By yourself... or a mechanic. You know, a trained and qualified professional that has access to the tools and materials necessary to fix a problem.

Kind of like how a programmer is a trained and qualified professional that has the tools and materials necessary to fix a problem, except that they're directly employed by the maker of the product rather than a reseller of the product.

Not that any of that fucking matters, because the point is that BUGS ARE IN EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, AT ALL TIMES and it's just ignorant-ass to pretend like somehow cars aren't the same way and, more importantly, haven't ALWAYS been this way.

Bro you really think someone is a professional mechanic because they can fix their own car wiring or change their oil? Should I open a car repair shop because I replaced the stereo in my car by myself?

This is you rn.

You're what's meant by the term "functionally illiterate." You know the words, you can read them, but you're too much of an emu-pounder to understand them.

Let me teach you something.
