Summary

This week Apple announced an effort to begin offering service manuals, replacement parts, and other self-repair services to its customers.

Kyle joins us to talk about his DIY repair efforts over the years, what opening up your own iPhone will be like, Microsoft's exploratory moves toward repairability, the legal state of affairs that's driving this sea change, where e-waste actually goes when you dispose of it, and a lot more.
