Andy built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 12, when IDE cables were a thing and high resolution wasn't. After spending over 15 years in the production industry overseeing a variety of live and recorded projects, he started writing his own PC hardware blog for a year in the hope that people might send him things. Sometimes they did.

Successful business partnerships rely on co-operation, open communication, and shared goals. None of which appears to have been present in the partnership between iFixit and Samsung, as the former has announced it's cutting ties with the South Korean tech giant over multiple repairability concerns.

"The part prices were so costly that many consumers opted to replace their devices rather than repair them. And the design of Samsung's Galaxy devices remained frustratingly glued together, forcing us to sell batteries and screens in pre-glued bundles that increased the cost.""We tried to make this work. Gosh, we tried. But with such divergent priorities, we're no longer able to proceed.

Samsung has yet to publicly respond to iFixit's comments, but if it did, at this point I'd be expecting a rebuttal that involved unpaid parking tickets, accusations of infidelity, and a wish for an open discussion on who gets to keep the family dog. Noble goals, no doubt. However, when it comes to this particular partnership towards a more sustainable future, iFixit seems to have packed its bags and left for good.
