Comment on Right-to-repair is now the law in California

Though there’s a carve-out for game consoles.
That carve out is so blatant, and so obvious, that I’m surprised that actually exists.
It really puts a negative light on the politicians who wrote the law for all of the voters to see.
I really hope there’s some investigative reporting as to who wrote the law, and who wrote that clause, so we can identify them easier in the next election cycle.

This may seem like a joke, but it won’t be next dev conference 😂

They’re already pushing for more and more current gen games to be released on the iPhone 15. It’s pretty much there.

Sony already has experience with that kind of stunt.

iPhones have “parts pairing” (DRM in their parts). This right to repair laws is toothless against Apple. You still don’t have the right to repair any Apple device because you’d have to get around parts pairing and the DMCA (which is federal law, overrides state law).
There was a reason that Apple backed this law, because it will applies to everyone but them.
