Right to Repair

• Many companies don't want customers to repair their own devices. This helps increase their upgrades and allows them to charge for repairs directly.
• This creates millions of tons of e-waste and precious resources being buried in garbage pits and creates a throw-away culture.
• How are companies limiting this:
  • Keeping all documentation closed source
  • Not creating any replacement parts
  • Making devices difficult if not impossible to repair by glueing or soldering components together.
  • Utilizing proprietary screws and other methods of discouraging repair
  • Companies are trying to introduce legislation to keep shops from performing repairs.
