This is only a problem in the short run until the first cases surface where the exploding phones and BSODing computers were due to crappy repairs. Then you will invariably get people assuming and accusing those with faulty hardware that they got only themselves to blame.
Frankly, if self-repair was already the case, I bet it would have taken Samsung a LOT longer to recall those S7s, if at all.
Especially with TVs, I'd take repairing over buying new today. Not despite tech not moving but because it's moving in a direction I really cannot like.
I dare you to hook up a current TV to an unfiltered internet connection...
If more people have access to the right tools and parts, more people can offer the service of repairing, thus increasing competition, enabling people with the skills and knowledge to do so to open a business and earn a living.
Not allowing it would create monopolies that can dictate which and how many places offer the service, much like in a planned economy. That reeks of Communism!
I like the scent of bitter almonds. And I etch PCBs with HCl and H2O2, you think any amount of chlorine that is not outright killing me could still faze me?
Exactly, there are no studies indicating whether its harmful or not, therefore i would greatly prefer not to be inhaling a cocktail of chemicals which may have as yet unknown detrimental effects on my health.
Then you should probably move to a remote island without any kind of industry or civilization.
There's a lot of things that I consider annoying in people, does that mean I get to forbid talking loudly, people scratching themselves in private places, people being obnoxious to the wait staff, children in general, people who are visibly sick but still handle my food,...
The problem is: How is it your problem? I could see passive smoke in traditional cigarettes, but I'm still waiting for the "passive smoke" studies of vaping.
Merely nitpicking, but slave-trade in Europe started being made illegal in 1792 - the notion that differently-coloured people were inferior was going away by 1800, and only maintained for financial gain.
So... I guess this show was not racist but rather some of that odd British humor I keep hearing about?
Sure. Not only that, even more suck up to the bully hoping that they will somehow get some of the scraps that he drops while fleecing the others for lunch money.
Doesn't change the fact that they'll immediately throw tomatoes at him if they feel they can get rid of him.

Then I guess you're equally demanding the ban of ICEs as you demanded the ban on cigarettes.
Ok, and now for loud and obnoxious people, and how I don't hear them if I so please.

Don't worry, there are three stages of brain aging.
First only you notice. This is worrying.
Then others notice it too. This sucks.
Then only others notice it anymore. This is great.
I'll start with the severing of their spinal cords, you try the rest, deal?
Well, mostly because they eliminated most other ways you could die.
You know why most people die of cancer these days? Because we don't die earlier from diseases anymore.
More in Apple shops. You know them as "genius".
The problem we face today is that longevity increases, but healthy years don't.
People on average are poorer than they were. And being poor is a surprisingly huge factor when it comes to life expectancy.
This is not enough, and it is not stressed enough!
Don't you know that it is NEVER enough?
Show me ONE study that any of these things are present in remotely harmful concentrations outside the user's mouth.

Put any of these things on and wear them to work, if you still have a job tomorrow, tell us what your boss said.
Now if they remove the Mary Sue characters it just ain't no real Star Trek anymore.
They lost their ways, man. That's just not the Star Trek fanfic I grew up with.
It's especially curious how the future always has the current fashion sense, listens to contemporary music, how building aesthetics haven't changed...
Probably because in 1800 it was normal to own people and "everyone knew" that black people are inferior to "us".
In 2000, it's no longer allowed to own people but there are still some who didn't quite get the memo about equality...
Could well be that it takes more than another 200 years until LBQTBBQWTF is no longer an issue.
The difference between 1600 and 1700 isn't that big, the argument stands.
N... no. No he isn't. Can't be. P ... please? Turing must be alive!
