    There’s no reason why you can’t design a repairable product with fewer moving parts. Just because I superglued stuff doesn’t mean it’ll last longer.

    Repairable also doesn’t mean tool less. It means having published schematics, spare parts available at decent prices as well as using standard tooling (no obsure screw heads or software pairing or DRM or other such fuckery).

    Repairable also doesn’t mean repairable in the house. It can be repairable by a specialist but that specialist shouldn’t be sanctioned by the OEM.

    Apple, John Deere, McDonald’s etc. all make things that could be repairable with little corporate effort but intentionally make it non repairable.
