The Right to Repair:
Given that this is one manufacturer they talk about in video. There is the car companies and then there are the electronic companies.
So the individual buys something, he should have the right to repair what he buys, and not have to have it repaired by the same company that sold him/her the product.
The car companies have some type of code for all cars that can be read by a digital computer (you have to download the car, make and model and engine size).
Now for example I used to have a samsung 4, it had a replaceable battery in it. It worked fine, but the replacement batteries weren't the same quality as the original battery, even though the replacement battery had the same stickers on it.... (it was actually a cheaper knock-off made in china with about 70-80 of the original lithum battery).
I got a new phone because the battery just wouldn't hold up. Forcing me to get a new phone. I got a new iphone, and that comes completely sealed, so in a few years (or at the end of my 2 year telephone plan- it will start to fail on the battery). So I will be forced to use the apple repair system to get a new battery, or hack it.
The manufacturing industry tries to keep money coming back to them in repairs. Whether that is mechanical or electrical products. So most people are gonna pay high repair prices or buy new if they need that product.
So this increases the amount of scrap in the garbage dump, contributing to environmental pollution because of throw away devices.
Should governments force companies to have alternate way for consumers to have options to repair on their products?
