  • That first party warranty repair services sometimes don’t allow having a second party do the repair.

    I have always just been able to bring the item into the nearest repair facility, and just have them do the repair under warranty, it wasn’t until today that I learned there is some brands that straight out won’t let you do anything but the ship in and fix style warranties. I would figure it would be cheaper to allow second party repair reimbursement but nope.

    The US medical system is a fucking joke, they have the GoFundMe at 78,000 as the goal, which don’t get me wrong is no small chunk of change, but the fact that if they didn’t have insurance it would cost around 45,000 the first year alone in just diagnosis and treatment costs, average 7,000 per year after that and then average 114,000 the last year of treatment is extortionary.

    Granted I would expect someone like that would have insurance for the family, which means realistically they’re probably only going to have like a $10,000 yearly deductible but still

    the amount of software I’ve used that lacks this type of system is aggravating. How hard is it to keep an object of property names, and if the name isn’t in it then it errors.

    this can be continued into command line as well. if flag -z doesn’t exist, you shouldn’t allow me to run a command with it. It’s clear I am trying to do something (incorrectly) thinking -z is something it isn’t, just error it and tell me that.
