The right to repair movement focuses mostly on the actual repair of the item but when so many of these items are using microcontrollers that are running software code instead of simply running solid state systems the right to repair the hardware itself is insufficient. The United States is too dumb and too controlled by a businesses to pass any meaningful legislation but I would hope that the EU would step up and pass legislation that says when you EOL a product, like this, which is a physical appliance that is running software code you must also open source along with all appropriate tooling that software code. So this way the community can continue to repair these devices because they are not functionally obsolete they are obsolete because the cannot support them forever but third parties absolutely can. We have technology that's now 50 plus years old that is integrated circuits transistors etc that third parties are supporting and repairing had manufacturers have long abandoned. Well you complain all the time about e-waste but recycling is not the only option rebuilding and reusing our options as well.
One other thing that should be considered is that even though this is an end of life product this was a defect that existed from the beginning of the life of this product. Therefore this was defective the entire time it just wasn't discovered until now. This is another area a legislators need to step in and correct. Automobiles have no time limit on a safety recall. The reason for that is that safety issue was present from the beginning it doesn't matter if it took 15 years to be discovered once it's discovered you know it's in absolutely every single one of these that's in service and has always been there. Therefore the manufacturer is required to correct it.
