I imagine most of you, like me, don’t. Just another datapoint.
But, I recently got a new jig for my table saw, and I saw this paper one. Is there any reason to register other than the warranty? Should I fill these out for my larger, more expensive tools?
So my printer can rat me out? Fuck no
Never. Data privacy aside, I can’t be bothered to fill out yet another form or create yet another account just for one item I purchased. I also can’t remember the last time I had something break on me before the warranty expired.
Most places have laws that you don’t have to fill that out for warantee, as long as you have receipt when you bought it. It does make sense for product defects and them alerting you to fixes or software updates etc
I don’t fill those in because you just know they are going to use data for marketing.
I do not, because if my product brakes, I would spent more money traying to make the warranty valid, that and loss time. It’s such a useless procedure where you do a little work for the company for free (give them info directly), when people actually can earn money answering actual polls.
