Jokes on them as I don't care about my warranties, never did. Call me a dumb consumer, but atleast I wrecked the big evil corporation.
edit: I didn't know about Nintnedo doing this, I just knew about the cheaply made joycons that would drift by deSign after a certain point. The sollution to this was so simple but Nintendo chose not to fix it for the entire Switch's life spawn.
Leaving it up to 3rd party switch controller manufacturers. Which who knows how long untill they try to ban 3rd party controllers on Nintendo consoles.
You didn’t wreck the big corps. You opted yourself out of their warranty thereby saving them any money they would’ve had to spend on repairing your purchase during the defined warranty window. If anything you lined their pockets by making yourself a cheaper customer.
Which is why I said you could call me a a dumb consumer. but actually..
in a way, I did wreck them in the specific context of this post, because if I don't care about the warranty then what other reason do I have to obey their demand to not fix it myself.
edit: they want you to either pay them for repairs, or rely on their warranties, and/or to buy an entirely new device. They hate it when consumer know how to repair and fix their devices themselves. Particularly in the tech industry.
I share the DIY repair sentiment, but the other commenter was right. You saved them money by opting yourself out of their warranty, which is free to you, but costs them money. Now, if you had used the warranty and then repaired things yourself after it's no longer free, that would be a nice FU to them.
