| I get why. But that still seems wasteful |

| If the old one could still be used, they shouldn’t send a new one anyway. |

| ▲ | breakingcups 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Well, if it can still be repaired but the producer doesn't want to bother and just sends a new fan, that's fine. That doesn't mean a repairable product should be destroyed and sent to a landfill just because it makes Noctua's logistics easier. | | |
| ▲ | layer8 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | The point is, if the owner thinks it can be repaired, they shouldn’t call for a replacement in the first place. And indeed they wouldn’t get one, because they wouldn’t break the blade. So it’s completely under control of the owner. | | |
| ▲ | Levitating an hour ago | parent [-] | | Sure but the owner could've technically been left with a spare part in this case Though it's not that likely that users will try to replace the blades on a fan. |
