hi this is Kyle from my fix it and i'm
here today to talk about right to repair
we've been working on the right to
repair campaign for a number of years
where our goal is to make sure that you
have the right to be able to repair
everything that you own and we've been
building an open source repair manual
doing absolutely everything we can to
get information online and free but we
just can't do it for everything and so a
bunch of folks got together and started
repaired org which is an association
that is working on introducing
legislation around the country to
require manufacturers to be a bit more
repair friendly the idea is that if the
manufacturers would share the repair
manuals on the parts that they have then
the rest of us could step up start
fixing our things maybe start local
repair shops and we get more of a local
repair ecosystem going so there is
common-sense legislation that's been
introduced in New York and we've had a
really great conversation over on the
NYC reddit today where we've been
talking about the bill and what some of
the implications are and what the
benefits of the local community would be
and I'd like to invite you to come and
join the discussion we're talking with
Luis rossman who runs a fantastic board
level repair shop in Manhattan and has
phenomenal videos over on this channel
he should check it out and Jessa Jones
who runs minden iPad rehab where she
repairs iPad circuit boards all kinds of
other things and they need access to
board level schematics the kinds of
repairs that that we did last year we
did a whole bunch of board level repairs
got the microscope and we were replacing
individual transistors resistors on the
board that's the kind of repairs that
we'd like to be able to do it's the
future of repair but it requires access
to schematics and information that we
don't necessarily have on I fix it so
please join the discussion come hang out
with us over at the am a thread on
reddit and if you know anyone from New
York or if you're from New York reach
out to your legislator we have an
opportunity over the next week to have
an impact there is a bill that has been
introduced in both the Senate and the
assembly and in order for that bill to
move we need as many people as possible
call their legislators and say that we
would like an up-or-down vote on the
Senate and Assembly floor on the fair
repair bill thanks so much for watching
right to repairs are growing movement
we're starting to see bills introduced
all over the place and New York right
now is ground zero it's where we've got
the absolute best chance to have an
impact so please reach out to all your
friends from New York and let's make
this thing happen
