I don't really get where the idea about this applying only to phones, tablets and laptops comes from as the actual proposal says products and not those specific categories. It also specifically mentions "independent repairers" as well as consumers themselves should have access to all the tools/information/parts.

- hyperman1 6y agoWow, look at point 7 for digital goods. As I understand it * Security patches help determine the lifetime of the goods * Feature changes must be reversible and can't diminish performance/responsiveness So you can buy a smartphone, and if it says 3 years expected lifetime, the company must patch it for 3 years. If the company adds an antifeature, you reverse it.

- tomaszs 6y agoThe document is vague and open for interpretation. It does not necessary explain how to final directive will look like. What happens way too often.
