dixiegrrrrl's Journalthey are trying to make repairing our items illegal. Here is how to fight back:
Manufacturers have attempted to use the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to claim that they own the software that makes an electronic an electronic, and tampering with that software is a copyright violation. There's the fact that Apple quietly stopped accepting applications for "Authorized Service Provider" designations in 2010. There are the seizures of "counterfeit" parts being imported from China that may be legally legitimate. There are the lease programs carriers and Apple have started that ensure you won't ever actually "own" a phone ever again.

I just had my first ever breast biopsy......ask me anything.
Like a lot of people, the idea of getting a needle any way near that soft tissue gave me cold chills..... they use a needle to numb the area, which is the thing I was dreading.
Usually the nurses/techs say something comforting like " It is like a mild bee sting"
Well, my memory of bee stings did not contain the concept of "mild"
Had to laugh, tho, when the tech gave it a Southern twist...."It is like a mild fire ant bite".
So...ask away....
