We may be the world’s largest online repair community, but we’re not the only one. There are a number of famous fixers across the interwebs who are not only passionate about how tech works, but dedicated to teaching people how to fix the tech they own.
ZacksJerryRig reviews the latest devices with a focus on how durable and repairable they are. Linus Tech Tips is well-known for dropping everything, so naturally, he’s an expert at fixing everything when it breaks. UFD Tech shares his takes on the latest modding and building trends, and Strange Parts reports on them from on the ground in Shenzhen.
But it’s not everyday that they all come together to share why they love fixing and taking stuff apart. Over the past couple of weeks, they’ve shared the stories behind their repair expertise with #ImAGenius—because even the best repair techs started from square one. From the gamers to the earth-savers, here’s what tech YouTube’s professional fixers had to say about starting self-repair.
To our fixer friends, thank you for helping us unlock the genius inside each of us. Together, you help make this crazy mission of teaching everyone how to fix every thing a reality.
No mention of Louis Rossman? That’s a bit low :(
Louis Rossman deserves top mention
My opinion
We could do an entire series on Louis. or perhaps will one day. His humor, style, and wealth of information dwarf this entire site. I’ve subscribed to him for years and will never, ever fix those criminal’s – oops – I meant Apple products.
I fixit probably couldn’t get Louis Rossmann to shill their products for them which is why he’s not mentioned here.
The same geniuses whom refer to Louis Rossmann when it comes to Apple and shady business practice? I’ve not viewed a Rossman video in months. This is important because I don’t want to appear a fanboy when pledging not to purchase products from a company choosing and promoting profitable marketing over their own message. I’ve personally witnessed promoting of iFix products within aforementioned YouTuber’s video content. Proclaiming ignorance would twist the proverbial knife. It saddens me to view a company like iFix become part of a problem by employing individuals clueless of the company’s core competency or message. This is so asinine, it should raise concern and provoke transparent investigative research. An apology should be viewed with skepticism.
