Now every* device gets a repair manual! (featuring Free Geek Twin Cities)
*some restrictions apply, because of course they do. :/ In today's episode of Veronica Explains, I talk about Minnesota's new right-to-repair law, the "Digital Fair Repair Act". Which is epic, yet sadly has some "interesting" carveouts. I also interview two awesome staff members at Free Geek Twin Cities, one of my favorite places in all of the land! Minnesotans will now get free manuals for most consumer electronics, thanks to this new law! And because most manufacturers will be expected to make the free manuals available online, that probably means everyone gets free manuals!
