#repairable — Public Fediverse posts

🎉 Are we supposed to be amazed that #Framework is still begging for applause with their "repairable" laptops? 🤔 Congratulations on announcing new "major upgrades" with weak hinges and crummy speakers—truly revolutionary! 🏆

Modular, repairable PC maker Framework is holding an event April 21 to introduce new gear. The company has raised prices several times recently due to rising RAM & storage prices, but stays committed to personal computing, with hints of something Linux-related coming soon. https://frame.work/blog/framework-next-gen-event-is-live-on-april-21 #Framework #Repairable #ModularPC

#iFixIt - #MacBookNeo Is the Most #Repairable MacBook in 14 Years

by Elizabeth Chamberlain, with
Shahram Mokhtari and Carsten Frauenheim, March 13, 2026

"Is Apple’s most affordable laptop ever also one of its most repairable? For years, opening a MacBook has usually meant fighting your way through glue and buried parts.

"But the Neo stands out, with increasingly good day-one manuals, less-painful keyboard repairs, and a screwed-in battery tray that sent cheers across the iFixit office. This laptop proves that things can be made more affordable and more repairable at the same time."

Schenker Element 16 is a “semi-modular” laptop with a repairable, customizable design

Laptops have never been as easy to upgrade or repair as desktop computers. But that’s become even more true in recent years, with most laptops now shipping without user-replaceable batteries and many using LPDDR memory that’s soldered to the mainboard instead of upgradeable SODIMM sticks.

But it is possible to make a laptop that’s repairable and upgradeable. Framework has been doing it for […]

Fixed my Roborock vacuum cleaner!

It fell down the stairs and broke a wheel mount. It was quite a job, there are roughly 1,000,000 screws. Ali Express parts all fitted and so far work. Only two issues, both are my fault: 1 left over tiny screw; I used the bumper screws somewhere else so the ones I used in the bumper cause it to jam. Will be stripping it again tomorrow most likely.

@kkarhan @pkal @ghul @landley

@kkarhan I agree that GPLv3 intentionally limits certain use and leads many corporates to avoid it for certain use cases. I will also agree that having #linux be GPLv2 is both a virtually unchangeable fact of history and probably more of a benefit than a detractor.
I clearly agree that purchasing power is something that can and should be wielded for the good of #repairable merchandise (that could be #openhardware, but also just a non-open hardware device that is however freely flashable due to the existence of mainline integration and sufficiently full source available to have acceptably complete functionality based on said released source)

However: Would you be so great to elaborate on why enforcing your rights ("beating it out of corporations in court") that are one of the central innovations and the literal backbone of open source (next to a few other things) against entities that are in many cases currently #freeloaders is losing strategy for #Opensource? Especially against entities that are effectively and only dealing in cold, hard risk management and will not act unless a sufficient risk/reward trade-off is presented to them.

@susankayequinn okay i am sorry i rephrased :D thanks for your efforts :D are there nice pictures in the book? :D yes you are right it is both important... to develop good #cheap #sustainable #repairable #durable #renewable #technology and also present it in a nice engaging way... some #nerds really fail in the later part)

This seems good!

🎉 Breaking News! Apple's new #iPhone #Air is so #thin it might float away, yet somehow it's still #repairable. 🛠️ Who knew that #Apple could make a phone both anorexic and functional? 🤔 It’s almost like they want people to keep using their products instead of buying a new one every year. 😂

This can never happen with a #HestiaPi. It's not even possible because it doesn't depend on some third party cloud service. Everything is run inside your home, and it's yours, forever. ❤️

The HestiaPi is also #repairable and #upgradable. In summary, it's better by design.

@bazzargh I wonder if Ortlieb is committed to quality and long lasting products manufacturing in a level where they'd have a network of skilled repair shops? Or if the product is designed to be repairable.

Some shoe manufacturers do that AFAIK, at least Meindl does.

I don't think any of my Ortlieb products have broken, ever, though.

The next keyboard I'm buying will be #repairable. It's ridiculous that I have to throw out this keyboard now, when one key is broken.

Fairphone (Gen. 6) is a thinner, lighter repairable phone with a modular design

Dutch phone maker Fairphone is now taking orders for the Fairphone (Gen. 6), the company’s latest phone with a focus on sustainability. It has a modular design that makes it easy to repair and comes with a 5-year warranty and a promise of software updates for at least 8 years.

With a €599 price tag, the phone isn’t exactly cheap for a phone with mostly mid-range features. But it has some […]

The Fairphone 6 is expected to launch this month. The latest repairable phone has a modular design that lets you replace the battery, camera, speakers, and other parts. Expect 8GB RAM and 256GB storage and dual rear cameras. https://winfuture.de/news,151402.html #Fairphone6 #Fairphone #Smartphones #Repairable

Pretty cool. My current Oral B electric toothbrush has a broken battery cap, and luckily I found a replacement design on Thingiverse instead of needing to but a new toothbrush. This should be normalized.

@wild1145 @frameworkcomputer I've had a #framework13 for a couple of years now and I love it. The one problem I have with it is that it needs additional cooling when under any form of load. I'm told that the #Framework16 has the same issue. #Repairable

I have a couple of Nokia phones (the Chinese firm that bought the name sadly) with a cracked screen, does anyone know any #repairable and #substainable phone company that would be happy to trade or buy parts of them even though it may not be the same makes?

The HMD Skyline is a new smartphone that, as expected, brings back the classic Nokia “Fabula” design featuring a display by making the colorful bezels around the display a feature rather than something to be hidden.
But that’s not the only throwback feature in this smartphone. It’s also designed to be easy to open up, making it easier to […]

I want shit to be #repairable and I take pride in #UseLonger and #Upcycle...

And it's saddening that @Fairphone is an #exception rather than the norm.

But maybe I'm one of those checked-out millenials that refuses to "upgrade" to non-toolfree removeable & upgradeable batteries and non-fully replaceable RAM and SSD and who would use an Iridium 9575 PTT as daily driver if that wasn't paywalled at like €1,5k + € 50 p.m. just to do so.
