  They charge an insane amount for you to rent a repair kit for a short time to also order parts and do it yourself with no training. It’ll be ‘available’ you can self repair, but not likely.

    Plus, you will still need their software to enable a replacement chip due to serialization. From my understanding, this entire aspect isn’t addressed in the current wording of the bill.
