How is a pre-existing manufacturing defect in a device a consequence of me competently modifying the device, so that that would then justify that I have to pay to replace the defective product?
- freedomben 9y agoIt's not. But if you try to flash some incompatible custom rom and end up bricking your device, that isn't the manufacturers fault. Yet you seem to be arguing that they should foot the bill for it.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y agoWhere do you think I said anything like that?
- freedomben 9y agoI re-read your posts carefully, and I concede that you did not actually state or imply that an incompetent modification should be covered. I think I'm actually in complete agreement with what you've said (at least in this thread, can't speak to other threads ATM cause I haven't read them all). Perhaps our only disagreement may be on whether governments should enforce this, or whether companies should do it on their own. I fully agree with the latter (in fact I bought a phone from OnePlus specifically for this reason).
