So much to learn here. When there is something you don't want to talk about, say "we have to set this aside for a more robust conversation".

Translation “Senator, this “hearing” is hardly the place nor the time to try and “hear” arguments on this matter. We prefer to take this offline where we can more casually persuade you to agree with us”

Honest question as someone not from the US: How would competition solve this problem - are we talking about another console (we have a lot, playstation, wii, xbox etc.), or about more repair options? Thouse would then need to be certified by Microsoft if you´d like to keep guarantee. And would competition solve the problem for forever? Or only until one competitor grows so much better no one else can enter the market anymore? Wouldn´t it be better to have certain laws or regulations assuring certain services? I dont mean laws describing every step that should be done... just those that state common sense, e.g. the reparing a fan should not lead to a new device erased of data without being asked for consent.

@MidnightSt

@@Atheluin yes, they mean more repair options. and no, they wouldn't need to be certified by microsoft, because user reviews and ratings exist. but you probably meant "if you want to keep (product's) warranty". which... yes, that's true. but in that case, there should be an easy and reasonable option for getting certified, without having to be jumping through absurd hoops and limitations of the kind that Louis talks about in some video here, where you're also forced to buy parts only from the Apple/Microsoft, and buy them one-by-one, and they only get sent to you after they've recieved the old part. oh, but also - in a free repair market, warranty becomes largely irrelevant. right now, warranty is very important for these devices, because if you break it, the only company able to repair these devices fully (the manufacturer) will refuse to do so, if you break the warranty. however, if all 3rd party repair shops would be able to repair the devices cheaply and fully, the fact that the original manufacturer refuses to do so because you've broken the warranty, becomes almost irrelevant. basically, sane certification process, and sane process of buying replacement parts in bulk would be a perfect solution. "Or only until one competitor grows so much better no one else can enter the market anymore?" a company growing so much BETTER. is perfectly fine, since the point of competition is to make market provide the best possible service to customer. the problem would be if one competitor grew SO LARGE (without actually being the best) that it would gobble up everything. but then, competition would take him down, via other companies *actually providing BETTER service* so yes, competition just ensures dynamic where the best service eventually rises to the top. "Wouldn´t it be better to have certain laws or regulations assuring certain services?" there's a more important, core issue, which you seem to not take into account. this whole thing isn't just about customer service and repairs, at its core, it's an issue of principle - do you ACTUALLY OWN the device that you have bought, or is it still de-facto owned by the company you bought it from? and this issue of principle might even be more important, and far-reaching, than the practicalities of the repairs themselves. however it is decided, it creates a precedent, and makes a step in a certain direction for the future. and it's either the direction which ultimately leads (taken to its final extreme) to being able to repair and modify electronic devices that you own, or being explicitly forbidden to even open them, under the threat of some laws and sanctions (or even jail).

But instead, we have people who think they're the law and in charge when they really work for us, but not anymore. This country isn't what it was intended to be. It's been hijacked by power hungry, soulless, and scaley demons lol

@@fluG4M3 Bunch of stupid baby boomers running technological lobbies when they couldn't even build and overclock their own computer... Oh wait, I'm suppose to respect my elders... my bad. Reminds me of the Packard Bell Pentium 100 machines back in the late 90's rofl... My college buddy had one, and it was way slower than a Gateway 2000 486 dx2 66... When he finally got sick of it, we went to work on the case with a hacksaw (the only way into it) and found they put a Pentium sticker on some old poopy processor (think it was a 386). It was housed in an impregnable case, where you would destroy the computer trying to get into it. This is the kinda "technology" Charlie Brown here is all about.

It will be soon. Atari was back in the 80's and anybody in the 90's or later is very familiar with gaming. Within 20 years, all politicians will either be gamers or over the age of 70.
