How long until the Louis Rossmann video that tells us it's all rubbish?

[–] [email protected] 85 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

He has a video on when it passed in the assembly.

The only thing he would likely have a problem with it is there is no provision allowing independent 3rd party repairers to use aftermarket parts. This is likely the reason why Apple supported the bill. Apple can continue to charge an arm and a leg for any parts and not supply parts to independent 3rd parties

If Apple supports any "right to repair" bill, it's probably not entirely what you want.

Which is the premise of the Rossmann video.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I hope not, since he worked really hard to get it passed.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apparently it's already pretty lacking in that it doesn't give provisions for 3rd party manufactured parts. However I'm not sure if he'll actually do a video for this one, he did one for New York (where he lives) and covered this point already.

He moved to Austin, TX a while ago. He’s no longer in New York.
