News next week: $(John Deere)'s HQ relocate to Mar a Lago.
News in a fortnight: Socialist right-to-repair laws under federal review. Texas lawmaker's under investigation.

Sorry about being that guy, but it is “fortnight”, not Fortnite, in this case.

Gosh darn. Thank you!

I was optimistic there for a sec. Just smoke and mirrors.
"This chapter does not apply to: (1)Information technology equipment...bla bla bla (2)a motor vehicle manufacturer... etc etc (3)a powersports vehicle or outboard motor (4)a medical device or product... bla bla (5)a manufacturer of farm equipment... derp (6)aerospace, aeroplane, or train equipment (7)heavy equipment (...) and on and on
It would be better to state what this bill DOES apply to, but... yeah, Texas.

Huh there's a right Texas doesn't want to destroy?
-
Anyone have a copy of the actual bill or the exceptions? A lot of right to repair stuff has come with some shitty asterisks that exempt certain things. Also, if signed, when is it supposed to take effect?
-
Exceptions:
- Tractors manufactured by companies with the initials "JD";
- Cell phones whose model name starts with the letter "i"
-
Wouldn't be surprised. Also by some of the worded definitions, I already see ways around following it for software and diagnostic stuff.

That's gonna take a while :-\

-
Guessing that right extends to repairing all the damage done to the federal government recently, by chance?

Rossman moved to Texas didn't he? After getting fed up with New Yorks bullshit.
