"You have the right to repair... what?" - the key expectation is that the parts that wear out within 10 years or are commonly breakable (e.g. screens) should be replaceable. By this criteria, batteries and keyboards apply, but random solid state parts on boards and L1 cache does not.
- at-fates-hands 6y agoI agree 100%, but have these sorts of guidelines been included in the right to repair bills that have been making the rounds here in the US? They should be pretty common sense parts, but I'm not sure how they're actually determining these things in the bills which are being proposed. Do you have any more insight into what's being proposed? I know there are some 15 states who've introduced legislation, but back in 2018, it was just hearings taking place. I haven't heard or seen any updates since then.
