ADAM RUINS TECH
Remember that enormous amount of legalese you don't read but keep clicking
"AGREE" on every time you install tech? UH OH! Adam shows how we are
losing the 'right to repair' our own products we bought. Yes you own
the hardware, but not the programs that run it. Everything from Apple
phones, Keurig coffeemakers, HP printers and John Deere tractors may
refuse to work if you make them mad.

JOHN OLIVER ON HATING FACEBOOK
John Oliver reviews Facebooks' bad behavior, like indirectly encouraging
genocide in Burma to make a quick buck. Groan. Oh, plus that "Russians
in the 2016 Election" thingy.

MAC REPAIRMAN SLOWLY GOES INSANE IN 20 MIN CONFESSIONAL RE: CULTS/STALINISM
I'm a decent Mac repairman in that I am a cross between a pro-video
editor, a tech nurse and a computer psychiatrist. But this guy Louis
Rossmann (NOT a pro-video editor) is a SURGEON who will charge up to
$700 to put chips under the microscope and really go to town soldering
and acid washing. Nobody knows more about how Apple designs bad products
to exploit and gaslight their true believers. That is why he, and I,
don't use Macs.
Gaslighting someone is when you claim to be their savior but you are actually the problem. Anyone who is banished to the Apple store will understand, as will ex-Scientologists. It's kind of the same thing. I really HATE opening Mac laptops and all-in-ones but people keep bringing them to me because they hate the Apple store so much and I charge so little. Louis makes overlong videos but, as far as computer surgeons go, I think he's kinda cute. How does he afford his Manhattan rent? Servicing overpriced Macs people can't let go of! I wonder if he is Gay. He also posts unprofessional videos about how much he loves his cat. Okay, yeah, he is probably Gay. No wait, he has a girlfriend! |
