Similar, if the motherboard of my stove goes, it shuoldnt cost $700 for what basically an arduino.
You just gave me an idea. The mobo on a stove is just a PWM temperature controller, it probably doesn't even use a PID loop. Drop in replacement boards would sell like crazy on eBay.
ThinkPads used to be like this but now there are only one or two models that are actually reparable (and oh my god did I pay a premium to get one). Being able to buy a machine and know that it was reparable for the next 10 years was THE reason I bought ThinkPad.
In 2008 I bought a W500, I used it until 2018 and replaced 2 screen backs, a keyboard, a battery, an HDD, and added more RAM in those 10 years. Coming out to about $160 per year if you spread out the cost.
Crooked government deals? In Canada?
