Allows companies to sell like the whole motherboard which could cost as much as a new computer when only a 5 dollar chip from Texas Instruments would fix it. This is exactly what Apple does. Samsung did this with batteries.

This bill was to reduce e-waste but it's going to increase it dramatically. It will also make it harder for actual true legislation to happen.
