I didn't start working in repair from just fixing start working in repair from just fixing start working in repair from just fixing MacBook motherboards or working on data MacBook motherboards or working on data MacBook motherboards or working on data recovery in Apple products. I actually recovery in Apple products. I actually recovery in Apple products. I actually started in the recording studio industry started in the recording studio industry started in the recording studio industry in that world in the mid-200s. I worked in that world in the mid-200s. I worked in that world in the mid-200s.

I got to work there as an intern world. I got to work there as an intern world. I got to work there as an intern at first, not paid because I was a at first, not paid because I was a at first, not paid because I was a teenager who didn't know what I was teenager who didn't know what I was teenager who didn't know what I was doing. And eventually after enough of 
[0:30]
doing. And eventually after enough of doing. And eventually after enough of cleaning up other musicians puke when cleaning up other musicians puke when cleaning up other musicians puke when they would get high or drunk, I was they would get high or drunk, I was they would get high or drunk, I was trusted enough to be able to get the trusted enough to be able to get the trusted enough to be able to get the falafel order at a Zuri Cafe for people falafel order at a Zuri Cafe for people falafel order at a Zuri Cafe for people like Rich Costi or Nickadilla. And once like Rich Costi or Nickadilla. And once like Rich Costi or Nickadilla. And once I had gotten enough falafel orders right I had gotten enough falafel orders right I had gotten enough falafel orders right and hadn't gotten anything wrong, they and hadn't gotten anything wrong, they and hadn't gotten anything wrong, they then finally trusted me to use a then finally trusted me to use a then finally trusted me to use a soldering iron and work on some of the soldering iron and work on some of the soldering iron and work on some of the equipment there. One of the things that equipment there. One of the things that equipment there. One of the things that I learned while I was working with the I learned while I was working with the I learned while I was working with the great technicians there is that a lot of great technicians there is that a lot of great technicians there is that a lot of the stuff that I was working on were the stuff that I was working on were the stuff that I was working on were downstream from the military. So the downstream from the military. So the downstream from the military. So the gear that we have when you look at the gear that we have when you look at the gear that we have when you look at the knobs and the circuit design and even knobs and the circuit design and even knobs and the circuit design and even some of the components, I didn't really some of the components, I didn't really some of the components, I didn't really understand that a lot of this would not understand that a lot of this would not understand that a lot of this would not have existed the way it did if not for have existed the way it did if not for have existed the way it did if not for the fact that a lot of it was downstream 
[1:01]
the fact that a lot of it was downstream the fact that a lot of it was downstream from the military. So I'll give you a from the military. So I'll give you a from the military. So I'll give you a couple of examples. Take this. This is couple of examples. Take this. This is couple of examples. Take this. This is an LA2A. This is a very, very popular an LA2A. This is a very, very popular an LA2A. This is a very, very popular compressor. If you're not an audio compressor. If you're not an audio compressor. If you're not an audio engineer recording music, you probably engineer recording music, you probably engineer recording music, you probably don't know why this is so impressive, don't know why this is so impressive, don't know why this is so impressive, but you put a voice through it and it but you put a voice through it and it but you put a voice through it and it just sounds awesome. This was not just sounds awesome. This was not just sounds awesome. This was not something that was just randomly something that was just randomly something that was just randomly invented on its own. This has a piece in invented on its own. This has a piece in invented on its own. This has a piece in it. It has an optical compressor unit it. It has an optical compressor unit it. It has an optical compressor unit that makes it sound amazing. And this that makes it sound amazing. And this that makes it sound amazing. And this actually came from a missile system. Jim actually came from a missile system. Jim actually came from a missile system. Jim Lawrence was asked to join Caltech Jet Lawrence was asked to join Caltech Jet Lawrence was asked to join Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he was Propulsion Laboratory where he was Propulsion Laboratory where he was assigned the task of developing optical assigned the task of developing optical assigned the task of developing optical sensors for the Titan missile program. sensors for the Titan missile program. sensors for the Titan missile program. And that optical sensor is actually the 
[1:32]
