This is such a nothing statement from Microsoft. I mean good on them for asking LG to remove the adware for Mcafee specifically but they don’t say anything about keeping this stuff from other auto-installed apps or making the apps ask for user permission (let alone not enabling this bullshit by default).

    It is a ryobi, at ten years and $40 when I bought it I probably can’t complain much on cost. When it breaks I’ll have to see if I can find a replacement motor or force it apart like you mentioned to see if I can get it to go again.

    Other side is sealed. Just a gear attached and no way in . The plastic tabs don’t seem to move, least anything I’ve tried does nothing. Only video I can find on a remotely similar model showed someone using a dremel to get in in lovely 240p

    The drill has lasted me almost 10 years at this point of light usage. I opened it for the first time to re-grease with some lithium grease, and noticed despite it saying brushed motor it sure looks like I'd need a Dremel to open this. Figured I'd ask if anyone has seen similar and if so, is there a trick to opening this when the the brushes wear out?
