Sad that the "live free or die" state can't pass simple regulation that gives consumers the freedom/right to repair.

- JoeAltmaier 7y agoThat's a contortion. You can try to repair your phone already. Its legislation to require manufacturers to make a more expensive, repairable device and provide instructional materials. Who's 'freedom' is that supporting?
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoFrom the article. >The bill would have forced manufacturers such as Apple to share repair manuals and parts with independent repair stores. House members didn’t kill the bill, but sent it back to committee for a year of interim study, citing security concerns Doesn't seem like they were forcing the manufacturers to make easier to repair devices to me but I also haven't read the text of the bill.
