Rules
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage: lemmy.ca
This doesn't just apply to personal electronics or cars. It'll also prevent farmers from being sued just for changing the oil of their John Deer tractors, or hospitals being out their MRI machine for months because the entire thing needs to be disassembled and transported back to the states to replace a single cable.
Don't imagine about the annoyance of having to change the battery of your electronics, but instead about having to decide between shipping your home's water boiler to the repair facility for weeks to replace a single control chip, or buying a new one because you can't afford to go so long without hot water.
