Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde "oem" parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Rules:

Keep posts on topic.
Don’t make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
No posts linking to reddit posts.
Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
Please be respectful to each other.

The link is itself a post linking to an article. I figure I should mention that since many new Lemmy users probably don't want to go to reddit for anything.

Fixed, huge thanks for info.

No prob. Sorry I wasn't sure if it was intended or not. I haven't ventured too far yet.

I even have a rule on the side bar that says no linking to reddit posts lol.

I will be changing rule 4 to absolute dates later.
