18:49 Man that killed it. Thank you so much for covering this. This was beautiful.

I completely get that lots of people consider youtube their profession, and their job - and rightfully so, you all do amazing work. and that making a video like this can make it more difficult to get access to products or early looks at products into the future, given almost every company has a very anti-right to repair stance. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you putting your living on the line to talk about this. I hope others appreciate it too.

THANK YOU!!!!

I too agree that we should be allowed to take things apart.

this video isn't company friendly. it's consumer friendly. respect for sticking up for the people.

When Louis, linus started talking about this. I honestly thought you and others won't speak on this because on the dependency getting new products early etc. But getting your voice out on this, has raised my respect for you tremendously.
Watching you from 7 years, won't stop ever

Marques rides with Rossmann... Today is a good day

As far as John Deere goes, a friend of mine had an issue related to the electronic control system, ecu, pcm, whatever you want to call it. JD gave him such a hard time that he came to me and had me build an open source ecu to control the entire tractor (Speeduino based). It gave him complete control over every aspect of that damn thing and JD is not happy. Now his warranty was just about up and doing something like this will void your warranty, but if done right takes the piss outta some of these companies

Dude it’s so awesome to see a massive creator talking about this! Thanks for another great video my man!

[TechAisle]

This is huge. Influencers using their influence to bring a change, for the better. Massive props to Louis, Linus and Marques!

[JarrodsTech]

Great to see more coverage of this topic 🙌

“Imagine you have a job that requires drug testing and you quit the job ……… and they still try to test you for 5 years” my god. How can apple even legally attempt that?

You made perfect sense for this. We don't feel like we are customers anymore, more feel like we rent their products.

[ainoaguy]

Worked at the Genius Bar and had to turn down customers over the simplest repairs bc I wasn’t allowed to do it and instead was told to push selling a new phone or I’d get in trouble. I’m so glad you are talking about this.

Louis Rossman getting the recognition he deserves. That guy is fighting for all our rights

[davegreenwood]

As a former kid who used to and now an adult who still loves to take everything apart, I agree that we should be allowed to fix our stuff. Thank you for mixing in discussions about these important issues with more reviews of the next piece of tech.

Don't you hate it when your dinner chair broken and you have to buy a new 800k house instead of 2 dollar screw and anything that can screw it in

[Leviafan]

Don't usually leave a comments on YouTube, but here's one for recommendation algorithm. We need more people to be aware of this.

[HughJeffreys]

I feel like it would of been good to have mentioned the software locks on Apples iPhone, especially since they disable certain functions even when using genuine parts.
Overall the video was entertaining and the right to repair issues where well covered.

[TurnOntheBrightLights.]

How could you! YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!

[georges.]

This guy literally made a video that can potential hurt him from getting early access on new products. Instead of thinking of himself and his channel, he chose to talk about a topic that has to do with the people. Massive amount of respect.

[deadringer-cultofdeathratt]

I’m glad the bigger creators are adding a voice.
It’s felt like Rossman’s been fighting on his own until recently.
