For further clarification:
The Antarctic Peninsula(the long bit sticking out) is the furtest part away from the south pole in the antarctic and is thus the northernmost part, and is generally considered to be the “north” when using cardinal directions there. The Weddell Sea is off the coast of the peninsula.
This is a step in the right direction and it’s a good thing it passed, but there’s a reason the linked article is pretty vague and doesn’t link to the bill. In short, it’s basically just that starting next year manufacturers have to provide documentation and potentially tools(like software) to facilitate third party repair on certain household consumer electronics.
I’ve had some beers and only skimmed it, so I really hope I’m reading it wrong or missed something. Because it seems to exclude a lot of things. Ranging from video game consoles to basically anything that can be used outdoors and has a motor or battery.
TL;DR: At a drunk glance it looks like a “third party phone repair” bill.
