Apple shipped me a 79-pound iPhone repair kit to fix a 1.1-ounce battery

Feels unnecessarily complicated? I think at that point, I'd just go to an authorized repair center and have them replace the battery which I suppose is the point that Apple is trying to make with this complicated battery replacement kit. You want Right to Repair? Sure, we will supply you with DIY kits that are too complicated for most people so they have to do it the usual way anyway...

Yeah, that's their whole point. With that said, I hope it backfires and a lot of people will ask them for the repair kit because that doesn't look cheap, especially with shipping.

That would certain be an interesting idea but idk if AMD will go that route anytime soon since they could sell you a dGPU instead. But maybe later down the line, that would be pretty nuts.

Given the leaked diagram for an Asus board, I doubt AMD wil go that route as well

I expected the two chipsets to be together in the same package, not split and so far away one from the other.

I just hope those chipsets don't require active cooling like initial X570 boards. It is also very strange having two chipsets which suggests AMD is trying to add in additional IO capabilities but they aren't integrating that directly into the CPU. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
