    MEP EP#272: The Digital Mattress

    • Right To Repair
    • Ease of opening for repairs
      • This sounds great but I have some thoughts
      • Reason why phones are hard to open now
      • Security screws only keep out people that probably shouldn’t be opening the device anyways
      • Ultrasonic welding and potting?
      • Access to manuals
        • What if repair manuals don't exist for a product?
        • Small and medium volume products don’t have the revenue or volume to make this kind of documentation
        • Schematics, Circuit Diagrams, and Firmware Accessible
          • What if the schematic is the secret sauce?
          • Schematics are easily reverse engineered from a PCB assembly.
          • What mechanics will be put in place to prevent cloning?
          • Hardware Vs Software
          • Tesla
            • Software unlock to increase motor output by 50HP
            • August software update
            • License
              • Make all contracts clearly identify which elements of the machine are not included in the sale
              • Do not allow companies to create contract language (End User License Agreements) that modify or limit support options in the future
                • Most of the problems the Right to Repair movement wants to fix could be solved here
                • If this was more upfront to customers then they could make a better purchasing decision
                • Parts and Tools
                  • Make service parts and tools available at non-discriminatory pricing to equipment owners and third parties.
                  • Design
                    • Integrate Design for Repair principles into eco-design product design practices.
                    • DFR - Design for Recycle
                    • Right to Repair VS Right to be Repaired
                    • It's easy to say we should have a right to repair something but is it OK to force companies to make something repairable?
                    • NFTs
                      • WUT?
                      • Non Fungible Token
                        • ...more
