🥵 BIG CORP. computer REPAIR LIES 🥵

Hey, didn't know I had this on the table. Sorry about that. I was reviewing a scientific paper and eating some cashews and almonds. Sorry for exposing my nuts there. See, that was a joke. I made a joke. It was an unintentional joke, actually, that was completely spontaneous, believe it or not. This video is going to piss a lot of people off, but it's true. You have to ask yourself this question before I talk about this in this video. The question is, do you care about the truth? Or are you completely immersed in your belief system and the things that you think, feel, and believe? I talked about this in a live stream less than a week ago. I found it astonishing. So many people wrote, this made them angry. I used to repair laptops. I'm a bit of a laptop nut. I used to be number one person in the world for answering tech support questions about the MacBook Air. Yeah, definitely. I still have some articles of mine I wrote for Apple. It's on their website. You can say I'm a bit of a laptop guru. I definitely am. Definitely. Anyway, there's a few people like this on YouTube. I'm not singling anybody out, even though I'm sure you're going to think that I am. They make videos about laptop repair. Someone else brought this up in a live stream, and I'd like to address this and get to the facts of the matter. People get attached to their laptops and experience this, and so did I. I had an old Sony VAIO. Man, that thing was just built like a tank. It was just awesome. But I used it for years and years, and it becomes slower than a constipated turtle relative to what was out there. But man, that sucker was just a beast. It was just a honeypot of a laptop. You get attached to it. It's like, you know, need to give it up. So people, when they want an old dinosaur poop of a laptop repaired, they get attached to it. It's like, you know, it's going to cost you a lot more to fix this thing than it's worth. And when you fix it, it's still going to be an old dinosaur poo. You should take that money and go buy something like a million times faster than this. But people get sentimentally attached, kind of like a child has a whoopee. I don't know if you know what a whoopee is, but it's like a blanket. And like a child might have been slobbering on it. I don't have a whoopee, by the way. A child might have been slobbering on the whoopee, you know, for 20 years. It's got holes in it, and it's ratty and dirty, and might have creatures living in it. Do they still want it fixed? It's like, I can't part with my whoopee. That's how people are about their laptops, huh? And I carry no weight for Apple at all, okay? I never liked Steve Jobs. As someone who's seen the inside of some things at Apple, I'll just say things. I'll tell you flat out, and I know some people that were some close friends of mine, that have since moved away, that worked for Apple. Apple does not treat its people well at all. I mean, they absolutely don't. So I really don't, even though I have a lot of Apple laptops, including this old iMac sitting here, my iPad, my iWatch, you know, whatever. I don't carry any weight. Someone's going to say in this video, you're just carrying weight for Apple. Here's an Apple fanboy. It's like, well, I'm a huge fan of the iOS interface. We could talk all about that, but we don't need to. It's not for purposes of this video. Anyway, we had this debate in the livestream. It really pissed people off, but I laid out the facts, and the facts are the facts. There's a few people on YouTube, and their skills really are great. They'll whip out a microscope. They'll desolder a capacitor, a subcomponent. On modern laptops for the past 10 plus years, it depends on who makes the laptop. There's really only, once again, it depends on the laptop, between 6 to 12 major parts, right? You know, you open up a MacBook Air, whatever you think of Apple, it looks like a piece of jewelry today. It's just so, so, so simple. You have a main board. You have a power supply board. I actually haven't taken the most recent MacBook Air apart, running the newest chip. You have the LCD display. You have the battery system. Usually, on the MacBook Pros, there was a fan power board that was separate. Anyway, only a few major components, right? There are people on YouTube, there's only a couple primary ones. They'll boast about how evil Apple is. Once again, I don't carry weight for Apple. Don't carry weight for Apple. I don't like the company ethos. I never liked Steve Jobs. Never did like him. Never, never, never. Anyway, let's talk about how evil Apple is. Let's just get to the facts really quickly here, even though I've flapped my lips unnecessarily for a little too long. Apple is so easy. They're sitting here with a microscope. They've got fantastic skills for repair. Undeniable. The wick away, the old solder. I've got two soldering irons over here. You can't see them. If I need to grab one, I will. I grew up soldering. These people's skills of diagnostics on motherboards and subcomponents are great. They're wear and tear on laptops, especially the hinge or the cable feed that feeds power and data between the main board. It breaks. It breaks things. Maybe somebody spilled a drink on it. It's like we can't fix it. There's corrosion on it. These people on YouTube, they'll talk about how great they are. Their skills really are great, but what they make a horrific mistake on is glaring and it's just flat out a lie. That's exactly what it is. It's a flat out lie. They'll say Apple should be ashamed of themselves. They want $800 to replace the main board. All it was was like a $2 resistor. They also charge, which is fine because people's time is worth money to diagnose which little component was broken, which today is a lot faster. To desolder that little subcomponent, often using a microscope because they're really, really small. The reason why these YouTubers, and there's other people on this on YouTube and also too on the internet, that are just flat out wrong and they're lying because they're not stupid. I have to say demonstrably that they're lying because I know they're not stupid. No computer