If they want me to bend the knee, they are welcome to come here and demand it

I think the constitutionality of such a law would be immediately challenged in court

Just wait, someday there will be 3d printers that can assemble individual elements and then we can print off any old machine we like

The next day, the Chrome division is sold off to a new company "Bloogle" and we're back to square dumb.

And before you think about applying for a job there, know that the new company is still demanding mandatory 5 days in the office

Oh, I've seen or rather heard the gasps of surprise you speak of, my friend. I remember about ten years ago getting a request to source a specific part out to Nunavut, in the Canadian Arctic. It was would have been pricier than just getting a whole new unit, for their purposes. We did provide them with the engineering drawings so that they could get a local shop to machine the parts, but I don't know if they ever went that route.

I wish I could be more specific, truly, but I would be putting myself at serious risk of doxxing myself, and I've made fun of a lot of bad people across Lemmy (and Reddit, once upon a time) that I would be putting myself and others at risk of retribution.

Oh, most products and components go through multiple revisions to account for either flaws in the original design or to comply with local laws (for example, health and safety requirements that did not exist at time of original design). I believe it's imperative for every business to keep on top of these things.....but perhaps I'm a bit naive.

I work for a manufacturer with part catalogues going back to 1921, and while the telegraph codes no longer work, you could absolutely still order up a given part, or request from us the engineering diagram for it to aid in fabricating a replacement. You can also request service manuals, wiring diagrams, etc. Don't all half-decent manufacturers do this?
