When it comes to parts/repair, (most) Computers are a bit of a different beast than other electronics. They're specifically built/designed to use standardized connections and form factors that allow you to swap a large variety of parts from a wide range of manufacturers as desired. You often don't need or even want original replacement parts as you upgrade to better/faster hardware piecemeal.

There's few other product categories that achieve the same level of inter-compatibility or upgradability.

Compared to something like a smart phone for example; where parts have to be made for that specific devices make/model, and are often explicitly designed to make this impossible/impractical for any third party to do via thing's like serialized part-pairing, while companies also restrict the supply of OEM components to end-users or 'unauthorized' repair centers... This is where right to repair laws really come into play.

If you have the ability to repair, the law entitles you to manuals and parts, and the parts must be at a reasonable price.

While true, I highly doubt this will apply retroactively. Manufacturers wont be forced to make parts available for existing/old tech; devices sold going forward will be required to maintain a supply of parts.

This will also apply to repair technicians not being able to get parts for old tech; so waiting to pass it off to a repair center won't solve this either.

All that is to say; if you can't find parts to repair it yourself now, there's not a lot of point stockpiling dead devices waiting on the law to change, as they won't really be affected by that change.

Purely to help placate the public. There's no influence/true intent behind these words. It's the actions, not the words, that tell the true story.

That was kinda my thoughts too; just use a log splitter with a sharper blade.

There's a lot of long-term cost associated with imprisonment. The death penalty is cheaper to impose. If you're never going to let them go, why not rid yourself of the burden.

All's well until you press eject...

Thanks; I hate it.

Telus is the one that's sent me dozens of notices; they don't care. They just pass on the message they received and wash their hands.
