Скачать или смотреть We Need to Support the Right to Repair - Will You Help?

Over the past decade, our devices have become more and more unrepairable. Components are soldered in, making repairs or aftermarket upgrades impossible. Component replacements are often prevented by software or "non-genuine" messages. I think that needs to change. That's why the right to repair is so important. The right to repair movement seeks to get manufacturers to create devices with repair in mind and also to ensure that parts and schematics are available so that individuals and independent repair shops can make repairs as needed.

This movement wants to make repair possible and accessible to everyone who wants to be able to repair his own device. Now maybe you're someone who doesn't want to repair or upgrade his own device. The right to repair is still important for you because this would give you the ability to go anywhere you choose for a repair rather than, often times, having to depend on the original manufacturer.

The Right to Repair movement wants to ensure that parts are made available for repairs as well. Currently, you can go to eBay, Amazon, and other online retailers and find some parts, but you might not be able to find exactly what you need. This movement wants to encourage manufacturers to have parts available for purchase.

I think the right to repair movement is one or the most important movements in the technology space right now. This is something for which ‪@rossmanngroup‬ has been fighting so diligently, and I think we all need to get behind this movement and ask our legislators and governments to support it.
