Took quite a while, but @mkbhd has at last reviewed a @frameworkcomputer laptop! https://youtu.be/_xjxwl1zLMc
I'm so happy to see #linux-first, #repairable tech getting more and more of the limelight. Hope that webcam issue is addressed soon, since otherwise this looks like a stellar product!

Demand Is Booming for New #NoTech, #Repairable #Tractor
"There is consumer pressure to back away from technology that is unnecessary to perform everyday tasks."
by Jason Koebler
Jun 3, 2026"The secondary market for decades old, low-tech #JohnDeereTractors has been booming for years as farmers have sought reliable tractors that they can actually fix without having to deal with John Deere’s repair monopoly. A Canadian company has seen that demand and came up with a radical thought: What if they made a new, repairable, 'no-tech' tractor to solve what has become a gigantic pain point for farmers?
"Alberta’s #UrsaAg says that it has been inundated with demand after announcing its tractor, which costs roughly half as much as a Deere and has the benefit of not being a repair nightmare. We have for years covered the frustration that farmers have felt as they have been locked out of their Deere tractors with digital rights management systems that prevent them from fixing their machinery, tractors that won’t run because of minor sensor failures, and crops that literally die on the vine as they wait for an 'authorized' repair person to fix tractors during critical harvesting periods.
"Ursa Ag markets its tractors as '#NoFrills' and 'built to last.' Ursa Ag’s Doug Wilson told me that the company designed the tractor because of a need in the marketplace for a new machine that isn’t loaded with tech and is easy to maintain. The company follows in the footsteps of consumer electronics companies like #Fairphone, which makes a repairable smartphone and #Framework, which makes modular, repairable #laptops. The demand Ursa Ag has seen is part of the backlash to manufacturer repair #monopolies and the injection of #technology and #InternetConnectedSensors and terms of use into even the most basic of gadgets.
" 'I talk to farmers every day and I hear from farmers every day about how they went out and bought machinery from 1987 so that it wouldn’t have a computer on it,' Wilson said. 'All of this came from a simple discussion with a customer who wanted to be able to turn [the tractor] on at the start of the day, to use it, and shut it off at the end of the day. It needed to work, so that’s what we built.'
"Ursa Ag’s tractor has been hyped in agriculture circles after Wilson showed the tractor off at a Canadian farm show and it was featured by Farms.com. Wilson said more than a thousand farmers have contacted him after that show, from roughly 30 countries. 'I got a handwritten letter from a farmer in France who doesn’t own a computer and wanted us to mail him information about the tractors,' he said."

#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 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.

🎉 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. 😂

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.

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 […]

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

Fairphone 5 is a repairable €699 smartphone with 8 years of software updates
Fairphone is a Dutch smartphone company that does things a little differently than most. When the company first launched a decade ago, the emphasis was primarily on the use of ethically-sourced materials, but since then Fairphone has added a focus on sustainability.
Recent phones have had modular, repairable designs, and Fairphone sells spare parts for components that are most likely to need […]
