He's talking about the right to repair you're own stuff or have someone look at it. Not the right to a competent repairman. Those are two different things. I am not sure if you're arguing in bad faith or if this is just a mistake to be honest.
Does someone forbid you from repairing it? I am not sure if you're arguing in bad faith or if this is just a mistake to be honest.>>>
No answer, evil government took him out after taking away his repair rights >.< (which rights arent even mentioned anywhere so idk what the fuck u feel entitled to that is allegedly being taken away here)
That message wasnt a reply to any comment of yours? I even copied a part of his reply to mine
✌️
They sign and lock hardware to prevent you from swapping parts. How do you not see this as bad and anti-consumer? Like they are actively preventing you from repairing something for no reason.
Your argument was this, not anti-consumer, so even though none of his sources mentioned a right to repair by government, only a right to own, a private entity making their parts hard to swap would not necessarily infringe on that repair right, as far as we are concerned it could only cover being allowed to attempt whatever repairs you want. Now, if you manage to find a source about that right to repair that ALSO mentions easy repairs by third parties, we can argue further
Right to repair isn't a law yet in most places. You seem have have missed that whole debacle.
Edit: my country actually has right to repair laws: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57665593
It is not a law in most places yet and yet you defended the other guy when you said he was claiming apple is violating his repair rights and that I was arguing in bad faith??
And since when do I care about the law? Also there are laws about repair in my country.
You dont care about law after debating its definition for 10 comments and defending others mentioning it nice
