‘Right to repair’ law may run into the changing definition of ‘ownership’ (msn.com)

Car manufacturers will be like sure you can repair whatever you want you just need this special $800 tool. Car companies are already engineering things out of vehicles.

One of the big reasons for this is Apple forced people to return their phone to Apple for battery replacement and they would void the warranty if you had your battery replaced elsewhere.

Hi! I haven't used apple products for a long time since I realized that everything there is paid and very expensive. And that new equipment comes out every year and you have to buy it every time. But at home I have everything on android and I'm glad about it. I recently bought a TV that is on android. A smart home is convenient! And especially convenient are wireless motion, fire and water level sensors from Ajax, which are most importantly quite useful and can save lives. This is what you need to spend money on!
