  Terry Gilliam’s 1985 cult film Brazil posits a polluted\,\n   hyper-con
 sumerist and totalitarian dystopia in which a renegade\n   heating enginee
 r\, Archibald Tuttle\, takes great risks to conduct\n   repairs outside of
  the stifling and inefficient bureaucracy of\n   “Central Services.” W
 hen Tuttle’s rogue repairs are detected\,\n   Central Services workers d
 emolish and seize repaired systems under the\n   pretext of “fixing” t
 hem. It’s dark. It's also not so far off\n   from our present reality in
  which device makers use always-on Internet\n   connections\, DRM and expa
 nsive copyright and IP claims to sustain\n   “Central Services”-like m
 onopolies on the service and repair of\n   appliances\, agricultural and m
 edical equipment\, personal electronics\n   and more. The net effect of th
 is is a less- not more secure ecosystem\n   of connected things that burde
 ns consumers\, businesses and the planet.\n   Our panel of repair and cybe
 rsecurity experts will delve into how\n   OEMs’ anti-repair arguments tr
 umpet cybersecurity risks\, while\n   strangling independent repair and di
 ssembling about the abysmal state\n   of embedded device security. We’ll
  also examine how the emergent\n   “right to repair” movement aims to 
 dismantle this emerging\n   “Brazil” style dystopia and lay the founda
 tion for a\n   “circular” economy that reduces waste while also ensuri
 ng better\n   security and privacy protections for technology users.\n   '
