I dont think wanting to have the option to repair something deserves such ridicule, from my experience working in fridges, washing machines etc back in the early 2000s one of the biggest complaints was it was uneconomical to repair these items anymore. Im not sure why as a society we have moved so far into the mentality of replace over repair.

I don't say it's a problem, I'm was actually making an argument that fixing modern equipment isn't easy, and you need considerably more things than just a cheap soldering station with a hot air gun.
