@rrustema020 @notjustbikes Some idiots are going to say we should ban the Lambo for being too short to see or something stupid like that.

@notjustbikes about SUVs that are too dangerous. -
Some devices aren’t hard to repair by accident—they’re built that way.@iFixit Hidden screws are annoying, but if there are guides, that's something you can deal with. Glue can be dissolved with some alcohol, and you can get it at most pharmacies. Soldered chips requires specialized equipment and training to repair, which means you can't expect the average person to just follow a guide. I'd say soldered down components is the biggest obstacle for home repairs.
I have the equipment and skill to repair these, but even I get annoyed when I have to spend quite a bit of time to upgrade the SSD when M.2 can be upgraded in seconds and doesn't take much space anyway (Apple is especially bad with this, and use it to overcharge their customers), soldered RAM is more common for laptops, but with LPCAMM2, there's no excuse to solder RAM on the board when you're trying to hit the highest performance.
