Senators throw weight behind military right to repair
- SOLAR_FIELDS 1y agoIt makes total sense to do this. Which is why it will almost certainly die in committee
- general1726 1y agoIt will probably take a catastrophic military loss to make right to repair on the same level in logistical chain as ammunition and fuel. Essentially Mark 14 Torpedoes all over again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ5Ru7Zu_1I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ5Ru7Zu_1I
- methuselah_in 1y agoThis should be done by every country
- thrance 1y agoNo way this ever succeeds under Trump's "one more trillion for the military industrial complex" mandate.

- explainingbcuz 1y agoWhen you modify the product, you void the warranty. When you void the warranty, the original manufacturer is no longer liable
- RandomBacon 1y ago> When you modify the product, you void the warranty. Negative. That is a violation of the Magnus Moss Warranty Act. If your modification caused the damage, than that specific thing can be denied, but the whole warranty is not voided.
- explainingbcuz 1y agoShould the OEM have to pay to fix a product that the product owner modified? For example, if A flashes aftermarket firmware to tractor X by OEM Z, and then tractor X (in conjunction with a human operator) causes loss; it is not reasonable to assess liability to OEM Z who could not have inspected or certified the modified product.
- general1726 1y agoOn the other hand, if OEM Z can't send technician to fix issue with tractor X which is crucial to a farmer, otherwise he will loss current harvest. Should OEM Z be liable for damages on crops? Because we are going to get into situation when military will suffer a defeat not because of a wrong military decisions, but because military hardware being incapacitated by OEM who refused to send maintenance technician to a war zone.
