Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Or don't buy from manufacturers that do this
It's often too late to realize it's non repairable. When reviews first come out, no one reviews the drm on components. Even those teardown sites only cover how hard it is to open up a device but don't cover if a part is drm'd until moths or years later. Because there is no way to know until 3rd party parts come out and they don't work.
I'm buying framework which explicitly has repair as a goal
Yea, but what if you already have a laptop from such a manufacturer?
Good luck soldier!
You will eventually have to replace it when there are no replacement batteries. Get one that's focused on repairability. Then you can basically keep it forever
Yes that's a good tip, but the OP comment was focused on people who already have a laptop
