Announcement mentioned on the show:
Right to Repair: PennPirg, a nonprofit dedicated to public interest, suggests you contact your PA state senator (not federal senator) to ask for support for SB 833 (senate bill). This bill has already passed the state House and has bipartisan support. It requires manufacturers of most electronics and appliances to provide access to parts, tools and information needed to repair those devices. Currently, manufacturers often do not. Without right to repair, ewaste and cost to us goes up.
