Oh, you thought you OWNED that phone? You just have a license to use it... You know, there was a time when your stuff was yours when you bought it AND it came with a schematic that you could use to repair it if it broke. I know a lot of stuff is far more complicated now but a LOT of equipment can be fixed fairly easily if you read a little and have instructions/schematics that ALREADY EXIST that the manufacturer refuses to release.

From the post:

>Like many other phone makers, Google has a self-repair program for servicing your damaged or malfunctioning Pixel device. As its support site explains, there are options to get repair tools, manuals, and certified parts so you can fix up your Pixel like new. Owners can also choose to simply send their device in to have it repaired professionally. As replacement parts can be expensive, some DIYers choose to use parts from third-party suppliers. But if you go down this route, you may want to avoid sending your device to Google if there's a problem you don't have the skills to fix on your own.

Same, I don't send my devices off. I don't even give them away anymore. I keep them around for a few reasons but I sure as hell am not sending it into google for repair.
