#repairable — Public Fediverse posts

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 […]

@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.

Next month, Google is going to make some Nest thermostats not-so-smart.

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.

Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US)

The Framework Laptop 12 is a modular, repairable, and upgradeable notebook computer that represents several firsts for Framework. It’s the company’s first laptop with a screen smaller than 13.5 inches. It’s the first with a touchscreen display and support for a pressure-sensitive style. It’s the first with a 360-degree hinge that lets you switch between laptop, tablet, tent, and stand modes. […]

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?

HMD Skyline is a $499 smartphone with a replaceable battery, repairable design, and a 144 Hz display

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 […]

Framework’s modular laptops (and mainboards) now come with Meteor Lake-H options

The Framework Laptop 13 is a modular, repairable, and upgradeable laptop that first debuted in 2021 with 11th-gen Intel Core processor. But Framework has launched several upgrades since then, allowing customers to either buy a new laptop with a faster Intel or AMD processor or purchase a new mainboard to upgrade the processor in their existing laptop.

Now Framework is doing it again. The […]

After almost 9 years, our home #laptop is good for nothing but the recycle bin.

What are sustainable solutions for personal laptops?

#Repairable, #upgradable, socially responsible, made from #recycled material, hopefully conflict-free #electronics.... all of it.

Like my #FairPhone (or better) but a laptop. Help me #fediverse please.

#RightToRepair #sustainableIT

Dear #lazyweb, I have a really nice mobile workstation that I love but I'd like a #laptop that I can just throw in my bag more easily than my 17" monster. I used to have a #lenovo #x230 that I think is basically the ideal form factor with a really good keyboard.

Does a anyone still make a laptop that is #upgradable and #repairable and has good specs? The small laptops I've seen are all pretty much garbage, performance wise. I want at least 32gb of ram, and ideally 2 PCIe m.2 slots.

Thanks! ♥️

Another example for why it's good to be able to take your phone apart (and put it back together again) by yourself:

Earlier this week I dropped my phone into shallow water in the bathroom, with the lower end with the carging socket and the mircophone and speaker openings going under water. I immediately pulled it out, clipped off the back cover and removed the battery.

As I dried it on the outside, I could see more water coming out of the socket and from under the display. 😱 So I unscrewed the phone's body. I could see that there was water between the modules of the lower end, so I unscrewed and removed the microphone and speaker modules.

I carefully dried and cleaned the parts as much as I could. I left everything to dry separately overnight, and after I had put it back together again the next morning, it just worked. Oh joy! :masto_love: 😎 🤩

Still disappointed that the new #fairphone5 doesn't have an #audioJack . Was there ever any discussion about it, #fairphone ? In your release you talk about users begging for #oled , but I heard a lot of people asking about the good old jack instead.

Could you reveal any numbers behind https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/9836188988049-Audio-Jack-3-5mm 's "user want thinner phones, not headphone jacks"?

The people at #Framework have created a new #laptop with a 16 inch screen. :awesome:

https://frame.work/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040

Framework produces laptops that are #modular, easily #repairable and #configurable. Just imagine: you can even decide on which side the charging port should go - just by switching out a module. Crazy I know.

With their new model, they are also partnering with #AMD.

If I need to buy a new laptop, this one will definitely be it.
