> Hope "Right to repair" keeps its momentum As someone who believes in running things until they simply aren't worth fixing any more, I wholeheartedly agree. I have a riding snowblower built in 1983, a riding lawnmower built in 2005, most of the computers I've owned in the last 10 years have been bought used (generally off-lease from large corps), we haven't bought a new car since 2005, etc., etc. I'm a huge believer in buying used stuff and I think the rush to upgrade to the latest phone, etc., "just cuz" is a tragedy. Learning how to open up old radios and appliances and repair them was a strong push in me wanting to become an engineer. Now, I'll admit that a large part of the reason I repair things is to save money (and the pride in getting them running again), but I really don't think the individual motivations matter. What matters is that we're able to do this if we need or want to and not hampered by arbitrary restrictions.
