Government regulating stuff that they know nothing about

How well is that going to work out?
..........................................................................................................................................................

• A wave of so-called right-to-repair or fair repair bills that would prevent companies from having repair monopolies have been introduced in states around the country. Last year, 12 states introduced bills that would require electronics manufacturers to make repair information available to consumers and third-party repair shops and would require them to sell replacement parts for electronics. It would also prevent them from using software locks to prevent repair or from remotely bricking electronics that use aftermarket parts. Already in 2018, 17 states have introduced fair repair bills.

so...if you buy a device then the manufacturer is required by law to sell you the repair manual?

Seems reasonable...why not turn over the patents, intellectual property, and trade secrets too?
