     @arstechnica Oregon’s new right-to-repair law, the first of its kind, is a significant step towards consumer rights. Starting 2025, it bans software checks that block repair parts, promoting repairability and reducing electronic waste. This could set a precedent for other states to follow. #RightToRepair
