these recordings of the hearings off the government website, and onto TH-cam? Are they in some sort of the public domain?
If so, this public showing of the lobbyists can be done a bit more easily, with simple re-uploads. The next challenge would be getting a commentary community revolving around the hearing recordings. Then use the social media tools in place to encourage a self-feeding machine of public ridicule and commentary, influencing creators with views and commenters with likes. Anyone got Ethan Klein's phone number?
