EU Exempts Apple Watch and AirPods [and iPhone] From Battery Removal Requirement [due to water resistance & safety]
The “right to repair” folk will be upset, but here’s a further thought:
If “water resistance” is legitimate grounds to sidestep “right to repair”, perhaps “hacker & abuse resistance” can be valid grounds to sidestep “interoperability”?

My Shokz OpenRun Pro's are failing, specifically the power/volume+ button. Which apparently is a very well-known issue, due to a small plastic tube below the button that's failing after a while.
Turns out that even though this is a common and well-known issue, Shokz have stuck to the same setup for their subsequent models. So at this point, they just seem to be designed to fail. And of course you can’t repair them.
So I'm looking for a new pair of bone conducting headphones that are not Shokz. Because fuck them.

Die kleine Siebträgermaschine von Sage funktioniert wieder. Am Ende musste die komplette Elektronik getauscht werden, da vom Hersteller kein Schaltbild des PCB zu bekommen ist. So wird dann die Reparatur ein ganzes Stück teurer.

Never take broken for an answer! Bei unseren Gartenstühlen ist das mit dem Right to Repair aber auch echt ziemlich einfach: Halteseil wegen Verwitterung gerissen, im Baumarkt neues Seil gekauft und mal eben eingezogen. Hält wieder ein paar Jahre. #righttorepair #diy #garten

From #LouisRossmann, for anyone concerned with #surveillance and #faceRecognition:
The image recognition component of #Google #Gemini insists that multiple contemporary photos of American repair technician and #rightToRepair advocate Steven Rhine are definitely photos of an (obviously long-dead) #Sep11 hijacker.
As is said in the video, “what the #flock!”
(Yes, it’s a different image matching program returning a false positive, but Flock warrants becoming a curse.)

Soderle, Relais bestellt, Ersatz-Typ, kommt hoffentlich bis Mitte der Woche, inkl. Versand für 6,74 Euro.
Das verbaute Relais ist leider vergossen und somit nicht zu reinigen.

Great news for #RIGHTTOREPAIR! Consumers have successfully won the right to fix their own (often hugely expensive) #JohnDeere equipment. For decades, Deere has held an IRON GRIP on repair and modification of farm equipment, equating owners attempting to tweak, repair or reverse-engineer products THEY OWN to hacking or piracy.

2 Relais = 12 Euro bei Amazon - wären bis DIenstag da. Alles andere und günstigere, ob Ebay oder Amazon, kommt erst Ende Juli - Anfang August, weil aus China.
Und dann ist da noch Conrad, wo 1 Relais günstige 2,51 Euro kosten soll, aber mit Versand dann 12,39 Euro kostet, und damit teurer als 2 Stück bei Amazon ist.

Wenn über ein Relais, bzw. einen Kontakt desselben, von 12 V gleich mal knapp 1 V abfallen, dann ist das der Grund, warum die kleine Kühlbox nicht mehr so gut kühlt wie früher.
Dann wollen wir das Relais mal auslöten, prüfen ob es zu reinigen ist, und ansonsten ein neues bestellen.#DIY #Reparatur #ReparierEcke #rechtaufreparatur #righttorepair #repair

Mein Toaster! Ihr könnt mit Sachen, die kaputt sind, auch ins #RepairCafe gehen, statt sie wegzuwerfen. Dort sind liebe Menschen, die nur auf Herausforderungen warten, und ganz viele Gegenstände wieder zum Leben erwecken können.

The #FTCSettlement With #JohnDeere Is a Huge Win for the #RightToRepair Movement
After more than a decade of pushback, farmers and repair advocates have won access to equipment and services John Deere had long kept under its control.
Boone Ashworth, Jul 8, 2026
"On Wednesday, the US Federal Trade Commission announced a settlement with tractor manufacturer John Deere over a 2025 lawsuit that accused the company of behavior that 'unlawfully acquired and maintained #monopoly power in markets for repair services for Deere #FarmEquipment.'
"The full statement lays out obligations for John Deere’s repair services, requiring the company to give farmers and third-party repair shops access to the same equipment and repair resources it provides to official John Deere dealers. This includes software capabilities, such as reading and resetting codes and pairing with other software, which customers have long had limited access to, creating delays when diagnosing equipment problems. Delayed fixes can mean delayed harvests, which many farmers saw as a fundamental threat to their livelihoods.
Under the agreement, John Deere will be required to provide this level of access, equipment, and services for the next 10 years, monitored by the FTC.
" 'After years of fighting for the right to repair, this order gives farmers real hope,' #WillieCade, a board member of the repair advocacy organization Repair.org, wrote in an email to WIRED. 'But promises on paper must become tools in farmers’ hands, and we will be watching implementation every step of the way.' "
