Reply to comment by in_u_endo______ in New York’s governor signs watered-down right-to-repair bill - Last-minute concessions weakened the rules, which will only apply to new consumer products sold after July 1st. by speckz

so... if those 2 major things are gone... whats different than now?

lol all they are gonna do is say yea we dont sell just that one control board for your washer - you have to buy the whole front panel and all the boards as an assembly. btw thats a $800 part on your $700 washer.

This bill went from protecting the consumer to protecting the corporations. This bill essentially gives corporations the rights to do what they've been doing already. Now, it's just part of New York law. Seven years of hard work only for the government to give full protection to corporations instead while pretending it's for the consumers.
