From the California Legislature’s document site:

This bill would enact the Right to Repair Act. The bill would require, except as specified and regardless of whether any express warranty is made, the manufacturer of an above-described electronic or appliance product, in the above-described circumstances, and in those same circumstances but sold to others outside of direct retail sales, to make available, on fair and reasonable terms, to product owners, service and repair facilities, and service dealers, the means, as described, to effect the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of the product, as provided. The bill would also require a service and repair facility or service dealer that is not an authorized repair provider, as defined, of a manufacturer to provide a written notice of that fact to any customer seeking repair of an electronic or appliance product before the repair facility or service dealer repairs the product, and to disclose if it uses replacement parts that are used or from a supplier that is not the manufacturer.

SB 244 has been around since the start of this year, at least officially.

If anyone is interested in seeing how legislation changes over time, I implore you to look at this service; I would go as far as to say that educational instruction would be aided by directing students here.

There is a lot of content in here but becoming accustomed to reading the text of legislation allows you to be more independent from mass media.

Speaking with FedScoop, the officials expressed concern that USDS, led by Mina Hsiang, and GSA, led by Robin Carnahan, in the past year have focused on small, niche projects while deprioritizing big ticket items like redesigning government websites, setting tech policy standards and improving agency branding. One such niche project, cited by two officials, was a public benefits studio run by GSA’s Technology Transformation Services team, which is a pilot text notification system.

It sounds like too much progress is being made for the sake of progress.

We should be hearing about budget concerns rather than these agencies focusing on non-priotity issues.

I don’t want to start saying that these agencies are bloated or are set up in a way to benefit political partners without any work being done but it seems that way.

Perhaps it would be better to get people with real passion into the rosters rather than people interested in entertaining the public.

Yeah but people used to actually have paying jobs through SL, this is closer to Steam’s systems IMO (Steam also appeals more to children than SL).

This is not a defense either, only adding something else to keep in mind.

While this may not be the thing you’re looking for, it is easy to create your own noise with VCV Rack. You can record noise that you like and transfer it to your device of choice, completely free.

It is also a very powerful music production tool but it is lightweight and fairly easy to use for noise.

You can use ffmpeg to get the M4A and stream that instead of the whole MP4, could probably automate it too if you want to stream an MP4 that hasn’t been processed yet.

You can install GApps after your custom OS in order to get the features that Google provides with official Android releases like the Google Play Store.
