Absolutely. The supply chain is rotten. They should not be allowed to lock out third party repairs.

I am so sick of this shit. Companies used to provide schematics with their products so you could fix it yourself if you had to. Now if you show someone how to do it online they might SUE you. I am sure you remember this too.

From the post:
>A little over a year ago, Maine residents voted overwhelmingly (83 percent) to pass a new state right to repair law designed to make auto repairs easier and more affordable. More specifically, the law requires that automakers standardize on-board diagnostic systems and provide remote access to those systems and mechanical data to consumers and third-party independent repair shops. But as we’ve seen with other states that have passed right to reform laws (most notably New York), passing the law isn’t the end of the story. Corporate lobbyists have had great success not just watering these laws down before passage, but after voters approve them. They’ve also been swarmed by coordinated industry lawsuits and falsehood-spewing attacks.
