Kamala Picking Governor Walz for VP Is a Win for the Right-to-Repair Movement
The Minnesota governor signed one of the country’s most consequential and expansive laws aimed at helping people fix their own stuff.
I wonder if they had to exclude farm equipment from the bill to get it passed.
The Minnesota law covers all electronics except cybersecurity tools, video game consoles, cars, medical devices, and farm equipment.
Wow, not to suggest that this bill isn't better than the alternative, but those are some awful exclusions.
A lot of the early right to repair movement came out of farm equipment, and medical devices are the most obvious need for rules like this.
Being some of the most threatened categories of things is no doubt why they were excluded.
Damn you're right ☹️
The new Minnesota law covers all electronics except farm and construction equipment, video game consoles, specialized cybersecurity tools, motor vehicles and medical devices.
Of the things on that list ....why are cyber security tools NOT repairable?! The whole fucking point is to not have security by obscurity
Hopefully this means that Louis Rossman has a friend in the White House 🤞
It seems he stays away from politics but I'd love a reaction from him for the new dem ticket.
Actually the white paper for returns and cancellations should get a video soon I hope.
Saints be praised for that...
@RidgeRoad he will literally come and repair your device ~
So is it only his right to repair?
