of course. If you can fix it when it breaks, you won't be forced to buy another one. This really shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

You know if they keep pushing they might have a hard 8/9 years. It looks like its easier to break, more expensive, harder on DRM (even though the MIG Switch has been confirmed working lol) and the battery is being hard pressed.

Its going to be hard to put the genie back in the bottle that was switch 1 + covid + animal crossing. I hope that they make more repairable models in the future.