And that optical sensor is actually the And that optical sensor is actually the thing that is inside of this audio thing that is inside of this audio thing that is inside of this audio compressor that's being used 50 to 70 compressor that's being used 50 to 70 compressor that's being used 50 to 70 years later by people if not in hardware years later by people if not in hardware years later by people if not in hardware with plugins that are emulating the with plugins that are emulating the with plugins that are emulating the sound of it. Rert Neve, he made all sound of it. Rert Neve, he made all sound of it. Rert Neve, he made all these amazing consoles and he had these amazing consoles and he had these amazing consoles and he had started as a member of the Royal Corps started as a member of the Royal Corps started as a member of the Royal Corps of Signals in the British Army dealing of Signals in the British Army dealing of Signals in the British Army dealing with communications. He made a bunch of with communications. He made a bunch of with communications. He made a bunch of amazing consoles. something like the amazing consoles. something like the amazing consoles. something like the Ptech equalizer. If you've ever seen one Ptech equalizer. If you've ever seen one Ptech equalizer. If you've ever seen one of these at a recording studio before, of these at a recording studio before, of these at a recording studio before, the person who worked on Ptech the person who worked on Ptech the person who worked on Ptech equalizers actually worked at RCA and equalizers actually worked at RCA and equalizers actually worked at RCA and was given a bunch of responsibilities by was given a bunch of responsibilities by was given a bunch of responsibilities by the US government for designing secret the US government for designing secret the US government for designing secret and topsecret equipment for and topsecret equipment for and topsecret equipment for communications and radar for the 
[2:03]
communications and radar for the communications and radar for the military. The reason I bring this up is military. The reason I bring this up is military. The reason I bring this up is that when I talk about military right to that when I talk about military right to that when I talk about military right to repair on this channel, which I have repair on this channel, which I have repair on this channel, which I have before, it's not simply because Rossman before, it's not simply because Rossman before, it's not simply because Rossman Repair Group has some sort of personal Repair Group has some sort of personal Repair Group has some sort of personal interest in fixing the Titan version 3 interest in fixing the Titan version 3 interest in fixing the Titan version 3 missile system. That's not something missile system. That's not something missile system. That's not something that's going to happen anytime soon. But that's going to happen anytime soon. But that's going to happen anytime soon. But rather, it's because my first experience rather, it's because my first experience rather, it's because my first experience in technology as a job came from in technology as a job came from in technology as a job came from servicing devices where it was hammered servicing devices where it was hammered servicing devices where it was hammered into my head every day that everything into my head every day that everything into my head every day that everything we were working on is downstream from we were working on is downstream from we were working on is downstream from what was going on in the military. Not what was going on in the military. Not what was going on in the military. Not just the items and the switches and the just the items and the switches and the just the items and the switches and the VU meters and the styling of the casing VU meters and the styling of the casing VU meters and the styling of the casing and the buttons, but more importantly, and the buttons, but more importantly, and the buttons, but more importantly, the culture of it. The fact that all the culture of it. The fact that all the culture of it. The fact that all this gear that we got came with 
[2:34]
this gear that we got came with this gear that we got came with schematics and diagrams and manuals and schematics and diagrams and manuals and schematics and diagrams and manuals and it was never imagined in a million years it was never imagined in a million years it was never imagined in a million years that you would try to hide this stuff that you would try to hide this stuff that you would try to hide this stuff from people. That was also from the from people. That was also from the from people. That was also from the military culture of that time. In that military culture of that time. In that military culture of that time. In that era when you sold a piece of radar era when you sold a piece of radar era when you sold a piece of radar equipment, you also got books that were equipment, you also got books that were equipment, you also got books that were this large with every unit that said this large with every unit that said this large with every unit that said exactly how to rebuild this thing from exactly how to rebuild this thing from exactly how to rebuild this thing from scratch because if you are fighting a scratch because if you are fighting a scratch because if you are fighting a war in Japan or Germany, you're going to war in Japan or Germany, you're going to war in Japan or Germany, you're going to call the manufacturers's rep and say, call the manufacturers's rep and say, call the manufacturers's rep and say, "Can I connect to your cloud system to "Can I connect to your cloud system to "Can I connect to your cloud system to figure out how to make this work?" One figure out how to make this work?" One figure out how to make this work?" One of the videos I did earlier this year, of the videos I did earlier this year, of the videos I did earlier this year, the US military might as well be dealing the US military might as well be dealing the US military might as well be dealing with the genius bar. I was playing a 
[3:05]
