I am honestly not sure if you're joking or not
I'm not really. Who are these guys and why am I hearing about them on every social media outlet.
They're a company whose sole aim is to make money. Right now they're in the goodwill phase of building community trust, but what's their endgame? Is this an emerging market they're cornering.
I know these sound like sarcastic questions, but I'm genuinely wondering.
Ifixit has been a community driven repair site for over 20 years. It was indispensable for repairing apple laptops when they were still transitioning to Intel from PowerPC. I haven't kept up with all the changes, but they sell tools and parts now. Even from a jaded perspective one can see the right to repair is in their best interest.
Well, that sounds promising at least. I hope their interests continue to align with their consumer-base for another 20 years, and doesn't nosedive into the CEO rot we've seen with Mozilla