company, I'm just going to talk about laptops even though it refers to other computers including IMAX and so on and so forth. The reason why they're lying is that no company does that. No company, whether it be Apple or any other company, does that. They don't do subcomponent. They're sitting there taking an old dinosaur pooper or even a modern computer and they say something happened to it, things happened. It was just slightly out of warranty but it's a fairly new computer. They want to charge you X number of hundreds of dollars for a main board. It's not just Apple that does that. It's all these companies that do that. There's a reason for it and it is very, very simple. I guess I should have made this video a little shorter. When Apple and these other companies hire people to do laptop repair, just in case of laptops only I'm talking about here. They hire an unskilled goof. They doesn't need much training. Use diagnostic elimination tools. A laptop only has really 10 major components in it, depending on the laptop. In the case of the Air, it's very, very few. Diagnosing is really easy. You have a diagnosing tool. You do quick diagnostic eliminations. It's the power board, which might be a little board like that. In the case of an older MacBook Air, that's the problem. Well, you don't identify the subcomponent that's a problem on the board. This is a problem. I'm going to grab that and I'm going to replace, boom, this component with the major component that's broken. In the case of the motherboard, it might be a $2 resistor that's bad on the motherboard. But if the motherboard comes up bad, they take the whole motherboard out, put in a new one. And so these YouTubers will say, Apple is so evil. This is just a $2 resistor. You're right. But Apple nor any other computer company hires these mostly untrained goofs. They would have to train these young goofs. Most kids are young. An enormous amount to be able to do that. You would never ever do that. It's cost stupid. Let me repeat that again. It's cost stupid. It's time stupid. It is the most illegitimately, illegitimate, uneconomical method of insanity. No company follows. Not Apple, not any company. Let's see which is cheaper in the case of a company. Let's say there's a $2 resistor blown on a $600 motherboard, right? You could train somebody for a year and a half to do subcomponent desoldering and repair, which is just astronomically expensive and totally stupid. Or you could train a goofball to use a diagnostic tool and like say a month or two of training, usually less than that, to plug in some stuff. It's like, oh, this is the major component that's failed. Remove that component that's failed. Replace it with a replacement. No company does that. Yeah. So when these people say this about the laptop repair, they're flat out lying. Now, from your perspective, since it's your laptop and it's just slightly out of warranty, for example, you're like, well, this is just stupid. Apple wanted to charge me $800 for my motherboard replacement. All it needed was a $2 resistor or a $20 capacitor. Well, you're empirically and existentially accurate, but you're ultimately wrong because Apple would never, ever, ever, nor any other company, because none of them do it, not just Apple, all of them, they would never, ever train somebody for a year, year and a half to do super detailed diagnostics and train them how to desolder and all the little tricks. You would never do that. Never. No company can operate that way with a profit margin. We just got done training 10 people the super expertise methodology of subcomponent desoldering and replacement. It's like, what? Yeah, now we can put them to work. Like, no. We just got done training 30 goose. Took us 30 days to train 30 goose. All they have to do is identify the major component that failed, pop it out, unscrew it, pop in a new one, slap the back, the bottom plates on the laptop, you know, charge the person for the fix. They all do that. So these people's skills on desoldering subcomponents is undeniable. I know how to desolder stuff. I don't desolder my microscopic components that require a microscope to desolder because I'm just not going to do it. But people are like, look at my soldering skills. Look at my diagnostic skills. Yeah, your soldering skills and desoldering skills, your diagnostic skills on laptop diagnostics are stellar. But no computer company would do that because it's insanely stupid to do an enormous amount of training for something that they could train someone 30 days, you know, how to do major component failure diagnostic elimination and just replace it. So I find it odd that people are fighting with me in live stream over this. Because this is where the real fight occurs. People are right in thinking. It's like, why should I need an $800 motherboard or a $2 resistor that failed? Well, from that perspective, you're right. But what you completely fail to understand from Apple or IBM or anybody else that makes a laptop, Asus, all of them, is that they don't train their flunkies to do that. They would never, ever do that. Never, ever, ever. None of them do. None of them. None of them do it. Anybody do it. So what about the right to repair? Hey, if it's your laptop, you can screw the bottom plate off of it and you can repair whatever the hell you think it is you think you can repair. If you have the skills, which you probably don't. I love when people talk about, what about the right to repair? Everybody has the right to repair their own stuff. Might void the warranty, so what? Doesn't mean I can't take this apart or anything apart and repair it. But I have to have the skills and I have to have the replacement parts. Those are the only two things that I have to have. Most people don't have the replacement parts, but even if they could get them, do they have the skills? Probably not. Anyway, I'm sure this video will piss people off, but that doesn't bother me. The only thing that I care about is facts, logic, and wisdom and whether what I said was accurate or not. And what I did say in this video was accurate. And it's also too undeniable. There we are with that. Goodbye.
