“let” me? 🤨
Some people seem to be taking it a little more confrontationally than seems necessary.
Think "let" as in "facilitate" rather than "permit". A step stool let's you reach a high shelf, but you don't need to ask it for permission.
They're providing 3d models they've done basic quality control on for some components of some devices.
It's 100% a sales tactic to increase their perceived value by creating the impression that repairs will be easier and so the thing will last longer. It just happens to be that the easiest way to do that is to actually do it.
Supports you by supplying you with 3d plans via thing verse.
I don't know why Philips gets all this attention when there are 39 other companies at printables who offer way more useful "official" parts
No they don’t. The made 1 (ONE!!) part publicly available and the media is eating it up and giving them free advertising.
It is frustrating to be honest, at this point this is a marketing stunt, nothing else.
Phillips won't get a say in the matter.
Well, they kinda do. You can't stop them from making the files available, and they never claimed it was something they had the power or desire to prevent.
"Let" can mean "grant permission", and it can also mean "assist" or "enable".
For a long time, the One Blade was the only razor that didn't pull my hair. Then they changed how they made them and started pulling. I no longer use it.
If my parents taught me anything as a child, that means that the One Blade probably has a crush on you. You should try talking to it!
King Gillette disapproves.
