What do you do when your phone breaks?
Our new ‘right to repair’ initiative will make it easier and cheaper for consumers to repair defective goods.
By promoting repairs both within and beyond the legal guarantee, it will:
🔹 reduce waste,
🔹 boost the repair sector and
🔹 make repairs easier and cheaper for consumers.
@EU_Commission I generally buy a new one because it's usually several years after I bought it and newer software is making it lag like a laggy thing that lags anyway.
Desktops and laptops I repair because they've gotten over the Moore's Law hump and even a ten year old laptop is still useful. Plus they're held together by screws instead of glue. Can you do something about that glue thing? It's kind of abusive.
@EU_Commission
