Schematics, CAD files and open firmware provided at sale should be the end goal for all electronics. But making vendors rely on common tools and utilities for disassembling their products is a good start.

It should then also be applied to cars. Give manufactures about 3 years to sort their shit out, make their vehicle repairable, modifyable, or alternatively every car made after the fact has an automatic 300% tariff on it - whether it is foreign or locally made.

Set a hard line for those bastards. Watch BMW, WV, Ford, etc cry their sweet crocodile tears...

While BYD goes "okay, boss - thanks for bigger market share".

Also open protocolls for data should be required by law. In order to break all these platforms.

I do not want to be forced to use WhatsApp just because everyone is using it.

Also I want to use devices from different manufacturers and combine them with each other. E.g. I want to be able to use garmin sensors/devices together withthr suunto sports watch or the withing scale etc.
