This article is so weirdly written
One of his points is that a vhs player is easily fixable while a wifi router isn't. These things aren't even remotely the same. They don't serve the same function, they don't have the same complexity. Comparing their repairability makes no sense because they serve different functions. Just because I know how to repair a keyboard doesn't mean I know how to fix a tv.
Most of his complaints are on the capitalization of modern technology, which is not a problem of innovation and knowledge, it's an economics and political problem.
Or the fact open source routers and buildable antennas exist
Good LUCK making a homemade VCR
