    I’m positive that Microsoft is trying to EEE home repairs, I’m just not sure how.

    Damn the parts are super expensive too. Almost not even worth it. If you’re gonna do repair parts Microsoft at least do it right…

    My Xbox one just started throwing weird errors and logging me out of Netflix. I’m about to give up on the thing.

    Will they also move towards cheaper quality products now that they are more self repairable?

          Yeah the rubber fell off of one side immediately. And opening it up to try and fix it was a hassle. From the article activist shareholders forced them to work towards right to repair, but if they don’t switch to Hall effect sensors it’s really just forced to repair. Potentiometer controllers have a forced shelf life, and controller manufacturers are fine with that. Now they’re just making money selling the parts too.
