I have taught at least three people how to do simple repairs and upgrades on laptops.
Anyone that can read and use their brain can strip a laptop down to components and reassemble it.

Armchair dipshits like to slag on Louis Rossmann, but did lead repair sessions where he would teach people how to do hot air pcb rework. Dude walks the talk and empowers people.
You are missing my point.
No one’s dismissing Rossmann or the value of empowerment. The problem is acting like isolated efforts equal systemic change. If this were as easy as you claim, the landscape would reflect that.
So yes, you’re missing the point. Passion is fine, but without policy, infrastructure, and incentives, it goes nowhere.
So how do we start?
Same token, sounds like you're arguing, not doing.
