    If you haven’t done one yet you’ll never be more proud of yourself than replacing your own phone screen.

      I’ve honestly never shattered a phone screen in 15-ish years of having a phone. I’ve also never needed a new battery.

      But I’ve watched many hours of videos about doing it, so I’m ready. And I’m happy that it’s a possibility for so many people that need it.

    Man, I live right next door in Utah, and we don’t get any of the cool stuff. No legal weed (we have medical though), no right to repair, our “Idaho stop” law is worse, and no baseball team or football team. But at least we’re getting a hockey team, so I guess that’s cool.

    Good on you Colorado, maybe someday my state will be cool. But instead, we pass stupid anti-porn, anti-social media, and anti-trans laws (but at least the people are rising up against the anti-trans law).

    Gosh I wish that Denver were a bigger city. Colorado really is a lovely place.

    Cool, I feel like there are probably some loopholes but its a step in the right direction.

    My only concern is that having different laws for each state may make it hard for companies to comply and it may even lead to “location locked” devices.

      I doubt it, they’ll probably just go for the least common denominator, which is generally what happens with California’s laws (I see lots of “this may cause cancer in California” warnings on stuff, and I’ve never lived in Cali). Or the USB-C thing on iPhones due to EU laws and cookie banners due to EU and Cali laws.

      That would only be a concern if Colorado is the only market since they’re pretty small, but we’re seeing traction in other states, so we’re more likely to see companies just roll out most things to most states.

      They will likely discriminate a bit if you don’t live in one of the states (e.g. on warranties), but I doubt they’ll have a state filter for parts and whatnot because that probably costs more than just rolling it out to everyone.
