British right to repair law comes into force today, but excludes smartphones and computers
"For now, the right to repair laws only cover:
- Dishwashers
- Washing machines and washer-dryers
- Refrigeration appliances
- Televisions and other electronic displays"
"Cookers, hobs, tumble dryers, microwaves or tech such as laptops or smartphones aren’t covered."
