Thanks for another great episode! I think I can chip in about the surprising news that Apple announced Self Service Repair. I think it can have something to do with regulations happening in Europe, and an embryo of similar happening in USA. Both EU and UK has legislation now (or in the works of taking effect) promoting the right to repair. I don't know how this is in other parts of the world though.
