    You could definitely get it repaired/replaced by the manufacturer

    But, would you? You can probably return it to where you bought it, but that’s at least 10 mins of your life.

    You could also throw it in the trash… That takes 0 minutes. That’s what they hope you’ll do, and so every other option is made possible, but frustrating

        How? I recycle e-waste personally, because I find disassembling it relaxing.

        What is a normal person meant to do? I’ve been asked and I don’t know what to tell them

          I’m sure most local/county recycling centers take electronics along with other recyclables (mine does). If not, retailers like Best Buy will take them at the customer service desk. Also, we have an electronic scrap bin at my place of employment, which is what I normally use. So many options!
