      Damn you’re right ☹️

      The new Minnesota law covers all electronics except farm and construction equipment, video game consoles, specialized cybersecurity tools, motor vehicles and medical devices.

        Of the things on that list …why are cyber security tools NOT repairable?! The whole fucking point is to not have security by obscurity

      The Minnesota law covers all electronics except cybersecurity tools, video game consoles, cars, medical devices, and farm equipment.

      Wow, not to suggest that this bill isn’t better than the alternative, but those are some awful exclusions.

      A lot of the early right to repair movement came out of farm equipment, and medical devices are the most obvious need for rules like this.

        Being some of the most threatened categories of things is no doubt why they were excluded.

      I’m less surprised by that than the exclusion of video game consoles.
      Didn’t know the Nintendo lobby was a formidable adversary up there.

      It seems he stays away from politics but I’d love a reaction from him for the new dem ticket.

      Actually the white paper for returns and cancellations should get a video soon I hope.
