It’s unfortunate; but not really surprising. Microsoft’s two main hardware ventures are consoles(a genre that has resented even the idea of user interference since long before Microsoft joined the party); and ‘surface’ devices that are love letters to Apple’s most unserviceable impulses; sometimes surpassing even their inspirations(the Surface Laptop, notably, is about as unserviceable as hardware gets outside of HSMs and land mines).

Shouldn’t you be murdering Thompson or Smith instead? I’m not sure how much of a role Bill has these days.
As for “not just Apple”, well, no-one expects Microsoft to not behave in a crappy way.
His name is Bill… Right to Repair Bill.

My reaction exactly. Probably the most toothless threat ever.
No worries. I knew when making it that it would be confusing, and possibly threatening to anyone named “Bill”. But then I thought about this guy. I should have included him in the image.
Maybe I’ll go in and change it.

One more Surface Bill Gates won’t sell. I quit buying MS Office when he put a member of a criminal family at the top.
I’m sure you all know how to check the back of a computer for serviceability and all y’all know how to reuse those “non-reuseable” screws holding the back on.
Now if I could just get some schematics on tablets so I can take the wifi card out of one and use it for a secure offline device…pull the sim card as needed and no worries.
And no one was surprised.
