   @caspercdn @davemark It's one of the main reasons why iFixit ended their relationship with Samsung at the same time. https://www.theverge.com/samsung/2024/5/23/24162135/ifixit-end-samsung-repair-parts-deal

     😮
     "Samsung requires independent repair shops to give Samsung the name, contact information, phone identifier, and customer complaint details of everyone who gets their phone repaired at these shops"

     And:

     "it also requires these nominally independent shops to “immediately disassemble” any phones that customers have brought them that have been previously repaired with aftermarket or third-party parts"

     Crazy.
