Countless companies and industries enjoy making up scary stories when it comes to justifying their opposition to making it easier to repair your own tech. Apple claims that empowering consumers and bolstering independent repair shops will turn states into “hacker meccas.” The car industry insists that making it easier and cheaper to repair modern cars will be a boon to sexual predators.

    Wait a minute, why did the fuse blow in the first place? This might be a safety issue and should be handled by the warranty.

      There might be a reason. But if the reason really is a safety issue, then it would also blow the second fuse.

      That is what fuses are made for.
