So what?

That’s a piece of legislation about cars.

It doesn’t apply to anything else, nor should it.

There are similar laws for electronics, at least in EU, you need to have a good reason to void my warranty, if I say upgraded the 512Gb SSD with a bigger one and then the keyboard broke you just need to put an effort and invent some plausible reason before you void my warranty.

Though let's be honest, most people that end up in third party repair shops are there because the warranty expired already and for example Apple charged them almost the full price of the device to have it fixed.

“Apple charged them almost the full price of the device to have it fixed.”

What kind of repair are you talking about?

and by amazing sheer coincidence the main topic, and the poster you try to argue with both talk about CARS.

So what - we’re talking about the more general right to repair. The original posting also talks about Apple.

If you want to talk about things that only apply to cars, this isn’t a very useful conversation to be having on Hacker News.

If you want to explain how this law would be applied in a more general way, that might help.
