If such powerful smart folders weren’t enough, I can now add actions to the smart folders and further modify my data. The sheer flexibility of the criteria one can use (17 different kinds, from tags to notes to labels to file size to URL to creation date to just about you-name-it), combined with the ability to nest criterion give me unmatched horsepower in terms of seeing my gigabytes of research data the way I want to see. The new custom smart folders are a huge leap forward in terms of being able to filter and modify one’s data in EF. Every new feature makes EagleFiler incredibly more usable and versatile.

People will upgrade BECAUSE OF THAT REASON.All I can say is WOW! What a terrific update. I think the repairability (and increased longevity of hardware) should be part of report on environment.Īpple should not fear their computers lasting a long time. Still, I can see nothing but good for users in helping third parties get the right tools and parts to do these repairs. (And they are, by the way I have done both for friends’ devices.) Of course, it is less freeing that so much of our computing these days is obfuscated and less welcoming to tinkering, but that may be a price we must pay to have devices that feel less like an assemblage of parts. There are certainly components in a highly-miniaturized device that would not be sensible for most users to repair or replace themselves - though I do think battery and screen replacements should be doable by customers. I find it frustrating that Apple - and others - are working so hard to kill legislation rather than trying to find a middle ground closer to what they’re already doing. Apple Fighting New “Right to Repair” Legislation.Apple Sued an Independent iPhone Repair Shop Owner and Lost.Amazon Kicks Off Unauthorized Apple Refurbishers.Recycling hardware for raw materials is hugely wasteful (in the rare instances it even happens) vs. The slides associated with the program, obtained by Motherboard, suggest that Apple could comply with right to repair legislation without much burden.Īpple’s stance against making hardware user repairable seriously negates all their ambitions towards being a ‘green’ company. Though Apple hasn’t publicly talked much about repair in recent months and years, Motherboard reported in March that Apple has quietly approached independent repair companies with a new program called “ Apple Genuine Parts Repair,” which would allow a select few companies to purchase repair parts from Apple with few restrictions. The argument is similar to one made publicly by Apple executive Lisa Jackson in 2017 at TechCrunch Disrupt, when she said the iPhone is “too complex” for normal people to repair them. The lobbyists said that if improperly disassembled, consumers who are trying to fix their own iPhone could hurt themselves by puncturing the lithium-ion battery, the sources, who Motherboard is not naming because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said. The lobbyists brought an iPhone to the meetings and showed lawmakers and their legislative aides the internal components of the phone. In recent weeks, an Apple representative and a lobbyist for CompTIA, a trade organization that represents big tech companies, have been privately meeting with legislators in California to encourage them to kill legislation that would make it easier for consumers to repair their electronics, Motherboard has learned.
