      Five years, actually, here in Norway. Technically two years, and five if the product is meant to last appreciably longer than two years. But that is true for most things except wearable electronics like earbuds.

              First world = NATO

              Second world = Warsaw Pact

              Third world = non-aligned

              Developed world = rich countries

              Developing world = poor countries

              Global south = also poor countries, but with more emphasis on Africa and South America

      In Australia our consumer protection laws have minimum warranty for most items (eg 3yrs or something for basic electronic products) but it scales with cost and quality.
      It does not apply to everything as far as i know, but say you buy a $8,000 TV, you would likely get 5-6 years warranty because a TV of that cost should imply, to a reasonable consumer, it is of a quality that would be expected to last 5-6 years.

      War-ranty? What is this? A guarantee of war? Sounds like apple pie to me. 🇺🇸
