CNN's John Berman says tech companies don't anticipate these problems. He has 20 devices attached to his home including a smoke detector, thermostat and computer. If the company goes out of business, "it's possible my smoke detector shuts down," he says. The tractor could be more open so that local repair people can get it working again if they go out of business - Berman.

Do we really own the devices we buy? ‘The Right to Repair’ author Aaron Perzanowki joins Adam to explain how companies are using their power to control the products we buy from them, even after they’ve left the store, and prevent us from repairing them ourselves. They discuss how this affects the environment, the livelihood of farmers, and the longevity of AirPods, and Aaron shares resources on how we can take power back and do our own repairs.
