New push for #RightToRepair in #Maine aims to cut costs, reduce #ElectronicWaste

Vivien Leigh, August 13, 2026

"Advocates, lawmakers, and business owners have started a renewed push to help #Mainers fix #phones, #laptops, and other small #electronics more easily.

"Supporters set up a mock electronic-waste graveyard on Thursday to underscore the need for 'Right to Repair' reforms.

"Sheldon Arford owns Maine Computer Services, an independent repair shop. He showed nearly six computers that still work but are on their way to the recycling bin.

" 'They can't take the current version of Windows, and #Windows10 no longer gets security updates,' Arford explained. [Um, Sheldon, have you heard of #Linux ?]

"The business owner joined advocates and lawmakers for a mock memorial service focused on electronics that stopped working after their software expired, such as Windows 10 computers, #vacuums, #VideoGames, and over a dozen #Kindle models."

Dyson V10 Konical Review (2026): Affordable and Solid

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wired.com/review/dyson-v10-konical-2026/

The base for this robo-vacuum has been acting oddly. I keep it plugged into the lower socket. Sometimes every few weeks it'll randomly shutoff. I unplug and replug it, it powers on for a few seconds, after which it'll either stay on or it might shut off again. If I move it to the upper socket, it powers on and stays on everytime. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the base or with the socket?

Eventually after some time the problem just resolves itself on its own somehow when I'm not watching.

The outlet's switch in the breaker box isn't being flipped when this happens. #electrical #vacuums #tech

Man accidentally gains control of 7,000 #robotvacuums
Sammy Azdoufal wanted to steer his #DJI Romo with a controller. Building his app, he used an AI coding assistant to help reverse-engineer how robot communicated with DJI’s cloud. But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his own device also provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio, maps, and status data from nearly 7,000 other #vacuums across 24 countries.
