I've used 3 unrelated baby cams and junked them all because not one was remotely usable, never mind reliable.

The Minnesota law covers all electronics except cybersecurity tools, video game consoles, cars, medical devices, and farm equipment.

Wow, not to suggest that this bill isn't better than the alternative, but those are some awful exclusions.

A lot of the early right to repair movement came out of farm equipment, and medical devices are the most obvious need for rules like this.

Can you just drop to assembly for what you want to do? Gnu compilers even have inline assembly, but with any compiler you should at least be able to built a separate, assembly, object file.

I know you put in scare quotes, but I have to note for newcomers: as an open software built on an open web standard, 3rd party apps are first class citizens for Lemmy
