The Fairbuds XL just became the first headphones to earn a 10/10 repairability score on our new headphone scorecard! Replaceable battery. Replaceable ear pads. Modular design. Actual repair manuals. This is what headphones look like when they’re built to last instead of built for the landfill.

Some devices aren’t hard to repair by accident—they’re built that way. These design choices block access, add risk, and push you toward replacement instead of repair. That’s not innovation. That's planned obsolescence.

Which one annoys you the most?

I found an @iFixit guide to replace the battery in my partner's headphones. However, I am wondering if I can source a Marshall Major IV compatible battery from somewhere other than Amazon. Any recommendations for UK stockists? https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Marshall+MID+bluetooth+Headphones+Battery+Replacement/168530 #iFixit #RightoRepair #FixTheWorld

I'm volunteering at a local repair café at my local library this weekend. If you have the capability (time+energy+skills), I strongly encourage participating! It's a great way to meet neighbors for the first time, give back to your community, and poke at things you've never seen before.

I've been doing PC/laptop repair for... longer than I want to admit. Many pieces of my kit come from @iFixit (https://www.ifixit.com/Tools), and they're often the first place I'll check for weird tools for small electronics. I've also picked up a couple of their Minnow driver kits to keep in my bag and car, just in case.

Modular parts, no glued-on battery, and day-one manuals? We had our fun, but the truth is that Apple's MacBook Neo takes several steps in the right direction when it comes to repairability.

Find out what else makes the MacBook Neo one of the most repairable MacBooks ever at the link below.

Apple has issued an emergency recall for the new Neo laptop after discovering a critical design flaw: it’s repairable.

Internal testing revealed the device contains replaceable parts and a battery that comes out without adhesive. Unacceptable for their standards.

Impressive display. Awful repair. Same old Samsung. The Galaxy S26 Ultra teardown is a story of great ideas and rough execution.

Before the Switch 2, before online battles, there was this brick. We cracked open an OG Game Boy and gave the internals the glow-up they deserve. Old hardware. New life.

Obsolete? Not these printers! The Prusa MK2 is nine years old, but you can still upgrade it through three generations of printers.

BMW’s latest “innovation” isn’t about performance or safety. It’s a logo-shaped screw designed to keep owners out of their own cars. We dug into the patent, the intent behind it, and why Adafruit is already working on a custom bit to undo BMW’s attempt to block repair. Learn more at the link below.

The IBM PC’s open-architecture design didn’t just make repairs easy—it set the standard for every PC that followed. Its modular layout laid the groundwork for the motherboard form factors and expansion slots we still use today.
