Right to Repair/Ownership

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde "oem" parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Rules:

  1. Keep posts on topic.
  2. Don’t make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  3. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  4. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  5. Please be respectful to each other.

This is a repost, I'm afraid that you will have to delete your post so everyone can keep conversation in one place. Thank you.

Edit: Nope, my bad! I take it back!!! You guys linked to the same site about similar topic but those are different articles, post stays.

Edit2: Now I see that the other poster shared a NEW news but linked to a 2 year old article, now I'm confused xD

LAWL, the other post inspired me to check on the status of Fairphone availability in the USA since it'd been a while.

I recently rescued a Pixel 6 in new-ish condition that was factory reset protected (FRP), but didn't have the exploit to bypass FRP patched. I loaded it with GrapheneOS so I won't have an excuse to monetarily support Fairphone until I can no longer repair this bad boi, but maybe one of the other USA peeps might been on the last legs with their device.
