The effect on open software and hardware is also disastrous.
Only if other states adopts this or similar laws. Otherwise, it's a simple workaround to buy whatever printer you want in Nevada. It would be perfectly legal too, since the law doesn't ban imports, only sales and transfers of non-compliant printers.

The easier way is just not to do business in California. If someone downloads the operating system in a way that doesn't include any commercial transaction, that's on them, not you.
CA recently sued two out of state parties for providing codes for 3D printed firearms. The state has no evidence that either of the parties does any business in CA. Not doing business will not preclude CA from making your life difficult.

They won't be able to ban VPNs. Even China doesn't ban foreigners from using VPNs because that would stop a huge percentage of foreign business travel to China.

It is quite illegal to "replace" workers only because they use their legal right to negotiate working conditions. It would be a surefire way to get the company in trouble.

People reload/manufacture their own ammunition in the US also. Just as with firearms, it would be harder if certain precursor material are banned. But, can you really ban sulfur, nitrate, and potassium? A reminder that some random weirdo was able to manufacture a working firearm complete with ammunition to assassinate a former Prime Minister in a country with the strongest gun control laws in the world. No 3D printing needed.

18-year-old Chloe Cole said Thursday that she is suing Kaiser Permanente for a transgender surgery performed on her when she was 13.
In a complaint filed with the San Joaquin Superior Court, her lawyers claim, a team of doctors at Kaiser performed what they described as a "mutilating sex change experiment," instead of focusing more on Cole’s mental health, which they said included gender dysphoria.
Kaiser is being sued for providing gender transitioning services to a then 13-year-old girl.

Laws which require backup noises apply to vehicles where there is no person operating the vehicle who can reasonably see behind them.
That raises an interesting question. Should this requirement apply to autonomous vehicles equipped with sensors that would prevent it from hitting a pedestrian when reversing?
The charging stations shouldn't be located in these places
Then the city should have banned charging stations in these locations via zoning before one was built there. Knowing Santa Monica, I bet they loved the idea of a charging station being built there before they realized that being green doesn't mean there won't be negatives.
