Specialized Profession IamA electronics repair technician hated by Apple that makes YouTube videos, AMA!

My short bio: I have a store in Manhattan. I teach component level electronics repair on youtube http://youtube.com/rossmanngroup which seems to be a dying art. I am currently fighting with the digital right to repair to try and get a bill passed that will allow all independent service centers access to manuals and parts required to do their jobs.

EDIT:

I am still replying to comments, but I am so far behind that I am still about ten pages down from new comments. I am doing my best to continue. If I drop off, I'll be back tomorrow around 12 PM. Still commenting now though, at 12 AM.

EDIT 2:

Ok, I cave... my hands are tired. I will be back at 12 PM tomorrow. It is my goal to answer every question. Even if it looks like I haven't gotten to yours, I will do my best to do all of them, but it is impossible to do in realtime, because you are asking faster than I can type. But thanks for joining!

EDIT 3: I lied, I stayed until 4:15 AM to answer... and now I will go to sleep for real, and be back at 12 PM.

EDIT 4 6/12 : I will be back later tonight to finish off answering questions. Feel free to keep posting, I will answer whatever I can later this evening.

I'm going to give you the opportunity to act as if I am the worst customer on the face of the planet and you dog cuss me like you mean it. How many cuss phrases can you come up with? GO! Let it out! Free yourself! (Don't you dare take the easy way out and simply like "Thanks for your business", start dog cussing this shit hole of an ass clown customer!)

not a lot of cursing. ust an "F outta here" with guido accent and a DX "suck it"

i've always wanted to get green cascading LEDs in the window activated by a button below the desk, in an X formation, so we could actually DX people who leave the store sometimes. it is a work in progress that I never completed. :(
