Soft and hardware makers, closed ones that is, are extremely secretive over their code and hardware. If there's a flaw, bug, or error, you are at their mercy to fix their code or issue a recall or something; you can't fix it yourself. In fact, fixing your own hardware will most certainly void warranty. Since we haven't had a decent car analogy on OSNews in a while, US Congress handed us one on a silver platter.

Right-to-repair? Since when did one have to have an extra right to something you own? Unless of course you only rented the car you bought. Or only bought the use-right. And what happened to possesion?
Oh dear oh dear :p
