How it currently works is if your stuff breaks, you don’t pay someone to fix it, you just sell it as is on Facebook marketplace and people who love fixing stuff as a side hustle buy it off you, fix, and then resell as a working item.

That way someone can specialise in just fixing Xboxes for example and make a nice profit.

Getting robots to do this would be incredibly difficult because it’s too custom and too fiddly. They don’t even use robots for most of the work originally manufacturing these lenses.
