[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1883331, member: 190607"] The "right to repair" means that you should be able to open, repair, modify, customize, and change the items you own. In modern times many companies, especially tech companies, have been designing their products and gearing their service and support, to make it very difficult or impossible to repair the products that you purchase. They have also been fighting very hard against consumer advocates trying to advance the right to repair. You may have noticed, especially, that your Apple products have become more and more impossible to repair yourself, or by a third party. The fight now seems to be nearing it's conclusion, and consumers have won!
