    Company I work at does HP warranty repairs on hehalf of HP and the number of fuckin shattered screens from the shitty plastic hinge screw housing being shorn off was absurd.

    It seems to be the case with a lot of the bezel-less designs, since I know I’ve seen some other brands with the same problem.

    I just hate that they seem to have decided it’s more profitable to just leave the shitty design as-is and deal with the repairs than to actually design that shit better.

    $200 definitely seems reasonable though on part cost alone, since HUs are typically the 2nd most expensive order able part besides the system board itself.



  • 333C would seem to indicate that you are correct, however as it pertains to me making a living, it’s not something I’m entirely willing to test out, even if losing my minimum salary job wouldn’t exactly be the end of the world.

    In any case, the fact that it was legal up until less than a year ago is egregious.

    Don’t get me wrong, I still do it anyway. However I can’t do so as openly as I’d like other use they can and will cause a stink about it (as they’ve done in the past when I wasn’t careful enough with who I discussed it with)

    Where a contract entered into before 7 December 2022 has pay secrecy terms that are inconsistent with these rights, and the contract is changed after 7 December 2022, these rights apply after the contract is changed.
