What the hell is their reasoning for only having a rule that applies to devices that cost $50-$99.99, aside from likely ruling out every cell phone? > the manufacturer shall also make available [...] for at least three years after the date a product model or type was manufactured How much you want to bet that was put in to allow manufacturers to supply software tools that the manufacturer can either remote-disable, or have time-bombs built in, or both? Watch a cell manufacturer shrug and come out with the "YZ 5 Pro", manufacture it for a year, and then come out with the YZ 5 Pro A" the next year, etc. Seems like this got poison-pilled just like a lot of gun legislation which is written to focus on things easily changed so they're not effective. "Guns over 14 inches with a vented barrel grip installed during manufacture" write the lobbyists, and then they send a memo to gun manufacturers to plan on adjusting their tooling to make 13.95 inch barrels, or leave off the barrel grip, easily installed by dealers or buyers.)
