Kinda off-topic but not. I agree 100% with everything knc1 said. The basic principle of "I bought it so I own it and control it" is a war that's been going on for 20 years now - a David v Goliath war in multiple industries. Phones, Kindles, gaming consoles, computers, radios, tractors, cars...and we've been losing since the DMCA passed. However, there is good news!

Right to repair legislation across numerous states has been proposed, but again, it's grassroots vs Microsoft, Amazon, John Deere, Apple, Cisco, etc.

A few weeks ago, All State insurance bought Icracked, a huge 3rd party phone repair chain. All State has said they are going to loan out their lobbyists to weigh in on the side of us now, if you can believe it. I have great hopes for 2019/2020 in this area.
