Good
Fucking amazing! Hope this rolls over into consumer and all other spaces, so we can actually repair our devices
Great news.
Came here to make sure it was posted. I haven’t seen Louis looking this triumphant in ages.
Especially in the last month still fighting with New York, and the number of times some repair bill got poisoned at the last minute.
This guy has truly walked the walk of his belief in right to repair and it’s great to see what a victory does for him. 🙂
That photo makes him look an oblivion npc about to call me the hero of kvatch.
This is awesome news. No one should need permission to modify a thing they own.
This is great but why is his face so blurry in the thumbnail?
W for consumers
Sorry to be ignorant, but if this everywhere in the country? This is huge!
So great to hear! Lets do all consumer products now!
Not a farmer, but glad ~~those~~ some boys can repair their own shit now. ~~That was~~ This is so stupid
Surreal to see not just a bill that’s for right to repair go through, it’s with absolutely 0 riders designed to curtail our rights as a whole.
This is genuinely news worth celebrating.
Lobbyist in Colorado here, saw this bill go through and today our governor is signing it! The main sponsor wrote a Right to Repair wheelchairs bill and is slowly but surely leveling up! First Trans lawmaker in the country and she’s out here pushing policy forward for farmers which is the exact opposite of what Fox News says Trans People would do for them. You love to see it!
Thank god. We use a CX15 bushog, and its gearbox blew. The only two options were a replacement proprietary bearing set made specifically by John Deere or a complete new gearbox. We only needed one specific bearing to fix it, but since it was John Deere they’ll have you pay 3700 dollars to get the kit. Whereas a new gearbox is 1100. It’s ridiculous.
You could really feel how satisfying it was for him to finally be able to make this video.
Holy shit man way to go to Louis and everyone else for finally getting this done!
I have never seen another thread with so many comments that are nearly incomprehensible. What is going on?
this is the first positive rossman video I’ve ever seen
This is rad. Farmers fix shit. It’s what they do. My grandpa was a farmer and if you suggested he take his tools to someone else to have them fixed, you’d get a death stare. My grandpa fixed everything himself. He even fixed my Nintendo.
God I remember watching one of this guys instructional videos YEARS ago to help my sister fix her macbook. It’s been crazy watching him evolve from simple repair video youtuber to actual fuckin DEFENDER OF THE PEOPLE who fights megacorps on the big legal stage AND WINS.
i love that he ended with a statement warning against “slow-walking” by “leaders”. controlled opposition is a huge hindrance to progress.
Good. I’m sure this exists somewhat in my industry, but definitely not with the same baldfaced greed of John Deere.
I’m the head brewer for a distribution focused brewery that uses a fairly high capacity canning line, at least compared to others with similar production size in the area. Thankfully the manufacturer is incredible from a customer service standpoint. We’ve at some point removed/repaired/replaced just about every moving part on that machine, and if we get stuck or need some guidance we can call their customer service line, and get an actual technician on the phone to walk us through the process free of charge. I feel like that’s EXTREMELY rare in this age of corporate greed.
The war is far from over. We need to protect our right to own and repair.
John Deere would over-engineer a can opener if they could.
Is this available to read somewhere? A PDF maybe?
Amazing. And all it took was 1 million dollars? Man, color me impressed.
As much as he knows about the topic, I never dared to hope the amount of money he had raised would be remotely enough to do all that was needed to be done
No such thing as winning. We just have enough awareness to sustain a difference
That awareness is constantly fluctuating
History tends to repeat itself for a reason
Never give up
This is what actual activism looks like 👏
This sets a fantastic precedent. Apple, you’re next.
What an absolute CHAD with balls of titanium alloy
