Reply to comment by 0x1a3c3e7 in New York breaks the right to repair bill as it’s signed into law | The bill was signed by NY governor Kathy Hochul on December 28th, making New York the first US state to broadly protect a consumer’s right to repair their own tech. by chrisdh79

In a normally functioning free market, this would draw competition and eliminate bad practices. That this is not happening means the market is protected by anti-competitive regulations. Regulations that were written and passed by the same schmucks who tried to fool us with this bill.
