Man I hope this goes through if you ever need someone to pay for your ticket to these places I'd be glad to pitch in to help it's so nice to see someone actually care about the future

[PanheadEL]

You've gotten better with your delivery. More concise and less tech jargon that in the past. Thank you for fighting the good fight.

"And, thank you very much son. Too bad you wasted your time since we are bought and sold already." It wasn't said, but you could feel it.

"The way that I get that chip right now is I actually have to buy an iPhone battery charging case, that costs $129, and has a battery in it, and that same chip, rip it apart, desolder the $5 chip, and then dispose of the battery as e-waste, which is completely insane. It does make sense for Apple's bottom line, because I effectively have to pay them $129 for the $5 chip. However, the thing is, they could've been selling those chips for $129, which I would pay, since there is no other option, and there would be no need to throw away the toxic lithium ion battery. But you can't buy that chip, at any price. What it tells you is they don't want the customers to be able to repair their devices, period. And that is the fundamental change in culture that we're trying to address here.

I think 5min of testimony would've been more fair. 1min just tells me they really don't want to hear any opposition.

I love how later a cybersecurity expert comes in and brings up the fact that if replacing a screen is a security risk then we have far bigger problems on our hands.

[JohnTrustworthy]

My grandfather who was an electrician and electronics engineer once told me: "If something isn't made to be disassembled for repair, it isn't made to last.". I didn't know what he meant until I read about planned obsolescence.

[leeDs]

Court: how many people have Apple ripped off?
Louis: yes

[erikm.]

"no questions, you did not and will not pay for our campaigns. shut up and let my investors be my monopolists"

[BransonWeather]

Great Job Louis. We support your battle for right to repair.
Having 3rd party options for repair has been a life saver for us.
In our line of work, especially weather coverage, having our electronics is very important.
Our entire staff supports you!

[Fonic_Artes]

What I find funny is literally the 2nd person to speak after you in opposition, literally said "It's in search of a problem that does not exist."

Which you just answered why in your statement before them.

[tarasov]

Eloquent, professional and to the point - nothing less to be expected of Louis, a pleasure to watch and listen to.

[elminz]

Clear, Concise, and well thought out. Very well done!

[danscherck]

Hey, thanks for coming to Washington to testify! Please keep fighting against corporations trying to destroy actual ownership of anything.

[ElementalMaker]

You're a hero Louis. Beautifully stated case and point.

[Basuko_Smoker]

The non-existent questions after your amazing testimony speak by themselves, you are an awesome person Louis!

[amoorsharma]

Clean and Crisp info.
Thanks
Keep doing what u are doing for the sake of consumers

[BudStudmuffin]

Louis is insanely well spoken and concise. This is why I just subscribed. Live long and prosper Louis

[Laffs]

Just became a patreon Louis! I believe in open source as well in the right to repair. Your videos are fantastic, and even though I dont do any board repair, (I work with 3D printing and building Raspberry Pi security cameras) I find what you and your team do, important and educational :D - From an Finger Lakes New Yorker

As a random on the internet, you have my support and best wishes.
