Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Thankfully Jonathan was able to take it to an independent repair shop for a $75 CAD adhesive fix (and battery replacement?) despite Apple's restrictions against them.

Welcome to the internet bud. A little late aren’t you?

I'm not saying I'm new to the Internet Just saying that it's been a while since I've seen someone use rofl

I have no idea where you got the idea that I'm new to the Internet

[–] Coreidan 1 points 8 months ago

The fact that people use rofl as an expression all the time yet some how you claim you haven’t seen it in years makes it appear you have little to no experience with the internet.

I guess what I really should have asked was, do you live under a rock or something?
