How they make it hard to fix this heater - videos.trom.tf/w/krjeSgmcz3HD6…

These motherfuckers put some weird screws on this electrical heater so you cannot open it unless you have a very specific screw driver. Absolutely criminal behavior. But I understand it. You have to trade in this world in order to survive and thrive, and so these tactics can create advantages for you: the heater breaks, people buy a new one. Done. More profit.

If we can't change the incentive we cannot change these behaviors.
