All bikes are repairable, some are more repairable than others. It all depends on how scared you are of getting your hands dirty and how confident you are that you can think your way out of problems.
My point is that a bike can be really simple and, as such, anything should be possible.
Modern innovations usually mean a set of tools beyond the basic bike set but the specials are available (bottom brackets are a particular case in point - you use to be able to get away with ponty things and gentle hammering - despite there being tools designed for the job now it's use our tool or forget it)
So I would avoid anything too new - get a rat bike from a scrappy and learn how it works whilst rebuilding it.

In the UK there is a split between England and Wales and Scotland. "southern" UK trespass is a civil offence. Scotland it is criminal.
So in southern UK trespassers will most definitely not be prosecuted (the railway and power plant property are, iirc, the two exceptions because they have by-laws) but may be sued for damages, in Scotland they can be prosecuted.

The products also have/had a lifetime guarantee - providing you could find a rep and they still made the product... Got a jug replaced after 40 years of hard service.
It's also why the party model failed them - MLM for a product that never broke or wore out.
Newer tupperware was microwave safe.
Reps got a cut of party sales and if they made enough each month the could get other benefits as well (a company car, for example).

Sorry to spoil the party but this comment was typed on Microsoft swift key 9.10.44.22, Huawei p20 pro, Voyager 2.17.1, emui 12.0.0
No bother with swipes (don't usually use them), backspace, predictive text - though word suggestions only appear when I stop the swipe.
Eta: Voyager is from Play Store.

You are right, it doesn't happen with any other O/S except iOS where you have to pay people/Apple to fix it (or reset the OS) or Windows where the stock response is "reinstall the O/S"
How valuable is the data on your laptop? Did you have it backed up? If so, stop worrying and just take the Windows approach. If not... Find someone local to you who is able to fix it (good luck with that...)
As for the rest - you come over as someone who expects someone else to fix your shit for free with no information other than "waaaa it's stopped working"
This may help How to as Smart Questions
Fwiw, based on your brief description of symptoms, I would say your boot device file system is broken somehow. To fix you need to mount it on another booted OS and fsck it (however if it mounts, copy valuable data off onto other media, then fsck it) . How to do that is left to your powers of Google. Not warranting my response in any way.
Best of luck.

First up - I know nothing about your specific problem. Let me add some pointers as to why you may be having difficulty...
You need to provide way more detail than a screenshot (which shows nothing really) and "why is it broken?"
What is the hardware, what is the boot device, what is the boot loader (and version), what does the boot loader config look like... There could be any number of things that stop the boot, including a corrupt boot file.
No one is able to diagnose your problem from the information you have provided.
If you are unwilling to grab a USB stick from a retailer, boot a different OS image and try some diags on your original file system you may well find people reluctant to help (for free...)

After it is dumped and converted into a binary file, binwalk should (hopefully) recognize it as a filesystem such as squashfs/ubifs/jffs2
That there, from your link, tells you what you need to know... Or at least points you in the right direction.
Your dump will not have stuff like variable names in it - compilers don't tend to keep those unless it's a debug image; variable names are for meatsacks.
Once you have converted the dump to a binary file (dunno how you would do that these days; there ought to be a tool but you could always write one... If that thought fills you with dread then you are probably in the wrong game) binwalk might tell you what file system the data is and you could mount that and have a peer at what's there.
Sadly there is no recipe book on how to go about it - you just have to make educated guesses (make use of Google/other research tools/usenet/hardware hacker fora) and keep trying stuff and making notes till it works...
Good luck!

One thing other answers have missed is that some ssds encrypt data before writing and obviously after reading (this prevents a swap the storage controller type attack) A secure erase on such a device consists of changing the read/write key. Takes milliseconds. Irrevocable (unless you find a way to read previous contents of the key storage)

Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

Temperature is not scalar
Messers Rankine, Kelvin and even Fahrenheit would beg to differ... Temperature is scalar, however it's effects on living things is generally not mostly owing to chemistry.
The claim that a 40° C jump in Sub-Zero temperatures is tolerable, but wouldn't be in the UK or whatever they're saying in this article... That's nonsense
Au contraire my dear fellow. For a human, the article is entirely correct. A rise of 40° C in a particularly cold place is indeed tolerable for a human. A similar rise in, say, the UK today would put the temperature at 52° C - hotter than Death Valley on a well above average day and considerably less tolerable.
Of course a single recorded rise in temperature isn't a good indication of climate...
Guys Voyager native app on Android. Anyone else got an issue when scrolling through a thread the rendering flicks all over the place? It's random and I can't think of a way to screenshot it. It's like the replies get drawn in one position then jump to where they should be. Sometimes, if I catch it right, sliding up and down with my finger flashes the post/comment on and off... Like I say, hard to describe properly.
Guys Dunno if I am missing something, but I notice that many times a post is cross posted to many communities, resulting in the All feed being full (well not really full but you know what I mean) of what are, effectively, reposts... Does voyager have a "hide posts with the same title in different communities" setting somewhere or is that a feature request?
Guys We have an XYZ DaVinci 1.0 Pro, connected by USB to a Windows 10 PC (latest updates etc.) The drivers are all correctly installed (both cameras show up in device manager, the printer shows up in device manager as both a printer and a USB-COM3 device). The printer has Firmware 1.2.3 installed (as recommended by XYZ.... not sure if that's a good thing) - XYZ Printing does not detect the printer as online; - Cura does not detect the printer as online; - Pronterface does not detect the printer as online; - In a massive turn-up for the books.... Microsoft 3d Builder *does* see the printer on line and will start a print. In device manager the com port seems to be set at 9600,8,n,1. Changing this to (say) 115200 breaks printing in 3d Builder. Changing Pronterface to use 9600 baud makes no difference to connecting to the printer. I have changed the USB lead, tried different ports on the PC yadda yadda yadda but no change at all - only Microsoft 3d Builder will see the printer online and print. Anyone got any idea at all why everything except Microsoft 3d Builder can't see the printer?
