anyone who complains about apple for how they make their hardware hard to repair/find parts for should start exclusively using non-flagship hardware meant for "developing countries" like brasil and india and tell me again that apple is the problem
i remember seeing as late as 2019 a brand new samsung laptop which was NOT a chrome book with only 64gb of storage for windows 10 TOUTING itself as having an "SSD" (because that's laptop seller buzzword for "faster" now like "blast processing")
by which i mean: apple is not exempt. but the problem is SO much bigger than blind-sided US nerds like to rag on about. please think more globally
