      Actually, yes. I would love for the ability to be able to buy parts to repair anything that I own. I am perfectly fine if the vendor then refuses to warranry the device if I make my own repairs or otherwise limit my rights to sue or things like that.

      There's a business model where the manufacturer sells two versions of the same product, one cheaper and basic, one more expensive and with more features sometimes following right-to-repair rules would mean that the basic version could be easily turned into the advanced version

      Replying to @ded_ruckus @sound_hologram and

      this would probably mean that the basic versions would go away, and the more expensive advanced version would become the only one on the market which is bad for poorer customers

      I would expect a secondary effect where the proliferation of aftermarket parts suppliers would make entry of new manufacturers easier. Possibly some convergence on general quasi-OS specs/patterns like you see in unbranded Chinese goods.

      Also, potentially, lower cost of repair would mean that the new "cheaper version" would be older refurbs. The overall result of the second (and third and etc.) order effects are really hard to predict here (many such cases).

      Upper-middle-class lifestylers' ability to get a continual drip of "next new things" and bureaucrats' ability to micromanage the built environment are in direct conflict with working class people's ability to build physical capital. Guess who wins?

      how does UMC getting new things prevent working class people from accumulating capital?

          The intervention of the legal system sustaining business models based on artificial obsolescence. This makes higher levels of product dev investment sustainable at the cost of making the maintenance and refurbishing of older products more expensive or outright illegal.

          what legal systems enforce what artificial obsolescence? ...and how does this prevent capital accumulation?
