There's a third, where the first person puts on thingiverse and we do it for fun without owning the actual unit

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Isn't that just selling?

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

China mastered copying things well. A five pack of replacement knobs that actually match is $34 on Amazon. A crappy homemade knob for a $4000+ range is crazy.

[–] UNY0N@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

China has also mastered modern slave labor. That someone makes thier own replacement instead of ordering some small uncomplicated part from across the globe isn't crazy, it's self-reliant and smart.

But that's, like, just my opinion man.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

And Bosch makes and generally stands by their good products. Yeah they're a company, but they're not the worst!

Also, where did original knob go, I need to know.

So one is creative and solution seeking and now proud about himself and an inspiration to others and the other one -- not, but just a thief.

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

If the knob on your stove breaks while it's still new enough to be sold on the floor of a Home Depot? Yeah, the theft wasn't by the guy who took the knob.

[–] neonred@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

If the knob of your new-bought stovebreaks to talk to the seller or the manufacturer and request a new knob if it was a manufacturing problem. You don't go around and steal knobs from innocents.

Home Depot is not innocent.

-Anti-union

-Massive donation and lobbying efforts to Republicans and Democrats (but they definitely go harder with Republicans, if you look at the numbers, and they've donated specifically to white supremacist candidates)

-Underpaid employees

-Violated the National Labor Relations Act NLRA

Fuck 'em

Just a thief?? That’s creative, solution seeking, and ecologically conscious problem solving right there

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz -2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ecologically conscious would have been getting it from some shop that fixes and recycles appliances.

[–] bestagon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Those stopped existing when it became cheaper to just throw the whole thing out and buy a new one

Shoplifting is a noble crime.

That's a humongous oven, must be a 10+ person household.

[–] Blackmist 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I ended up with 8 hobs, 2 ovens, a grill, and a drawer on mine. It was there when I moved in, and I kept it. Damn thing is built like a tank.

I've never had to use more than 2 of the hobs at once.

I use one of the ovens for storing rarely used pans and things.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

That sounds like the 48" Miele. If so, hang on to it. That son of a bitch currently retails for $17,599.

No, that is not a typo.

[–] Blackmist 2 points 57 minutes ago

Not as fancy as that unfortunately.

It's 100cm across and the branding has long since worn away. I think it used to say Panache on it at one point, but I can't find anything about that brand online. Following a trail of spares that look like the stuff on it, it was possibly made by Newhome.

I'd take a picture but I've not cleaned it in ages so it looks like something out of a crack den.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

And yet it runs with gas, as if we're still cavemen cooking meat over open fires.

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Its the cheapest ¯\_(ツ) _/¯

[–] mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

90cm.

We have one for our 4 adult, 2 kid household. Its amazing how often it's not big enough for all sorts of things.

I think 2 X 60cm ovens make more sense in hindsight and they also dont take as long to heat up

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Or its the house people designated as the holiday house, maybe! Only actually used fully a few times a year.

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

That's my house. We have dual ovens and use them simultaneously several times a year, mostly holidays.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 37 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

My oven is so old I came across an identical one in an e-waste pile behind a store. I stole the timer knob and mechanism so I don't need to keep using the broken one (manual only) anymore.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 20 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You didn't steal it, you 💫recycled💫.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 16 points 5 hours ago

*Reused, which is preferred to recycling even if the materials are 100% recyclable.

That's what I told to the store employee I encountered coming to work via the back door. He wasn't too happy but ultimately let me do it.

YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A BOSCH OVEN KNOB
