> As long as a device can be repaired by the owner as much as practical and allows aftermarket operating systems or software to be installed on it, I don't see why a company should have unlimited liability for something they sold. Unfortunately, most people cannot support devices themselves, even though many of us here can. I do believe a company should have unlimited liability for something they made: why not? At least for 15 years. Most electronics break then so the company should have the responsibility of recycling it should the consumer send back a broken one. This would reduce the environmental impact of electronic devices and make developing new technology less profitable, which is a good thing.
