Hi, this is Bill Sikkens host of User
Friendly
2
:
2.0 Saturdays here on The Answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.
3
:
This week on User Friendly,
we're going to talk about right to repair
4
:
in the current status of this in 2026.
5
:
For anybody that doesn't know right
to repair as a topic,
6
:
that refers to the idea
that if you buy something, you should
7
:
have the right to be able to work on it
yourself and repair it yourself.
8
:
A lot of manufacturers
don't like this idea,
9
:
and they create situations
where you need special tools, or access
10
:
to special software
11
:
or other things to be able to get in
and diagnose and figure out what's wrong
12
:
with your product.
13
:
In some cases,
it goes on where they will say,
14
:
if you get in here and mess with anything,
it actually will.
15
:
Voyager warranty.
16
:
One of the biggest areas
that this has been a problem with
17
:
is on the farm, where things like tractors
have to work in a very timely fashion,
18
:
and modern equipment,
just like our cars, is very,
19
:
very advanced
and has a lot of these different things.
20
:
This week on User Friendly 2.0,
21
:
we're going to talk about right to repair
where it's at
22
:
if we're getting the right
to repair or not.

:
So join us Saturday
