> And it doesn't address issues such as product designs that complicate repairs, > We see that in design choices like Apple's soldering of RAM to motherboards, I support lots of ideas behind Right to Repair, but I also think that Apple and other manufacturers sometimes make a serviceability/performance design tradeoff when opting out of socketed memory or CPU. I realize that it can create more waste but I think it shouldn't be constrained. Software lockouts like the ones described in the article are bad. I like the idea of John Deere and Apple being forced to provide service manuals or critical service/repair software. But I also don't want this to become San Bernardino shooter 2.0. The service tools shouldn't be able to subvert things like Trustzone/Secure Enclave.
