Once one gets away with it, it's only a matter of time until it becomes industry standard practice and we have companies everywhere trying to sponsorblock innocent void cats
All down to poor regulation. The EU have/are bringing in pro-repair regulations. National politicians however, are corrupted by big business too much.
Hahaha…Aja. Excellent album. But it is “R-gah” 😂
Are Aga or Rayburn stoves found in restaurants?
I don't think so.
That should be a HUGE red flag.
Aga is pronounced – Ah-gah
Well I can tell you used to be 30 years ago you couldn't walk into hone depot and buy soffit without a license nor could you buy alot of plumbing stuff electrical .
It’s pronounced Arga
It's pronouced arr ga
Ok. I've got a few years more than you. But I remember the days a new TV came with schematics. We spent days injecting the video signals for payTV in the right spot.
Capitalism at it's finest.
To be honest, outside of older cars, I didn't think anyone was even repairing anything. Cause why allow people to repair if you can just force your suppliers to not sell to anyone other than you, and therefore force people to buy another one of your shitty products or repair their current one for almost as much as a new one costs.
It's the dream business model, and it only works because people are too weak to rebel these days. Too many years fattening up our asses living comfortable lives to bother fighting for customer rights. Corporate greed knows no bounds and we'll be living in cyberpunk 2077 before we even hit '77
Using still my toshiba from 2012.
Runs good and will serve another 10 years for sure
Ford does the same thing.
Hey Louis, how about starting a new certification for products… lets call it "LR Seal of Approval". Companies would need to provide a written guarantee that parts will be available for a certain number of years, and after that they continue to either provide parts, or the full specification for the parts becomes available, allowing a 3rd party to make them? I would certainly look for products with such a promise.
Long time follower of your right to repair journey, I was wondering when you were gonna stumble upon the same sort of nonsense that domestic appliance manufacturers are up to. I work in appliance repair and it's a major issue in some instances.
I come here for the kittehs, but am always happy to have a little consumer news thrown in as well
This is why the world needs copyright infringement. Go to Shenzhen, someone will sell you a clone of that MacBook mobo chip. Just like someone in Ukraine will sell you a cracked John Deere tractor software. We need these "notorious markets" countries that make these clones.
My brother works in outsourced customer support and hooo-boy.
About 10 years ago these extremely high end induction cooktops came out. Completely non serviceable but with innate faults that caused them to fail in the same way. It was my Stepbrother's job to tell these customers over the phone that their 15000+ dollar appliance was cooked, no this was not covered by warranty and the only solution was to 'Buy a New One(tm)'
Words to live by in this age: if it is “high end” stay away. Never buy anything that requires a software/firmware update for repair or ongoing use. The only exceptions are computers, printers, smart phones and those FitBit watch things, if you must. Yes, this means finding a vehicle that predates software fixes. You will be fine.
Love the Steely Dan references!
We got you 🙂 *
Ownership of any product has become SaaS; Software as a Service. Everyone is forced to live from paycheck to paycheck, every penny you take home is allocated before you put it in your pocket. That way they can exercise maximum control over you.
Life For Rent; At least when you're renting, something goes wrong, you walk away. In this case you pay upfront, anything goes wrong is on you and then be forced to replace through planned obsolescence.
Buy old crap. I have a 99 Expedition and some 40+ year old appliances. They all still work.
I can't believe they actually didn't sponsor block Blackberry, I love the community lmao.
I bought a side by side Kitchenaid freezer and fridge for $1300 total. Added a pedestal and frame for $300. Now have an equivalent side by side freezer and fridge worth $5000. People overpay easily 3x because they are suckers.
I have a 90s or ealy 2000 GE coil stove. Every part for that damn thing is on Amazon. I have already replaced an oven burner, coil, and control knob thingy.
How about communicating fan motor on a 10 year old furnace unit being on back order for 40+ days from factory? How many people will wait when we are just coming into summer?
Great job, Rayburn. I'll NEVER buy your products and make sure to tell everyone I know not to buy from you. Your credibility is in the toilet. Rot.
a good video and blackbarry … spoiling us i see
nothing is unrepairable. skill can mend all. consumers do not need to buy, we simply separated the worker from the means of production. now we all suffer
The Aga is not exactly a stove, it's a sort of hybrid stove-furnace.
Now I won't be buying an Aga.
My great aunt is still using her stove she bought in 1978 so why is it I can't use a stove today until 2040
The Happy Merchants have been screwing consumers over for the last two-thousand years. Louis Rossmann isn’t the first in a long line of brilliant spokesmen for the everyday consumer, and he won’t be the last because we will continue to let them screw us over from now until the end of time.
I have a gas furnace from the 70's that the only thing I have done is replace the motor and bearings in the blower in 17 years. All generic parts, simple 1/3 hp motor, generic thermocuple, fan limit switch you can buy on Amazon, no electronincs; stuff that would make energy energy efficiency advocates have a heart attack. Previous gas guy I used to use, "Hey good to see this old thing still going, keep it going until it dies. It might be inefficient but cheap to fix as he grumbles about how nobody fixes things anymore and newer stuff will never last this long.". He retires and sells his business. New guy "That thing is old, I can give you a deal on a new one, it's not repairable (other words for I don't know how to work on anything older than me or have a desire to).". My way of looking at it is if something is safe and serviceable keep it going. That has to count for something. I feel that a lot of these new fancy devices including some EV automobiles will not be around 20 years from now.
