#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
That is part of the problem: a lot of people just don't care.
Is that a problem? Should customers care?
I don't know for a fact if in isolation this is a problem or not a problem.
But from the perspective of the compound problem of getting repairability on track, this is an element within that compound that is lacking the drive of customer attention.

#29I don't want a right to repair if that means a bulky phone/laptop with terrible water sealing.
Typing from a 4 year old non-repairable phone (Samsung S8).
If you want a repairable phone, good, but don't take away my choice of slim water resistant phones.
Get off my lawn HNers keep on complaining about big screens, non removable batteries, and lack of headphone ports, but nobody cares because people actually want those things.

I don't own a smart TV, so this question is probably a bit naive - but what happens if you don't connect your smart TV to the internet?
