  1. Any recommendations for a good open #ebookreader? I have an oldish Kindle Paperwhite (from 2018) and it's software updates are a shining example of #enshitificaton and #plannedobsolesence. The interface is getting worse and I have less control over it then I did when I bought it. It is also annoyingly sluggish now (I assume newer models are fare better).

  5. Yesterday's loot from the recycling yard. Two games for #PS2 and one for the #NintendoWii.
    Plus a fully functioning BenQ beamer with HDMI input (so it's probably not that old).

  13. Left: toothbrush of The Humble Co., Material: 100% plant based, exchangable head
    Use: 2 months continously twice per day (about 120 uses total till product end life of the exchangable part)

    Right: Random children's toothbrush
    Material: 100% virgin plastic
    Use: 1 month, every other day approx., once a day (about 15 uses total until end life)

    If the #EU can ban plastic straws, it also can ban sh💩t like these plastic toothbrushes. When will there finally be strict regulation on #plannedobsolesence?

  17. Well, it's the motherload!🤯​
    It's been a while since I got lucky at the recycling yard, but today was great!🙂​
    So far I see an #XBox360 with games a #NintendoWii game and some #PS2 games. Oh and some UMDs as well.

  22. I just finished making two broken vacuum cleaners into a working one.
    One had a broken motor the other a faulty cable drum.
    And how is your weekend going?

  27. I'm embarking on an electronic adventure. Probably will fail but won't know until I try. Trying to fix my Sony WI-100 Bluetooth earphones. One bud disconnects intermittently so I assume a wire is loose. Should an easy repair right? If you have any tips let me know 😊 #plannedobsolesence #diyelectronics #repair #CircularEcnomy #askfedi

  30. @LouisePryor I know the feeling! Our washer is having trouble turning heavy loads, after 23 years of flawless service. Since it's so old, getting replacement parts to have it repaired may be challenging, although it's so old-school mechanical (no fancy electronic panel, just knobs) that you'd think it would be pretty easy... #righttorepair #plannedobsolesence

  32. In the "Planned obsolescence is real" category. T/S my dead pen display last night found that a $0.20 dc-dc switching regulator failed and took out the board. This part is under rated for the current demand and will always fail with time. Cost of the right part is less than the incorrect one at $0.17. so its not about the cost of doing it right. Of course MFG does not sell the board that failed. #RightToRepair

  36. The second #PS4 that I took in from the recycling yard last Saturday is working perfectly.
    No repairs needed, just cleaned it.
    Case had some cracks that I glued and are currently curing.
    Seriously, what is wrong with people?
