  2. #Gemini #AI saved me about $280 this month. I have a base M4 Mac Mini, so most of my work (hobby) product lives on an external Kingston XS1000 2TB SSD bought in 2024. Recently, it failed, and while working with Gemini to debug the issue and see if it’s fixable, Gemini volunteered that #Kingston had a five-year #warranty. That led me to an RMA and after about four weeks of slow shipping there and back, I’m up and running with a replacement. On my own, I would have missed the warranty.

  3. @dilmandila YMMV, but I had (& still have) a heavy-duty Northface hooded parka I bought in the mid 1980s. Just a few years ago I went to a Northface outlet store looking for a replacement, and learned that it—my beat up parka, with some ripped seams , torn hood, and some snaps that no longer worked—was covered by a *lifetime* (!!!) warranty. As are (AFAIK) *all* Northface products! They (the store) shipped it off, and a few months later it came back fully repaired—for FREE! #Northface #Warranty

  5. When you buy an extremely #expensive thing and a #warranty comes with it, what kind of warranty do you want? Do you want a warranty that explicitly says what you are entitled to? Or would you rather have a statement about what the manufacturer cannot take away from you? #UDHR vs #TheConstitution 🔦🔦🔦

  7. The Garmin Forerunner 570 Warranty Sentient Failure

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Around two months ago I decided to see if a Garmin mid range device would cure my desire to upgrade and try new devices so I went for the Garmin Forerunner 570. In many ways it didn’t deliver drastically more than the Garmin Instinct 2. I noticed that it was just as bad at sleep tracking. The key issue though, is that after a swim, and a ride one day I noticed that a plastic o-ring seemed to have made it’s way between the glass and the watch body.

    I sent it via who I purchased it from under warranty and they said it would be sent to Garmin for repair. Within a week or two I got the “repaired unit” in a different box, with charger and more. I noticed one key problem. The watch strap felt too soft and malleable, as if it has been worn for seasons or even years, exposed to sweat, sea water and UV light. In essence, the strap felt worn.

    If I had sent in a device that was one or two years old I’d expect that. If I had sent in my Garmin Instinct purchased years ago, and the strap felt like that, then I’d think “oh well”, but this warranty case is with a two month old device, and that worn strap feeling is a red flag.

    My key concern, and I have no way of knowing if it is valid, or not, is that Garmin doesn’t give battery health. It only gives current state of charge.

    To see whether my perception was correct, or not, I checked the strap from the Garmin Instinct 2 and that strap still feels solid, and resistant. This confirms my instinctive reaction.

    It amuses me because when I saw the brand new box, with a new charger I thought, “They sent a new unit” but when I opened the box and felt the strap it felt too soft and pliable and I felt “I’ve been conned”. They got a two month old watch and I got a watch that feels old, due to the straps, but also due to the difference in serial numbers. The SN numbers are:

    8N710xxxx and 8N708xxxx.

    8N708xxxx had the issue.

    It’s worth noting, after rational thought that although the strap for the new watch feels old and malleable the watch unit is younger by a considerable margin. My gut feeling was wrong. This also illustrates why the process of blogging is important. It is about differentiating between an emotional response and a rational one.

    If and when I contact Garmin support I will get them to explain their warranty service more clearly. According to the serial number I now have a much newer unit. This means that the battery should be fresher, and healthier. It is possible that the first unit I had sat in a warehouse for a year or two before being sold. That could be why it had the physical issue.

    I now have two USB-C Garmin chargers. Recently I had considered buying some. Now the need is gone.

  8. New law forces manufacturers to fix broken appliances even after #warranty expires | NL Times

    "Consumers can now demand repairs on electronic devices long after the legal warranty expires under a #EuropeanUnion directive that took effect Sunday, according to NU.nl. Manufacturers must keep spare parts available for extended periods, supply repair information, and refrain from making fixes unnecessarily difficult or costly as part of broader efforts to prioritize repair over replacement and slow the rise of electronic waste."

  11. So, just finished this month's Repair Cafe in #Regina.

    There's a depressing pattern where small #appliances, typically #kitchen stuff, fail after just a year or so. The warranties are invariably one year. Nobody, especially the manufacturer, offers service - "Just buy a new one, it's cheaper" is the refrain. Of course, we're trying to "reduce, re-use, recycle" and keep this stuff out of the #landfill.

    Even trying to service them is a pain, and sometimes impossible. The cases/shells of modern stuff are frequently absolute b*stards to take apart, and really new stuff now features "one-way clips" - there's literally no way to unclip the shell after it's been clicked together at the factory. You can't access the latching bit, so you have to force it and break the #clip, and then #bodge it back together somehow.

    Mandating a longer #warranty, like in the EU - two years, three? - would help, because stuff would have to be designed better.

    The two most frustrating from today:

    1) A Keurig coffee maker, used twice, a year old. Got it apart, it had leaked water onto the back of the (massively #overcomplicated) CPU board, and shorted it out. Poof, magic smoke gone, tears in the rain, time to die, etc. Who puts the CPU directly under a join in the #water pipe?

    2) A gas-powered leaf blower. Fuel line rotted, but to be able to feed new one through from the carburetor to the fuel tank, you have to take the shell apart - which requires disassembling the engine!

  13. Whether you pay $100 for MS Windows or $0 for Linux, AFAIK, both disclaim liability for security bugs (eg, if your bank account gets hacked while using them). The bank's own security/guarantees, the police's ability to catch the thief, and maybe the govt (FDIC, etc) are what protect people's money.

  14. Never buy #ADATA / #XPG products. They suffer from #componentlottery issues, meaning they will switch components mid production if something cheaper or more convenient comes up. When your #NVMe #SSD eventually breaks down, the replacement under #warranty process is a fucking nightmare.

    To compare, my NAS is using #Toshiba HDDs, and when one of them died, I quickly filed a replacement request with Toshiba, giving them the serial number of the disk and some SMART diagnostics. A shipping label was issued, and the thing was sent. Replacement arrived some weeks later.

    ADATA on the other hand requires a tedious registration process, actual proof of purchase and payment for shipping to #Taiwan. This process ends abruptly, since I can't seem to find any proof of purchase anywhere. In short, the remaining 3 years warranty is fucking useless, because I forgot where I bought it.

    Fuck you, ADATA.

    Never buying your shit again.

    PS: Backup, people. It's a thing.

  15. Before you buy, ask what a lifetime warranty actually covers—repairs, routine maintenance, stone loss? Knowing limits saves surprises later. A clear warranty is peace of mind. 🛡️ #jewelrycare #warranty

  18. incredible...

    fortunately, it's part of a #RAID, the important stuff is also backed up off-site, and I've even tested those backups somewhat recently.

  19. Having invested in some really good pliers for electronic work, I was shocked the tip snapped off while cutting the leg of a defect triac. I sent an email to the Lindström company and got a free replacement for the 8145 model. They also asked for the return of the broken one for quality inspection. Great #customer #service #warranty!

  21. Hmm, is 120 years a "reasonable time" to request a warranty repair? #sewingmachine #warranty

  22. @drdrang @siracusa Call it , but a friend shared his with a 1 y/o Air. The failed mid-video edit, so he went to the in . At the , the tech said (paraphrased): “If you came yesterday, your would cover it. Today it’s $700. Better to buy a new one.”

    Hard to square with all those stories of happy who were when the company went the extra mile to keep them
