Is repairability and durability too much to ask?

I have yet to be convinced that there's a clear benefit to direct fixation. It's kinda poles vs underground power lines. Does one optimize for longevity or repairability?

But they make great cars that have thoughtful interiors and mostly easy repairability for less than those brands they're "copying" so I'm for the Temu designs if that keeps being true

if apple allows you to install other OSes alongside macos (assuming both windows and linux get better arm support), I might consider switching. it's like the one dealbreaker feature that I want, outside of better repairability and lower costs ofc.

Expensive items like the battery, the screen and body electronics, and that's where being locked in hurts most. If you value long-term ownership and repairability, a traditional brand is the safer choice. Dystopian Musk is the liability. Ask for refund.

Great demonstration. Scaling this approach will hinge on thermal management, radiation tolerance, repairability and data-downlink economics. Solar power is only one part of the system; operating lifetime and cost per useful computation will shape where it fits.

You know, there are degoogled phones that do all the same stuff and don't try to enter your orifices by consent but without permission. I already built a PC and installed Linux, and I'm not a nerd. For my next trick I will end my iphone for only $380 bucks. Brax phone.

What's the likely repairability of fridges? My grandparents' fridge had Schrader valves for topping up the gas, probably R12! When I joined the motor industry R12 was just vented to atmosphere during repairs to air conditioning. Fortunately, hardly any cars in the UK had AC in those days!

Like in terms of repairability, a taiwan-made aluminium frame from the early 2000s with shimano parts is way more sustainable than an esoteric steel framed road bike from the 80s which seems to be what the author advocates for, and more comfortable and lighter as well.

Matelas : le prix ne dit presque rien de la durabilité
Aucune note officielle de durabilité n'est obligatoire pour les matelas en France : le dispositif public couvre des produits électriques et électroniques. Le prix ne mesure pas la résistance à l'usure ; densité par couche, structure et exclusions de garantie sont les repères vérifiables.

Surface Laptop Ultra doubles Apple MacBook Pro's repairability score in iFixit teardown
With 20 ARM processor cores, a fast Nvidia RTX graphics chip and a Mini-LED display with a brightness of over 1,000 nits, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra is an exciting alternative to the Apple MacBook Pro. As the teardown video by the experts at iFixit shows, the most expensive Surface Laptop is also relatively easy to repair.
