Reply to comment by spicytoastaficionado in New York State official climate plan calls for Right to Repair by fanopticon

What does the bill really do though?

>Right to Repair” and other legislation that requires manufacturers of products sold in New York to provide information to consumers and third-party technicians about how to repair damaged products. (p. 326)

Companies will still be Free to make stuff difficult to repair without requiring specialized tools.

Companies are just going to continue to do things making phone batteries a pain in the ass to remove. Or car companies requiring you to compress the brake Pistons via a computer to change your brakes.

These anti consumer policies need to be outlawed

Seriously just require batteries to be easily accessible and removable, boom done. Just like phones were 20 years ago. Same with laptops.
