Tell Us: Should Consumers Have The 'Right to Repair' Their Own Devices?
from Where We Live · host Connecticut Public Radio
If your smartphone screen cracks, do you get it fixed or trade it in for the latest model? Repairing items can be less wasteful, but there are also growing legal challenges for people whose business is to repair technology from smartphones to tractors.
