Right to Repair
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A movement and policy position arguing that users and independent shops should have access to the parts, tools, manuals, and legal rights needed to repair their own devices. In tech culture it connects sustainability, ownership, and resistance to locked-down hardware ecosystems.
In plain English: The idea that people should be allowed and able to fix the devices they own.
Example: "The battery glue controversy became part of a larger right to repair argument."
