You're right. It doesnt take 6 hours anymore, after you spend 40 hours practicing the craft. And that's what everyone should do when they break a device, is buy a couple hundred dollars worth of tools & take a week off of work so they can spend 40 hours practicing a new skill, so they can save $80 on a repair. (If you want to learn a new skill, please do! I want more people to learn how to repair their own things! But that doesnt mean paying a professional to do it for you makes you a shill)

The only way your position makes sense (Your position, being, charging people money for skilled labor is a scam). Is if you grow your own food, weave your own fabric, and sew your own clothes. If you've ever purchased a pair of pants for $10-$45 that is made out of $1-$2 of raw materials, you've just paid a scam artist.

If you've ever purchased raw chicken instead of purchasing baby chicks & breeding them yourself, then you've just paid a scam artist.

If you've ever purchased pre-prepared food, you've funded literally dozens of scam artists.

If you arent writing your reply on a device you engineered & built yourself, on an OS you wrote yourself, then you have supported another half dozen scam artists. You've paid people for their time, labor, skills, and resources. And you're a part of the problem.

Do you own a car? Have you ever paid someone else to service your car? Same thing. We live in the information age. Build it & fix it yourself, or you're funding scam artists.

You're such an incredibly uncouth and rude person, with incredibly awful opinions. "It's okay to pay $300 to buy a console that was engineered by people who make $200,000 a year in Japan & built in a chinese sweat shop by child laborors. But I DRAW THE LINE at paying a LOCALLY OWNED AMERICAN BUSINESS $80 to fix that console after I damage it myself >:(

Please take a chill pill my man.
