@sam6550a My intent was not to single anyone out, just a reference for my post. I apologize if offense was taken, not meant, just a general blow off of steam.

The great thing about Apple is they don’t require anyone to buy their products. Right to repair never comes into play if you aren’t an owner. This leaves free time to worry about other things you don’t have to voice an opinion on!

...until every product in a given category becomes "right to repair."

Amazing what a hot button issue this is with some folks, I'm not even picking on Apple exclusively here.

I'll just move on.

Blow away, conversation never occurs unless divergent opinions surface.

I just bought a new Yoga 920, am I a Lenovo fan? I just hope it last for years.
I've already had to reset Winspy 10 because of crappy factory installed bloatware.
I had a Asus SXT card start on fire when I first installed it, did Asus help?
I still buy their stuff, but am no fan of any company in general.

Not really. The issue is, when I buy a device, or am I only being licensed to use the device [with many restrictions]. If I buy a machine, please do not try to tell me that I really do not own it, that I am being granted a license to use there software with a lot of caveats. Bullcrap. I guy down here had a tractor stop working because it had a burned out tail light, Transport this thing 55 miles to a dealer? I don't think so.

They are just hacking them now, this is always inevitable with DRM

Really, this is THE consumer rights issue of the day, and It's outcome is certainly not set in stone.

So now, I need some help.
What are DRM and EFF?

DRM = Digital Rights Management, an attempt to protect copyrights on digital media, and EFF = Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization who advocate and lobby for their opinons on certain types of consumer rights.

What is Schiit’s Right to Repair policy? Does it matter?

Yeah, it would be great if other manufacturers didn't blindly copy whatever next "genius" idea Apple is introducing - no-headphone-jack, notch, etc.

Then people would actually have a choice!

I mean I'm not blaming Apple for this, but setting idiotic trends seems to be something they're very good at.

What is Schiit’s Right to Repair policy? Does it matter?

I have a 5 year warranty on my Schiit, anyone I know whos had an issue has been taken care of.
And I'd bet they'd fix your Schiit outside of warranty reasonably, not make you buy new with their policies.
