Colorado Kills Tech-Backed Right-to-Repair Rollback in Blow to Cisco, IBM

A Colorado House committee voted 7-4 to kill SB26-090, which would have exempted some IT equipment in “critical infrastructure” from the state’s right-to-repair law.

  • Is Starting an SMSF Wisely Timed After New Tax Changes?
    May 30, 2026, 7:12 PM EDT. With recent budget changes, self-managed super funds (SMSFs) are gaining attention for their tax advantages in Australia. Setting up an SMSF typically costs around A$4,000, with annual audit and tax fees about the same. Financial advice may add A$7,000 to A$10,000 yearly for SMSFs with balances near A$1 million, aligning costs with standard industry funds plus advisors. Going fully DIY can reduce costs but involves significant time and risk due to potential knowledge gaps. Experts warn against frequent SMSF monitoring, as it may hamper returns; patience is key. Alternative options like wrap platforms offer investment flexibility with less administrative burden and lower costs. For those managing tight finances and uncertain priorities, modest inheritance funds might best serve to reduce mortgage debt, offering emergency access and financial relief.
