@righttorepair @pluralistic In Alaska, people living away from our 3 big cities learn to repair broken devices as best they can, often there is no repair business in a town or village Even in the city areas, businesses that seek to make repairs are stymied by lockouts, withheld information and anti-modification laws. Here are 3 examples from a repair business near Anchorage, AK.
