What is the "self-destruction mechanism"? Are you fucking there?
Such a mechanism would make sense for the manufacturer to put, if he had a guarantee that you will buy in exchange for his damaged product. And what is the point of destroying your laptop so that the consumer goes and buys the book of a competing firm? And that will work for many years over the warranty, and the consumer will tell everyone that the bucks are fucking, and the wheels are cool?
Or by your "self-destruction mechanisms" now everywhere? And what then to explain my Dell, for example, which has already worked 2 years after the end of the warranty, and judging by the state - will work as much without problems?
The bucks fly because you buy cheap shit, which is collected from cheap shit, which is made from cheap shit, which barely lives the warranty period, because it is cheap shit, not designed for a long life.
And they make them out of shit not for you to buy a new barrel, but for it to be $100 cheaper than the same competitors, so you say - and hide me to pay an extra $100 if there is no difference?
