Comment on iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original

  The more difficult it is to repair something, the less possible it becomes to repair it.

  Damn-near anything is possible to repair with the right training and equipment but there is a very wide spectrum between what an average person can do with tools they can easily pick up at any hardware store for cheap and a little common sense and some YouTube videos to guide them, and repairs that require specialist knowledge and equipment.

  When something is made more difficult to repair, it slips further into that specialist end of the spectrum, so it’s possible for less people.

    For most people: the more difficult, the more expensive to get fixed

    That’s not true.

    what an average person can do with tools they can easily pick up at any hardware

    The tools someone has has nothing to do with difficulty.

      Is it easier or harder to tighten a bolt without a wrench?

        It’s neither, it’s impossible

      Gonna need some elaboration on that last point. You’re saying tools and difficulty have no relationship? Are you against right to repair? It seems implicit in your comments.

        You’re saying having appropriate tools for the job and the difficulty of the job have no relationship?

        Typically not having the right tools makes it impossible, not hard.

        Are you against right to repair? It seems implicit in your comments.

        How the hell do you reach that conclusion? Where’s the logic there?
