They already do that.
They've been doing that even before decimalization of drive capacity; for almost most of the 80s, retailers and manufacturers were advertising HDD by their UNFORMATTED capacity in large print and formatted capacity in fine print.
Maybe things are different in the rest of the country but.... a background and vehicle check? Most of the employees at Walmart I've met couldn't pass a sanity check...
For the most part, one has to be insane to work for Wally World as a foot soldier. As such, instituting a sanity check would be detrimental to their employee pool.
Actually this is illegal. There are laws in place that let you repair your own equipment. If I owned an iphone I would just take them to court and watch them lose.
They can have the case tied up in court for years. You'll go bankrupt just paying your landshark.

Actually I heard Venus is pretty nice around this time of year...
(for the humor impaired, look up the Marching Morons)
Han Solo shoots first... and so do Vulcans. I did not know Han was trained in the ways of Vulcans.
Well, many millions of years ago, someone argued coming down from the trees will lead us to our doom...
People still keep Adobe Flash on their system?
PayPal issues credit cards, pays interest on balance... but still isn't (regulated as) a bank (in North America.)
Evaluating whether an update bricks a TV or not is the job for the MANUFACTURER, not the user.
Why pay real money for in house QA group when you can have paying customers do it for free?
apparently covered in the TFA; "open office" is only for rank and file. Executives have their REAL offices on the 4th floor.

It's both.
reminds me a lot of Detroit in the 50s and 60s. The cars looked nice, but most are absolute crap under the hood.

Some VCs are starting to pull out from these unprofitable unicorns.
If they pull out early enough they will have an easier time fighting the paternity suits.
They're pulling out alright, just not the head or the orifice you're thinking of.

The Forbin Project comes to mind.

Apple III from 1980s called, and want its SOS back.
... or why buying boot-locked (indeed, any DRM'ed) product is a BAD IDEA (tm).

Trump is hell bent on making it happen by 2020.
This is the best global warming in the world. It's fantastic global warming.
