In the late 1980s, somebody bought a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) from a physical store, brought it home, and presumably enjoyed it for untold years. The console, with serial number N12180601, suffered greatly in the decades to come, eventually landing on eBay in a condition that can only be described as “junk.” The seller, located in Angleton, Texas, was asking a modest price of $11.99 for the system, which was not only nonfunctional and damaged, but missing a plethora of parts.

Information — You can learn how to do damn near anything these days. If you can create your own self-directed education, display your knowledge and competence somehow using technology (You Inc) and connect with the right people, you can build your own mini-empire.

Consumers fought back, and sites like iFixit exploded in popularity as owners of these devices created platforms for teaching one another how to open, repair, and modify their gadgets without sending them to the manufacturer or waiting for a repair appointment at an authorized repair shop. iFixit rates many new devices on a repairability scale, and the trend is clearly going in the wrong direction, with new smartphones, laptops, and other popular electronics routinely receiving incredibly low scores, indicating that it’s virtually impossible to repair them on your own.

Covered in dirt and grease, partially disassembled, burned by ill-placed cigarettes, missing vital internal components, and sporting bright white paint drips, the console was a mess. If your smartphone, TV, or modern game console were in this kind of condition you’d simply throw it out and buy a replacement. But the NES was built in the 1980s, back when companies didn’t care nearly as much about making money off repairs, and as such, it was salvageable with my bare minimum of technological know-how and my very questionable soldering skills.

As you go about your day with your smartphone in your pocket or toting a pricey laptop around, a war over the guts of those devices continues to rage. More specifically, a war between two sides that want to decide who can and who can’t tinker around inside, modifying the function of the components, or fixing issues that pop-up over time.

I date this made-up vision of them I have in my head — a personality that doesn’t exist and that they haven’t earned. It’s something author Elizabeth Gilbert, among others, has written about before.

Connectivity — You now have access to damn near anyone in the world. If anything, the pandemic accelerated the advancement of ideas like remote work, the gig economy, and the new entrepreneurial employee who contracts with many companies. Decentralization plus connectivity means more autonomy for individuals. Again, you want to be on the right side of this equation.

We are often the most attracted to those who have similar personal beliefs and values, but when it comes to just a casual conversation or a glance on the street, these are the surface things a guy might pick up on that may make him want to know more.

aches the class with me, and I try our best to give class participants tools and tips or discuss medications to help alleviate their discomfort and give them hope it isn’t always going to be “this bad.” I felt a little bit like a fraud, like I had no business telling these people what to do, as I myself had not been suffering too. I’d try to show I was also one of them, in their club. I’d shake my head in agreement with someone talking about their vaginal dryness like I too felt their pain. But the one thing I was really suffering from was full-on dread.

Instead of chasing 1000-hour programming contracts to build clunky payments solutions for each individual client, the Collison brothers built 7 lines of code that developers could simply plug into their websites.

These all sound like good excuses — and they are if they’re legitimate. But when it comes down to it, if he wanted to do any of those things, regardless of what’s going on in his life, he’d make the time to do them at some point.

On one side are the device manufacturers. Companies like Apple fought tooth and nail to prevent third-party repair shops from offering services for the iPhone, MacBook, and any other devices they sell. The iPhone maker fights against legislation that would make it perfectly legal for non-Apple-affiliate repair shops and individuals to fix their own devices if they want to, even going so far as to introduce a new kind of nonstandard screw head in 2009 to make it that much more difficult to open and repair its laptops and smartphones. Apple provided its own technicians the necessary tools to beat these screws, but for a long time, it was next to impossible to buy one from a third party.

He didn’t text me back for a week because he was busy with work, then just forgot. He hasn’t called me in a month because he’s tied up with a family issue. He hasn’t taken me on a real date in weeks, but that’s okay because I’m fine just chilling on the couch watching TV.

But I’ve heard women on TikTok going viral for saying this advice is toxic, that it doesn’t make them feel good and it makes them feel like there’s something wrong with them.

Microsoft’s shiny new Surface Duo received a two out of 10 for being impossible to disassemble without breaking, for example. Microsoft’s Surface Laptop earned the title of the “least repairable laptop” with a score of zero out of 10. The OnePlus 8 Pro received a four out of 10, while the Samsung Galaxy S20 received a three out of 10. On the Apple side, the newest 12.9-inch iPad Pro also scored a three out of 10, while the iPhone 11 received a somewhat encouraging score of six out of 10.
