Godammn vacuum cleaner broke. Took it apart, its just a part of the brush roller that is broken. Should be an easy fix. But they don’t sell spare parts for my vacuum. They never have, they just want you to buy a new one. So one little easily replaced plastic bit makes the whole thing into non-functional mostly plastic waste. The vacuum is even clearly designed to be easily repaired, it’s one of the most intelligently laid out appliances I’ve ever seen.
But it’s not profitable to sell spare parts, so I have to send this thing to a landfill if I can’t figure out some ghetto fix. This intentional wastefulness is one of the things that pisses me off about capitalism nearly every day.
I’m thinking about doing this but I heard it can ruin the waterproofing and I really like having that peace of mind
Wait…when you buy a phone it comes locked? Here that only happens for free/cheap phones on plans. You buy the phone pre-paid you have no issue
Unlocked phones cost astronomical prices in the us.
This is partially a money grab and partially due to laws that restrict burner phones.
What, so even once you’ve paid it off, it’s still locked to that carrier?
