I swear, every city needs a medina, a cheap mixed-use neighborhood where people can open tiny 2m × 2m shops that specialize in fixing zippers. Or sharpening kitchen knives. Or replacing shoe heels. You can get those services now, of course, but only at ruinous cost, because every shop has to pay thousands of dollars a month in rent on a high street. More tiny kiosks on narrow streets, sez I.

@syntaxseed The EU seems to be working towards forcing #repairability of these kinds of products. I am careful optimistic about that. And I hope that trend will make it out globally too.

#Fairphone|s are not supposed to be waterproof (because #repairability requires to not seal the device with glue I guess?).

Yet, yesterday I accidentally dropped my @Fairphone 6 into 40cm deep water, then noticed I lost it, called it (it rang!) and pulled it out a few minutes later.

I was able to unlock and switch off the device, picked up a screw driver and took it apart (which is easy). Turns out only minimal amounts of humidity had entered through the SIM card slot & speaker. 💦 ♥️

♻️🇪🇺 Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory starting in 2027

｢ Starting February 18, 2027, new smartphones and tablets must be designed so that end users can remove and replace the battery themselves using standard tools. Adhesive bonds that require heat to be removed will then be largely prohibited. ｣

Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory starting in 2027!

These are great news, especially considering it won't be practical for most companies to build an EU-only version of mass-produced electronics like phones

Two cracked panes in the greenhouse roof just repaired with Loctite Superglue Glass left over from another project. Will they hold? Watch this space.

I love the repairability of these old greenhouses (this one's a Halls Europa, circa 1970). The perishable parts are replaceable and still available. It'll be the rubber gaskets next.

I realise that since they started getting connectivity they became risky devices to have in the home, but the design of the iRobot Roomba for repairability is fantastic. I just swapped out some sensors on my 650 (released 2012) with nothing but a screwdriver and a spudger.
