Comment on Google Is ‘Thinking Through’ How to Make the Pixel Watch Repairable
Teils13@lemmy.eco.br 1 week agojust make it easily repairable by third stores with minimally qualified people and cheap tools, like digital watches already were and are. Or, make a full collecting and recycling tax to be paid by those uncaring clients.

No, that’s not good enough. “Right to repair” is kind of an unfortunate name, because it really shouldn’t be just about repair. My property rights include a right to modify, too, and letting manufacturers off the hook by doing first-party replacements instead of facilitating work by third-parties is not sufficient to protect that right!

I’d settle for first party repair and a repair window of up to 20 years.
