Yeah he rambles in his videos, sometimes so much I want him to just stick to the topic, and he could benefit from writing a script, but calling someone “insufferable” because of that seems pretty harsh, especially when they’ve been a massive proponent of right to repair (and even successfully had some laws changed), open source, and privacy.
This guy was offered an insane salary for doing engineering for US defense contracts and turned it down because he felt like calling out bad practices and improving repairability on our devices was a better thing to do. I can respect that. Someone putting their principles before simply making as much bank as possible.
Yeah, he has a link to his repair business in his video description and occasionally mentions he has a repair business or bullshit anti-repair stuff the repair shop has to deal with. I don’t see what’s so bad about that.
Not everyone has the time, ability, or tools to repair everything themselves at home. Repair shops are a good thing. Would you rather things just be discarded when the battery dies or the screen gets a crack?

I guess that makes him our lord and saviour then, and we can then only take him seriously because of that. Knowing this changes everything. He is so good to help us lowly people in our quest for repairable devices! And if you just keep watching his videos he can teach you how you also can be successful like him. And by the way you can buy his tools too!
He’s right on the right to repair, but every time I tried to watch his videos (and I tried a few times, I work in tech and like the subject), I always felt like I was being… patronized.
