    We almost need a new term for this, because Digital Rights Management (DRM) is usually for digital media. I’d almost want to call this Physical Rights Management, since it’s controlling our right to physically repair and swap parts.

      It’s called “right to repair”, if I’m not mistaken.

        Right to repair is the term from the consumer perspective. I’m talking about a term for the anti-repair locks that Apple is putting in their products (since DRM doesn’t quite fit, though it’s close)
