@schwa @amyworrall if they can’t make the repair process more affordable, then they should really be offering longer warranties. There’s just way too much electronics being junked because it’s too expensive for consumers to repair.
@mo @schwa @amyworrall but but but… planned obsolescence is a major component of modern capitalism. How else can they guarantee gains every quarter for eternity? Have you no empathy for the shareholders?
@mo @schwa @amyworrall In Norway there's at least 3 year warranty on all products, 5 for some based on expected lifetime of the product, by law. Warranty does not include misuse, natural wear and tear, and parts that are expected to degrade with use
