I guess this is good? But I'm a lot less interested in having companies be required to do repairs than I am in making sure they don't obstruct repairing by others.. in fact, a little worried that those goals will end up in conflict.. engadget.com/eus-new-right-to-

In addition, manufacturers can't stop the use of second-hand, original, compatible or 3D-printed spare parts by independent repairers as long as they're in conformity with EU laws. They must provide a website that shows prices for repairs, can't refuse to fix a device previously repaired by someone else and can't refuse a repair for economic reasons.

This supports that, no?
