I think we need #RightToRepair laws to stop this waste. You can't scrap perfectly good battery's because EV car manufacturers like #Mercedes are locking their digital products.

The sealed-in battery era is ending. Europe is pushing phone makers to make batteries easier to replace and built to last longer. Starting in 2027, mobile phones sold in the EU will generally need #batteries that consumers can remove and replace more easily #circulareconomy #ActOnClimate #Smartphone

Powerful specs, easier fixes? iFixit’s teardown gives the Surface Laptop Ultra twice the MacBook Pro’s repairability score. How much does repairability matter to you? https://www.notebookcheck.net/1440432.html #SurfaceLaptop #RightToRepair #iFixit
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.

Sam Altman says it's "quite terrible" for so much of the world's scarce memory to sit in people's own computers, used 5% of the time. It wants to be in the cloud, at maximum utilisation.

Idle and yours, or busy and rented. Choose carefully.

A photocopied office form printed in bone-white on midnight-navy paper, with ruled sections and filing holes down the left edge. Masthead: TECH SAVAGE. Title: INCIDENT REPORT No. 006. SYSTEM: THE MEMORY IN YOUR COMPUTER. WHAT HAPPENED: OPENAI’S BOSS SAYS IT WOULD BE BETTER USED IN THE CLOUD. WHAT WE HAVE DECIDED IS NORMAL, in huge letters with a pink and cyan offset: OWNING A COMPUTER IS AN INEFFICIENCY. A crooked amber rubber stamp at the top right reads NOTED.

Nobody regulates how RVs are built. The badge on the door certifies it won't explode. That's it.

Upgrading your iPhone doesn't mean you need the latest model; choosing a slightly newer or refurbished phone is still an upgrade. Electronic waste is a growing environmental problem, and we can reduce it by repairing.

Laptop repair step one: remove 14 screws, three hidden under rubber feet, one under a sticker that says 'warranty void if removed.' The FTC has warned companies those stickers likely break US warranty law. What do you think? #righttorepair

Colorado Sees First Lawsuit Under ‘Right To Repair’ Law
At this point all fifty states have considered passing "right to repair" law aimed at making it easier and cheaper for consumers (and independent repair shops) to repair their tech. That said, only Massachusetts, New York, Texas, Minnesota, Colorado, California, Oregon, and Washington have actually passed laws. And of those states, none have seen any...

Happy International Repair day!

Let's remember that having the #RightToRepair your equipment, electronics, car, house, etc frees you from corporate greed.

On this day, I like to look back at the previous year of what all I have saved, restored, repaired, and discarded.
