The Right to Repair: What It Means for Everyday Tech Owners

Who really controls the devices you buy—you or the manufacturer? In this episode of Act on Tech, Alex breaks down the growing Right-to-Repair movement and why it matters for anyone who owns a smartphone, laptop, tablet, or smart device. Learn how new laws are changing the way tech can be repaired, why big companies resisted these changes, and how the shift empowers consumers and small repair shops. From reduced costs to longer device lifespans and less e-waste, this episode explains how Right to Repair gives everyday tech owners more freedom—and more control—over the devices they rely on.
