Normally, I watch videos at 1.5x speed, but damn, this dude talks really fast! Great interview though. It’s crazy to realize that people I admire are very similar to how I am personally. 🤯
Louis is holding himself back here, he normally talks 1.5x this speed, or 2x this when something ticks him off. They also probably cut out one or two "Apple can suck my m** f** balls!"
Hi guys, I first watched the Coldfusion video, but this one came out earlier. Well, am here now 🙂 It's so important what Louis has been pushing, him and a few others are really pushing this topic for years now, be it home electronics, tractors, cars or so many other products. Thanks for the great collab, nice! Cheers 👍💪✌
Since half a year I own the Fairphone 5, owned the first one (crowdfunded at the time) as well. So far the 5 is perfect for me, enough for me and 7 years parts and warranty, what else do I need?
Srsly needs a wikipedia like page of brands and products that are anti consumerism so we can vote with our wallets! like sweet baby inc detected (on steam) but for hardware.
There is a reason it doesn’t exist. It’s always going to be a question of who’s recommending it and its back to square one again. But there should be one from Rossmans, because he has more credibility than anyone I know that care about this stuff.
I just found out both of this channel and how the voice of coldfusion actually looks like, man.. I know that specific british accent predominantly used by immigrant, for some reason I imagined a thin european dude with english as 2nd language who picked british accent 😂
In terms of when and how it started, I believe it was Apple. My first awareness was the iPod. I could replace the battery in my Creative Zen. My friend could not replace the battery in his iPod. That was the first time they had a big enough monopoly to lean in to their anti-consumer tactics. (A monopoly they got not by designing a better device but by preventing competitors buying the small harddrives, so their device had to be larger.) I swore off Apple then and there, and have never regretted it.
I don't have an issue with it. CZcams demonetizes and reduces the reach of videos with cursing. Personally, I think it would've been better just to do jump-cuts.
The thing is; Mercedes almost gone bankrupt because they build too good cars; customer base ended, no spare parts needed. What could they do? The issue of Right to Repair and durability of products has a root in business models. We would have to pay for durability and right to repair. How? Subscription? How do we incentivize it?
Subscription model, clearly. You really think Apple isn’t already profiting significantly off those US$9.99/month iCloud Storage / Apple Music / etc. plans? Not to mention the absurd markup they bake into all their retail products… US$200 keyboards, anyone?
@@jonathanloganmoran I think Apple's model is a bit unfair; they ask you to buy their devices and pay for subscriptions. While this could look like this; you subscribe, so you get a phone. May be some payment is needed, so people would not throw the phone into sand or against walls, but the majority should be payed with subscription.
Louis it would fit the podcast better if you look at the interviewer instead of at the camera. I know its different because you normally record your own videos but it makes the podcast a bit weird to watch.
*WTF kind of a question is that? Louis is looking at the camera and laptop display. They are literally six to fifteen time zones apart. Louis in his upstairs studio in Austin, TX and CF is (presumably) somewhere in Oz or UK.*
@@blackrifle6736 ah I didn't realize it wasn't recorded in the same room. Well regardless the video is weird when one of the hosts looks at the camera and one of them does not.
25:13 there is a 1 excuse, and that being that smartphones are within EMF range of the user almost always, so a bad fix could literally induce cancer or some other illness. Granted, this is a rare case, and shouldn’t stop all the good aspects of right to repair, but I am 100% certain when right to repair goes through there will be some genius that repairs something and then the user will want to sue the manufacturer for damages of long term exposure to that bad repair. Again, it is a less than .0001% chance it will happen, but extrapolated over millions of users it will happen, and they will want to sue the manufacturer instead of the repair guy, and odds are that the manufacturer will have to pay that lawsuit to save face. There definitely should be pairing authentication to avoid these sorts of unjustified lawsuits, but the pairing shouldn’t be such that it legit bricks the software. It should be a simple 1 time message upon turning on letting the user know that manufacturer is no longer liable for potential lawsuits due to a repair that was done from a 3rd party. There is a sweet spot for these matters, for sure. It’s annoying that they take parasitic approach instead of the consumer friendly approach. 😓
Cars are far more dangerous and people are allowed to fix those. Automakers aren't going broke fighting lawsuits from people who went to a bad mechanic. This is exactly the kind of nonsense the manufacturers try to spread.
I'm mad that I'm just finding out you’ve had a podcast this whole time. 🫠 I’ve been watching the main channel since like 2016! You really need to promote this more on the main channel, my guy!
Rossman for President!
He's got my vote!! ❤
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
He's a big enough dick to get things done but also reasonable
Let's draft him for president! 💖
FK yes
O god, the crossover we didn't know we wanted
never seen Louis this calm ..big ups to you guys for this discussion
THE RIGHT TO REPAIR SHOULD BE IN EVERY CONSTITUTION'S AMENDMENT
No. It shouldn’t.
That doesn't even make sense.

I need to turn on the subtitle 😅 (not a native english speaker)
Believe it or not, he's even faster on his own videos.
@@justinsayin3979 haha yeah this is him talking slowly 😆
Louis is holding himself back here, he normally talks 1.5x this speed, or 2x this when something ticks him off. They also probably cut out one or two "Apple can suck my m** f** balls!"
The technical and industry aspects are well-reasoned, but what truly delighted me is the suggested joyful approach to activism.
It's kinda weird to see Louis Rossmann is so polite and calm...... I like it better when he ranting though...... again, where's blackberry.... ?!?!?

Possman for Resident!
Rossmann for president!
Came from cold fusion, thanks Louis and cold fusion what’s on the minds of millions. ❤
Excellent episode, thank you for informing people about indispensable topics like these!
this was a good listen. thanks!
Absolutely amazing to see Louis on here! Love it.
27:35 Not to mention a waste of materials.
Brilliant
Amazing podcast and a great overview of the right to repair thematic
Hell yeah brother
Since half a year I own the Fairphone 5, owned the first one (crowdfunded at the time) as well.
So far the 5 is perfect for me, enough for me and 7 years parts and warranty, what else do I need?
Thanks for sharing it. Good discussion. ✌️
Louis Rossman is Legend
Louis is the man!
what's the opening soundtrack?
Great talk!
Srsly needs a wikipedia like page of brands and products that are anti consumerism so we can vote with our wallets!
like sweet baby inc detected (on steam) but for hardware.
easier to make a website featuring companies that are pro consumer since that list is way shorter

Kind of sad that there's only single digit thousands of hits on this
I see "Multi-purpose orifice" t-shirts in Louis' future.

my devices are 12+ years old. Can't pay electricity bill now. Need to upgrade. :S
...where is the kitty cat?
Is this channel connected to Cold Fusion?
The black dude is the literal voice of Cold Fusion.
@@brightrrs1740 Cool. Thanks for the info.
It would be great if you didn’t censor him. It would give this podcast more credibility.
I don't have an issue with it. CZcams demonetizes and reduces the reach of videos with cursing.

I this the first time I’m hearing “bullshit” in his channel
*Routine on his channels but Louis is always blazing new trails...*

Treat it like speed training. Rise to the challenge, my friend!
How is he fast?
He's somewhere in the spectrum
He is a New Yorker but recently moved in Texas. They talk fast
