USteve Wozniak, Umsunguli We-Apple, iveze ukusekelwa kwelungelo labathengi lokunquma ukuthi bazoyilungisa kuphi i-hardware yabo futhi kanjani. Ngokusho kukaWozniak, i-Apple ibingeke ibe khona ukube abathengi bebengenalo ilungelo lokulungisa i-hardware yabo ngaphandle kokwesaba ukuphindiselwa.
Abakhiqizi abaningi behardware, i-Apple eyaziwa kakhulu unezinqubomgomo ezikhawulela izinketho zabasebenzisi zokulungisa, Kungaba okwenza ukuthi kungafinyeleleki kulwazi lobuchwepheshe noma kuvimbele ukuthengiswa kwezinsimbi ezisemthethweni. Ngakho-ke, le mikhuba isezinhlanganweni zamalungelo abathengi.
I-Durante ikholi yevidiyo enoLouis Rossmann, isishoshovu esasinamalungelo okulungisa, uWozniak ucele ukuthi inkampani yakhe yangaphambili vumela abanikazi ukuthi balungise futhi bashintshe i-hardware yaboNjengezinsuku zokuqala zenkampani.
Ngokusho kukaSteve, I-Apple ibingeke ibe khona ukube yena noSteve Jobs bebenqatshelwe ikhono lokuqaqa, ukucubungula, ukuguqula nokulungisa i-hardware. Ngendlela efanayo ukhumbule ukuthi impumelelo enkulu ye-Apple II bekuwukuyithengisa ngezikimu zokwakha. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, wazibuza:
Manje kungani ubamisa? Kungani uyeka umphakathi wokulungisa izimoto?
Yini ilungelo lokulungisa
Yize i-Wozniak, ngenxa yomlando wayo, inentshisekelo yokuthi abasebenzisi bakwazi ukuguqula i-hardware yabo, lesi sinyathelo siyasebenziseka nakubasebenzisi abajwayelekile. Ilungelo lokulungisa lisho ukungakwazi kuphela ukukhetha uchwepheshe esimyisa kuye imishini yethu futhi sikwazi ukunquma ukuthi sifuna ukuyiguqula nini.
Ngokombono wemvelo, unyaka nonyaka lapho abathengi begcina ama-smartphones abo, umthelela kwezemvelo utholakala ulingana nokushiya izimoto ezingama-636,000 egalaji.
Ilungelo lokulungisa ukunyakaza lifuna lokho ohulumeni emhlabeni wonke baphoqelela abakhiqizi bezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha ukuba benze izingxenye ezisele kanye nolwazi oludingekayo lutholakale kubantu abanentshisekelo ukukwazi ukwenza ngokukhululeka ukulungisa nokulungisa. Kuze kube manje imithetho yendawo iyehluka kakhulu.
Kusuka kwa-Apple baphikisana (kuze kube manje ngempumelelo) lokho abathengi bangalimala bezama ukulungisa imishini yaboIsibonelo, ngokubhoboza amabhethri e-iPhone nokukhiqiza "amandla omlilo okuzenzakalelayo". IPhini likaMongameli we-Apple we-Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, uLisa Jackson, uqhubekele phambili, wathi ama-Apple iPhones "anzima kakhulu" ukuthi angawalungisa.
Badinga ukuthi babuze abomthetho ukuthi bazimisele yini ukuphathisa ukulungisa izinto eziyinkimbinkimbi kubantu abavotayo njengoba bevota.
Noma kunjalo, izinto zibonakala zishintsha. Ngakolunye uhlangothi bobabili i-United Kingdom kanye ne-European Union bamukela umtsetfo lomelene nekuphelelwa sikhatsi lokuhlelelwe okudinga abakhiqizi bezinto zokusebenza ukuvumela ukulungiswa kweminyaka eyi-10 kusukela ngosuku lokuthenga. Ngakho-ke, izinkampani kufanele zisebenzise izindlela zokwakha nezinqubo zokukhiqiza ezivumela abathengi ukuthi balungise i-Hardware yabo ngaphandle kokulimala noma ukuguqulwa kokusebenza, ngaphezu kokwenza lula ukutholwa kwezingxenye zokungcebeleka zoqobo ngemigudu yokusabalalisa esemthethweni.
E-United States kuze kube manje kulo nyakanoma, ezifundeni ezingama-27 kwezingama-50, izikweletu zeLungelo Lokukhokhelwa zacatshangelwa. Kodwa-ke, kulokhu, ngaphezu kuka-50% sekunqatshiwe. Umuntu waseMassachusetts kuphela owakwenza umthetho.
Ngokusho kubika iBloomberg, Izinkampani ezinkulu ze-tech ezifana ne-Apple ne-Google ziphendukele kubonisi ababizwa nge-TechNet othumele izincwadi kubasishayamthetho bezwe. Isikhundla sakhe senziwe sacaca esitatimendeni esisayinwe nguDavid Edmonson, iphini lakhe likamongameli:
Ukuvumela abantu besithathu abangahloliwe ukuthola ulwazi oluyimfihlo lokuxilonga, isoftware, amathuluzi nezingxenye kungabeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwamadivayisi wabathengi futhi kubeke abathengi engcupheni yokukhwabanisa.
Kodwa-ke, i-tide ingaguquka hhayi kuphela ngenxa yokuxhaswa nguWoznia.k. IFederal Trade Commission iphikise umbiko wayo kwiCongress yathi uhlelo olukhona manje lwe-elekthronikhi yomthengi lulimaza ukuncintisana.I-AI nentuthuko yezomnotho ezindaweni ezihola kancane. Ebhekisa ngqo ezinkingeni zokuthola imishini yokuthola imfundo yamabanga, wathi:
Ubhadane luye lwandisa imiphumela yemikhawulo yokulungisa kubathengi. Kunobufakazi obuncane bokuxhasa ukulungiswa kwabakhiqizi ngemikhawulo yokulungisa
