Right to repair regulations announced in the UK.

The rules that came into effect last week mean that repairing all new white goods, including dishwashers, washing machines, fridges, and TVs, must be better supported by the [[long-term availability of spare parts]].

In the US, there was also positive news for Right to Repair. President Biden issues an executive order that gives the [[Federal Trade Commission]] increased powers to enforce rules helping independent repair compete.

We also hear [[Steve Wozniak]] – co-founder of Apple – talking about his support for the right to repair and how he would not have gotten to where he is without it.
