Not sure if smart TVs fall under "electronic displays", or if they just mean commercial displays when they say that.
microwave ovens..

John deer tractor lost a case that became famous in my rural area (and elsewhere). It now have to let repair shop acces the tools and allow repair on its tractors.
I take the win ! And we continue to push forward in talks, petitions, actions and repairs (autorised or else) Support and/or use open source.
