And this is why the government mandating repairability is dangerous - it infringes on the consumer's freedom to buy locked down products.

- sjwright 8y agoI hope you're not being sarcastic, because I wholeheartedly agree. Consumers should be allowed to have choice, and that includes choices that some people think are wrong. I do think that there's some middle ground between where we are now and where the Right To Repair people are advocating for. Right To Repair should absolutely apply to mechanical devices. And maybe it should even apply to most electronics. But it should not force manufacturers to distribute tools that can "repair" security related features of its devices.