with the genius bar. I was playing a with the genius bar. I was playing a clip of the Secretary of the Army saying clip of the Secretary of the Army saying clip of the Secretary of the Army saying as follows. When we tour bases, you see as follows. When we tour bases, you see as follows. When we tour bases, you see pieces of equipment that can be upwards pieces of equipment that can be upwards pieces of equipment that can be upwards of two $3 million that will be unused of two $3 million that will be unused of two $3 million that will be unused for a year at a time because it's for a year at a time because it's for a year at a time because it's something that we can 3D print for a something that we can 3D print for a something that we can 3D print for a cost of $2 to $20. The American soldiers cost of $2 to $20. The American soldiers cost of $2 to $20. The American soldiers see that and they're not able to use it see that and they're not able to use it see that and they're not able to use it and that is incredibly demoralizing. I and that is incredibly demoralizing. I and that is incredibly demoralizing. I did a bunch of interviews after this did a bunch of interviews after this did a bunch of interviews after this video speaking to a number of different video speaking to a number of different video speaking to a number of different members of the military. There is a members of the military. There is a members of the military. There is a provision that was going to be put into provision that was going to be put into provision that was going to be put into the NDAA. This came from Secretary of the NDAA. This came from Secretary of the NDAA. This came from Secretary of Defense himself. It says as follows. Defense himself. It says as follows. Defense himself. It says as follows. Identify and propose contract 
[3:35]

After this happened, there contracts. After this happened, there contracts. After this happened, there was a bipartisan bill that was proposed was a bipartisan bill that was proposed was a bipartisan bill that was proposed by Senators Tim Shehy and Elizabeth by Senators Tim Shehy and Elizabeth by Senators Tim Shehy and Elizabeth Warren. Two people that it's very if you Warren. Two people that it's very if you Warren. Two people that it's very if you don't understand American politics very don't understand American politics very don't understand American politics very much, you're not going to find them much, you're not going to find them much, you're not going to find them agreeing on a lot. Uh but this this was agreeing on a lot. Uh but this this was agreeing on a lot. Uh but this this was something that they managed to both something that they managed to both something that they managed to both agree on and I thought it was a pretty

Uh this really does kind of service. Uh this really does kind of service. Uh this really does kind of ring that death nail home that you're ring that death nail home that you're ring that death nail home that you're not getting repair back. And it's not getting repair back. And it's not getting repair back. And it's something that that while I have failed something that that while I have failed something that that while I have failed consistently for a very long period of 
[5:39]
consistently for a very long period of consistently for a very long period of time to obtain real right to repair time to obtain real right to repair time to obtain real right to repair doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying. doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying. doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying. See to include right to repair See to include right to repair See to include right to repair provisions in all existing contracts and provisions in all existing contracts and provisions in all existing contracts and also ensure these provisions are also ensure these provisions are also ensure these provisions are included in all new contracts. This was included in all new contracts. This was included in all new contracts. This was making its way through. I did several making its way through. I did several making its way through. I did several videos earlier this year where I spoke videos earlier this year where I spoke videos earlier this year where I spoke with military service members that were with military service members that were with military service members that were having issues when they were in the having issues when they were in the having issues when they were in the field and had to fix things and we had a field and had to fix things and we had a field and had to fix things and we had a bunch of interviews posted in the bunch of interviews posted in the bunch of interviews posted in the channel.

Uh defense contractors fight back against NDA repair language. What's 
[6:40]
against NDA repair language. What's against NDA repair language. What's going on right now is they would like to going on right now is they would like to going on right now is they would like to take the right to repair language that take the right to repair language that take the right to repair language that is in this most recent contract and they is in this most recent contract and they is in this most recent contract and they would like to essentially strike it all would like to essentially strike it all would like to essentially strike it all out, just do a giant X and replace it out, just do a giant X and replace it out, just do a giant X and replace it with something called data as a service. with something called data as a service. with something called data as a service. Now, before I explain what data as a Now, before I explain what data as a Now, before I explain what data as a service is or what this means, service is or what this means, service is or what this means, what do you think it means? what do you think it means? what do you think it means? Give you some hints. Just I'm just throw Give you some hints. Just I'm just throw Give you some hints. Just I'm just throw some things out there. Remember heated some things out there.

