    Right to Repair - A Discussion

    You are completely wrong. I own a GA-400 (Though not in that godawful color scheme) and have been in its guts numerous times. As you can clearly see, its case is solid plastic with metal screws through the back that go directly into said plastic. So do you intend to retract your BS...

    Right to Repair - A Discussion

    This. People are ignoring the distinction between positive and negative rights. Most people recognize the right to life, f'rex. But even if they have a right to life, if I see somebody in a burning building and do not save them, I'm not liable. At worst I might be considered a complete jerk...

    Right to Repair - A Discussion

    Proponents of the Right to Repair consider it a natural extension of the Rights to Property and Liberty, which are bolstered in about a dozen places in the constitution. Essentially, your right to use your own property as you please and your liberty to do so are infringed if the company...
