I do not really understand the negativity on the comments. Seems everyone can agree on the “right to repair” (it is politically correct) but underneath there seems to be and undermining resentment.
- scientismer 5y agoIt's socialism, yet again - government dictating to companies how they have to design and build their products. Only 0,00001% of people want to be able to repair their own stuff, but we all will have to pay for the extra hoops companies will be forced to jump through for political correctness. If you think people want repairable products, build them. If you are correct, people will buy them, rather than the products of the competition. Why do you need government rules for that? There are even companies trying to build repairable smartphones, and some people (the 0,00001%) are buying them.
- operator-name 5y agoIt looks like there is a lot of conflation between the right to repair and repairability of products. They're related but distinct issues. A lot of dissent seems to be around forced repairability.
