> These things are safety critical and ten days in a workshop is probably a reasonable heuristic for this thing has to be taken out of service and recommissioned from scratch.
This makes little sense. It's pretty reasonable that any machine that is sent for repair may take longer than expected in the workshop. Parts availability for one. Also, manpower shortages, scheduling (we don't need it back until next month) and so on all make this "heuristic" more likely be a scam. This idea that the manufacturer is entitled to a lifetime stream of repair revenue has to stop.
I shudder to think what would happen in the US if an auto manufacturer tried this heuristic on the average owner of a pickup truck.
The top comments on that nypost article are insane, blaming the victim for probably doing "unauthorized repairs", and saying that the "southern border" is at fault.
I feel like blaming guns might upset some people, but I don't feel like this type of thing happens as much in the rest of the western world, where gun laws are typically a lot stricter.
I assume most of it is access to guns. But I do wonder how much is due to people are not using giant ego-soothing trucks in the parts of the world where petrol doesn't get subsidies. So there are fewer truck owners to do the murders.
Ah ok, I see now. Yes, between deranged and entitled customers and the ready availability of point-and-click interfaces of the fatal variety you can have some pretty bad outcomes.
