Hi. In today's episode, we look at Planned Obsolescence, the resulting mountains of e-waste, and why companies don't want you to be able to fix their crummy products.

If you expect Cody to be nice to Apple, you will be very disappointed.

Apple is actively trying to stop interoperability. Hardware and software with no valid justification. They've become worse than the monsters people once perceived them to stand against. The company has built some decent hardware and software. None of that justifies their behavior.

Also linux/bsd/ plan9/ haiku etc etc etc all tend to be interoperable because they generally adhere to The posix Standard. Which is also why windows can run Linux binaries Etc. There is no such thing as core Linux. Indeed Darwin the neglected underpinnings of OS X is posix compliant itself being a bastardized version of BSD. The incompatibility is only start where Apple begins. The fact that Apple created its own separate apis called metal etc instead of using the widely used and proven standards taking after Microsoft. Proves they are out to quash.
