Of course it was predictable that— once the “Right to Repair” laws meant that phone manufacturers had to provide consumer access to their assembly pixies—second order effects would arise.

I grabbed the creature (gently, mind you) by one wing and lifted it out from amid Rebecca Anu’s curls. “Is this creature providing you answers, Miss Anu? This is only a practice exam but we are also practicing the rules that apply for your finals.”

“That’s my emotional support pixie Miss!”

“Your emotional support pixie seems to have a tiny physics textbook”

“She’s just interested!”

“Nevertheless, the purpose of a pixie is what it does. You can have it back at the end of the period; then I want you to take them straight to your locker!”

The unintended consequence of the latest EU “right to repair” legislation means that phone manufacturers have to make the pixies used to assemble their devices available to consumers. Let me tell you, as a delivery driver, this causes no end of trouble. Your package made it to your doorstop just fine, sir, it’s not our fault what they get up to when you let them out. #Tootfic #MicroFiction #PowerOnStoryToot
