if you can get the damn part .. 20 dolla part ,, vs 700 dollar board .. with the part on it ..
my thoughts too....perhaps they can pull shit like that in NY, but not the whole Country, somebody will sell the parts you need.

Not if the maker of the part won't sell it to anyone but the OEM. Thats the case frequently now.

If we don’t have a right to repair they will t release the part to the public. I have a Subaru and the washer blades are deer only part, freaking wiper blades. The transmission is sealed and only the dealers will touch it.
My Acura if you disconnect the battery there is a code that needs to be entered or you can do nothing other than start the car. It will not move out of park if you don’t enter the code. This bill says that code no longer needs to be provided so every repair that requires you to disconnect the car battery will eventually need to be done at a dealer. Great.
Also keep in mind they say they care about the environment and wouldn’t replacing single components be better than replacing the entire assembly for the environment?

Another way to push the public to EV's ... This is by design folks.

So true!
I'll go you one better....
This is to push the public to "you will own nothing and be happy"
Many of us here are capable of fixing the stuff we own. Maybe I'm not the only one, but I get a greater sense of ownership and familiarity when I do. It then becomes a personal challenge to keep it going and I know I can do it at a fraction of the cost to replace.
That's not the case for most people though, and if they are faced with repair costs nearing replacement cost, they'll just replace.
And maybe someday they are offered a third option to lease. To make it enticing, they'll bundle it. Why fix one item near the cost to replace when you can replace all your devices for an initial fraction of the cost? And bonus!! your social credit score will get a boost! Once the market is saturated all other options fade away.
Think it won't happen? People do it all the time with credit. It's effectively the same thing if you only make minimum payments. Maybe not in our lifetime, but for our kids, their kids?
where have we seen that before...ummm.... SAFE Act?
ever get the feeling us NYers are canaries in the coal mine?

How about them taking away our ability to choose what we heat our homes with? Same deal.

Never like missing an opportunity to say FUKH and boy does she give us plenty of opportunities. 
I get it.Never like missing an opportunity to say FUKH and boy does she give us plenty of opportunities.
But we are only pissing at the puppets rather than the puppeteers.
If this is to stop, we need to figure out how to set our sights higher.
You can still get the parts as parts... This will only allow the OEM to try and gouge the market, which wont work. Secondary markets already exist, if anything, the law validates you ability to fix it yourself. But the last minute change, is irresponsible and unexplainable... I would look to see if there was a hefty donation made since or watch for one coming by maybe Apple or Samsung... lol

Soon they will tell us what to eat. It’s coming. Soon we will have no choices and no freedom. This country is going down the shitter and fast.

The politicians are out of control.
What about nobody buying anything that cannot be repaired?

From what I've read it only applies to stuff made after July 1st next year so the stuff we currently own isn't included thanks to the wicked witch of the east.
"We knew it was going to be difficult to face down the biggest and wealthiest companies in the world," PIRG right to repair director Nathan Proctor said.
It's only difficult because our politicians care more about lining their pockets than they do about their constituents. I can almost guarantee that if someone got into the bitches finances they'd find hefty donations from some of these companies that would have to comply.

Apple has been having there chip makers only sell to them .. nothing to the public .. so you have to find a donor phone or laptop and depending
on if the chip is serialized to that donor item it won't work in any other item or will actually disable other parts of the device ..
this has been a Apple practice for years ..
