Ayibandakanyi amakhonsoli egeyimu yevidiyo, igiya lezokwelapha, okokusebenza kwepulazi noma ukwakha, amathuluzi okuvikela edijithali, noma izimoto. Kodwa ekufuneni ukuthi amamanuwali, amathuluzi, kanye nezingxenye zenziwe kutholakalele izinto eziningi zikagesi nezinto zikagesi, umthethosivivinywa wase-Minnesota osanda kuphasiswa welungelo lokulungisa uhlanganisa isisekelo esikhulu sanoma yisiphi isifunda sase-US okwamanje.
I Umthethosivivinywa Welungelo Ledijithali Lokulungisaiphasiswe njengengxenye ye umthetho we-omnibus futhi isayinwe nguHulumeni u-Tim Walz ngoLwesithathu, “igcwalisa izintuba eziningi ezamanzisa umthetho we-New York Right to Repair,” kusho uNathan Proctor, umqondisi omkhulu womkhankaso wokulungisa ilungelo lokulungisa we-Public Interest Research Group. eposini.
Umthethosivivinywa waseNew York, ihlaselwe abakwa-lobbyistskwaba isayinwe ngefomu elilungisiwe nguGov. Kathy Hochul ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule. Iphinde ikhulule izimoto nemishini yezokwelapha, kanye nemishini ethengiswe ngaphambi komhla ka-1 Julayi 2023, kanye nazo zonke “ibhizinisi-kuya-ibhizinisi” kanye nemishini “yebhizinisi ukuya kuhulumeni”. Umthethosivivinywa oshintshiwe uphinde wavumela abakhiqizi ukuthi bathengise “imihlangano” yezingxenye-njengebhodi lomama eliphelele esikhundleni sengxenye ngayinye, noma lonke icala eliphezulu I-Apple ngokuvamile ihlinzeka esikhundleni sebhethri elishintshayo noma ikhibhodi—uma ukufakwa kwengxenye ngayinye engafanele “kukhulisa ingozi yokulimala.”
I-Colorado ngenyanga edlule yadlula umthethosivivinywa wokukhanda oqondiswe ngqo kugandaganda kanye neminye imishini yezolimo, ezoqala ukusebenza ngonyaka ozayo.
Umthethosivivinywa wase-Minnesota, ngokuqhathanisa, uhlanganisa imikhiqizo eminingi ye-elekthronikhi ethengiswa ngomhla ka-1 Julayi 2021 noma ngemva kwalokho, futhi ayikuvumeli ukuqonda komkhiqizi okuningi kangako. Izinkampani ezithengisa e-Minnesota kodwa ezinganikezi amakhasimende noma izitolo zokulungisa ezizimele izinto ezidingekayo ukuze kulungiswe amadivayisi anemigomo “efanele futhi enengqondo” futhi phakathi kwezinsuku ezingu-60 zingatholwa ngokwephula umthetho wezwe Wemikhuba Yokuhweba Ekhohlisayo.
Kodwa izinkampani akudingeki ukuthi zithengise izingxenye noma amathuluzi uma zingasenziwa noma imishini ingasathengiswa. U-Kyle Wiens, oyi-CEO yomthengisi wokukhanda kanye nommeli we-iFixit, kanye no-Gay Gordon-Byrne, umqondisi we-Repair.org, bazwakalise ukudumala ngalokhu kuqoshwa. “Uma ochwepheshe bekhwalithi benemibhalo, bangakwazi ukuqhubeka nokulungisa umkhiqizo isikhathi eside, noma ngaphandle kosizo lomkhiqizi,” kusho uGordon-Byrne esitatimendeni.
Ngokuphawulekayo, amadivaysi ekhompyutha ebhizinisi ambozwe ngaphansi komthetho waseMinnesota. Kodwa umthethosivivinywa uvumela ukukhululwa “kumishini yobuchwepheshe bolwazi ehloselwe ukusetshenziswa kwingqalasizinda ebalulekile” njenge kuchazwe ngeKhodi yase-US. Okunye okukhishiwe ngamathuluzi okulungisa “angase asetshenziswe ngokunengqondo ukubeka engcupheni i-cybersecurity noma okokusebenza kwe-cybersecurity.” Nakuba kubonakala kuncane, kusazobonakala ukuthi abakhiqizi bangakwelula kude kangakanani “okubucayi” noma “ukuphepha kwe-cybersecurity” ekwenqabeni ukuhlinzeka ngamathuluzi okulungisa.
I-iFixit’s Wiens ikhomba lokho, uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi abakhiqizi kufanele manje banikeze kanjani imibhalo yamahhala kubantu baseMinnesota abafuna ukulungisa izimpahla zabo, izinkampani eziningi zizozithumela ku-inthanethi. Uma sebeku-inthanethi, banesibopho sokusabalala yonke indawo.
“Ngemibhalo eku-inthanethi, abantu yonke indawo emhlabeni – hhayi eMinnesota kuphela – bazohlomula kulokhu,” kusho uWiens. “Abakhiqizi, lungisani. Bonke abanye, lungisani.”
Imibukiso ye-Repair.org 25 ezinye izifunda ngezikweletu zokulungisa ezisebenzayo ngo-2023. Ezingeni likahulumeni, uMongameli Biden uphushe izinhlangano zikahulumeni, okuhlanganisa Umnyango Wezolimo futhi I-Federal Trade Commissionukubheka ukuhlehlisa izithiyo ezijwayelekile zokulungisa.
Ukudalula: Umbhali uke wasebenzela i-iFixit, inkampani esebenzayo ekukhulumeni okufanele ukulungisa. Akanaso isabelo sezimali enkampanini.
