Samsung and iFixit have parted ways on their program to make the Korean company's smartphones easier to repair. According to a blog post from iFixit's boss, "we consistently faced obstacles that made us doubt Samsung's commitment to making repair more accessible". They "couldn't get parts to local repair shops at prices and quantities that made business sense" and "Samsung's Galaxy devices remained frustratingly glued together". Meanwhile, owners of Spotify's little Car Thing dedicated hardware device are being told to "do a factory reset on the product and find some way of responsibly recycling the hardware". They only stopped selling it late-2022 and it's already e-waste! Samsung and Spotify - pathetic.
