For instance i went to college in Redmond, and i lived in North Seattle. Seattle proper has bridges going north of it, west, and east and the traffic on big interstates like I5 is jammed packed every single day. A trip from my campus to home a trip of a little over 10 miles would take upwards of a hour and a half most days, crossing two major bridges (520 floating and Aurora bridge) and this was before they tolled them.

Please give her a thank you for taking the time out of her day to come testify today. I have attended many hearings in the past five years and this was the best testimony I have ever heard.

Never underestimate the impact a single person can have. I worked as a low level employee of a big utility company. Periodically employee surveys were taken. People didn’t care much about it because the general feeling was that the company didn’t really care about the results either and it was more for looks and PR so the employees didn’t put much effort in it. A question in the survey was about different social/environmental initiatives the company could do. They all were pretty “lame” like encourage staff to commute via bike or public transport. I went to my supervisor and told him all the suggestions were crap and as a utility company we could have a truly great impact if we choose to change to renewable energy. This was before renewable energy was a big thing. My supervisor looked into it and realized that we could switch to 100% renewable energy without raising the price for our consumers. My supervisor took the idea to the management and only some month later my company switched to 100% renewable energy and became a trendsetter in that field. All of that because I was not happy with the laziness of the suggested ideas and did not just fill in a box with a X but rather told my ideas to someone. Never underestimate yourself or the impact you as a person can have. Sometimes it only takes 5 minutes to talk to the right person to make a big difference. Maybe your voice, stories, ideas for right to repair you tell to someone or to a committee is what will turn the scale.

There are more than 3 times as many people in the area and basically the same roads as when I got my drivers license. Ther have been some added lanes, like I-5 swapping out the shoulders for one, but many, many roads have had lane reduction. So you would think transit would be an option, but to get the 12 miles from my house to work takes several transfers and at least 1 3/4 hours each way. Since work is VOIP and VPN it would be possible for me to work at home some days, but that will never happen. Sigh.

Jokes were great, but outbursts of laughter wouldn't have been appropriate.

I'm glad you highlighted this testimony, because there is something she said that probably went over some peoples' heads but is an extremely good argument. "As someone who hires in the information security industry, I know how critical it is to employ people with curious minds who want to know how things work. I want to see more of those minds working jobs here in the state of Washington." In other words, if Washington doesn't pass this bill, and other states do, the valuable potential employees and contributors to the state of Washington will simply find somewhere else to live and work, and Washington will fall behind. Tarah isn't just making a case for the consumer, she is making a fundamental connection between the existence of a proper free market and the economic success of the state.

Government isn't created to turn out efficiently thinking people nor to foster growth. It's created to reign in what authority see as chaos and/or lack of control over its subjects. For example, govt would hire Tara, then crush her under a work load just to keep her in check and prevent subjects from sharing her knowledge and ideas.

If any potential employer did hire her and try that maneuver, it would not be unreasonable to think she would catch onto the scheme quickly ans simply find another employer.

OMG, this woman breathes fire! What an awesome speech. Fuck yeah! Very well put, ms. Wheeler. Great job. I'm amazed.

Amazing testimony, Tarah! Thank you for stating so much great information so eloquently and succinctly!

Flawless execution, she got her words out effectively and effeciently, with no waisted context or unnecessary or invalid information.

"Now and AFTER the hearing." What an ending!

This whole "right to repair" thing reminded me of my interaction with Asus about my laptop. For some reason Asus has a model number that's printed on the box, and etched on the outside of the computer, and then a completely separate model number for the board and internal components. Both model numbers appear on their website as being separate models, with separate pages for drivers, despite the laptop not being sold at all under the board model number. What's worse is all their technician manuals are internal. I was wanting to know the compatibility unused M.2 SSD slot on my motherboard, so they had to pull what the slot was tested for internally. The technician manual for the box model number had no mention of the slot. I told them "I'm looking at it right now", so they looked at the one for the board model number, and gave me the information I needed. I remember asking if any of this information was in a place I could access and they said no. They also said that, since the slot was only tested for SSDs 256GB and below, if I tried one at a higher capacity, they wouldn't service any issues that arose from it. To note, there's little reason for this cap to exist. It's likely, since it was an older motherboard, that 256GB SSDs were the largest commercially viable at the time, so they probably only tested that high, and are just using that as a baseline of what they'll service. TL;DR: Wanted to confirm the motherboard on my Asus laptop would support an SSD I wanted to buy. The laptop had two model numbers, and thus two internal technician manuals, only one of which had info at what the port was tested for. I had to call to get this information, and was also told that if I tired something they hadn't tested the motherboard for, they wouldn't service any issues that arose.

And its a pretty common issue with most "propietary information", I got grilled by my manager for even suggesting to use commonly available parts for a new product line, since it's not my job to design the products (I design the tools to weld and assemble the products, some Green Agricultural machines with a yellow logo that starts with John), let alone the guys that design the software that runs the machines, I find it extremely idiotic that you have to ship a 12000lbs machine back to a dealership 4 hours away, cause some ECU is failing and no one but your dealership technicians can "fix" instead of just releasing the software to 3rd party repair.

And there was Packard Bell, who hard-coded hard disks making replacement or upgrade near impossible, and no two machines seemed to have the same hardware inside.