There are enough things that service. There are enough things that service. There are enough things that are turning into services. And what they are turning into services. And what they are turning into services. And what they want to do here is because it has the want to do here is because it has the want to do here is because it has the word service, it sounds like, oh, look, word service, it sounds like, oh, look, word service, it sounds like, oh, look, you want repair service, we're going to 
[7:11]
you want repair service, we're going to you want repair service, we're going to offer service here. You're fine. Data as offer service here. You're fine. Data as offer service here. You're fine. Data as a service means that rather than a service means that rather than a service means that rather than actually be able to do the work in house actually be able to do the work in house actually be able to do the work in house easily, you are now going to have to easily, you are now going to have to easily, you are now going to have to contact the manufacturer and go, please, contact the manufacturer and go, please, contact the manufacturer and go, please, sir, we're the Department of Defense, sir, we're the Department of Defense, sir, we're the Department of Defense, but would you mind giving us access to but would you mind giving us access to but would you mind giving us access to the repair tool so I can replace the the repair tool so I can replace the the repair tool so I can replace the broken part on our system? Do you have broken part on our system? Do you have broken part on our system? Do you have an active subscription? an active subscription? an active subscription? >> Maybe. >> Maybe. >> Maybe. Go away. But I'm in the South China Sea Go away. But I'm in the South China Sea Go away.

Please no. 
[7:41]
no. no. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit there, but that's what this is. Data bit there, but that's what this is. Data bit there, but that's what this is. Data as a service means the Department of as a service means the Department of as a service means the Department of Defense has to ask major contractors for Defense has to ask major contractors for Defense has to ask major contractors for permission every time the Department of permission every time the Department of permission every time the Department of Defense needs repair tools or data. This Defense needs repair tools or data. This Defense needs repair tools or data. This is going to cause more delays and is going to cause more delays and is going to cause more delays and contested logistics environments with contested logistics environments with contested logistics environments with service members having to get onetime service members having to get onetime service members having to get onetime access to data that they need to repair access to data that they need to repair access to data that they need to repair broken equipment from somebody who knows broken equipment from somebody who knows broken equipment from somebody who knows it better than me. Data as a service is it better than me. Data as a service is it better than me. Data as a service is a meme. Data as a service is heated a meme. Data as a service is heated a meme. Data as a service is heated seats as a service. As a service is seats as a service. As a service is seats as a service. As a service is exactly what you think it is. It's exactly what you think it is. It's exactly what you think it is. It's taking something that used to be taking something that used to be taking something that used to be something that you got when you bought something that you got when you bought something that you got when you bought the product and figuring out a way to the product and figuring out a way to the product and figuring out a way to charge you a recurring fee and to milk 
[8:11]
charge you a recurring fee and to milk charge you a recurring fee and to milk you for the rest of your life. And one you for the rest of your life. And one you for the rest of your life. And one of the problems that I have with that of the problems that I have with that of the problems that I have with that coming to the military is that once that coming to the military is that once that coming to the military is that once that comes to the military, whatever hope comes to the military, whatever hope comes to the military, whatever hope that we have to fight back against that that we have to fight back against that that we have to fight back against that in the consumer space is gone. A lot of in the consumer space is gone. A lot of in the consumer space is gone. A lot of items and things that we use in the items and things that we use in the items and things that we use in the consumer space come downstream from the consumer space come downstream from the consumer space come downstream from the military. And more importantly, when you military. And more importantly, when you military. And more importantly, when you hear people say that this is going to hear people say that this is going to hear people say that this is going to hurt innovation, many of the devices hurt innovation, many of the devices hurt innovation, many of the devices that are still in use today come from that are still in use today come from that are still in use today come from innovations that were created during a innovations that were created during a innovations that were created during a time when the military created products time when the military created products time when the military created products that came with full service manuals, that came with full service manuals, that came with full service manuals, full diagnostic information. The Titan full diagnostic information. The Titan full diagnostic information. The Titan missile system didn't have data missile system didn't have data missile system didn't have data as a service. They gave the military as a service. They gave the military as a service. They gave the military what they needed to be able to service 
[8:42]
what they needed to be able to service what they needed to be able to service it. The LA2A, when you bought that, you it. The LA2A, when you bought that, you it. The LA2A, when you bought that, you could get schematics, diagrams, could get schematics, diagrams, could get schematics, diagrams, everything from Yuri so that down to the everything from Yuri so that down to the everything from Yuri so that down to the nuts and bolts, you get the nuts and bolts, you get the nuts and bolts, you get the exact same items to recreate that entire exact same items to recreate that entire exact same items to recreate that entire item from scratch. And innovation item from scratch. And innovation item from scratch. And innovation continued. The idea that innovation is continued. The idea that innovation is continued. The idea that innovation is going to go away as a result of this going to go away as a result of this going to go away as a result of this passing is insane. So, let's take a look passing is insane.
