with that sort of attitude there wont be any need for the right to repair as there wont be any engineers around in a generation or two.I know im not the only one,who at an early age wanted to know how things worked and was taking the back of stuff to see the "magic"

Mandating longer warranties is the way to go. It will change the whole ecosystem. We need to be thinking in terms of 5, 10 and 20 years and beyond products. Sustainably needs to be taught to generation A and B at an early age. They will be affected directly by our and their management of the environment, food production, energy and waste. They need to be innovators of change rather than vapid social media personalities.

Showing a teardown of the device ... ... ...
And what are the comments on many sites discussing this?
The manufacturer is expecting it to break.
It's dangerous!
Think about the childen! Yes, really: what if a child opens the device after seeing this video...
Apparently many users do not even want repairability. :(

No. Those responses are the nanny state thinkers and armchair warriors when they have nothing better to do.
The better time to get their opinion is if the device HAS a fault and they are faced with the repair bill.
