Gigabyte denied my warranty in the past for a missing sticker, so it’s nice to see the FTC stepping up here.

Tons of companies do this and by default will deny that they have to comply with the law, sadly.

I'm just glad I can rent a 79-pound (weight, not cost) iPhone self-service repair kit from Apple for only $49 (with $1200 refundable security hold.)
