@sawaba @pluralistic @iFixit this is a problem and the while #Greedflation and #AIbubble needs to be stopped and burst right now.

Also #AntiRepairDesign like #SolderedDownRAM and #SolderedDownSSD|s needs to be outlawed as an #EnvoirmentalCrime by regulators like @EUCommission like non-#USBc phones and included chargers are in the #EU!

@alcea My problem is more with #AntiRepairDesign and #garbage quality.

You'd have a different experience with like a #ThinkCentre / #ThinkStationTiny instead if a cheap shitbox.

#Laptops without toolfree, hot-swapable batteries are a #WontBuy…

@Ninji +9001%

Every device advertised with "#AI" od having a "#CopilotKey" gets instantly put on the "never ever buy!"-List…

You know what I want instead?

#Linux support - and I mean fully!
#Keyboards with #Trackpoints!
#RepariableTech instead of #AntiRepairDesign!

@BrideOfLinux which makes sense, cuz I remember #Mandrake & #Mandriva as being nice...

And yes @e_mydata / #eOS is good.

Because unlike #GrapheneOS they don't shackle themselves to #AntiRepairDesign - #Tech!

Now if #Fairphone gives me a real #DualSIM phone then I'd consider upgrading from my #Fairphone3Plus…

As much as I still despise #Apple's #AntiRepairDesign and #SolderedDownRAM which has no legitimate excuse, the #MacMiniM4 at least doesn't have #SolderedDownSSDs anymore so #Upgrades and #Repair on that part that WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME AND USE is getting cheaper.

So based off @fuchsiii 's own experience I can second @geerlingguy 's recommendation for these #aftermarket #SSDs...

#SolderedDownSSD #SSD #MacMini #M4 #AppleSilicon #RightToRepair #Repairability #RepairableTech #RepairableDesign

Apple's storage pricing is INSANE! Do this instead.

@OhMyGod @bsi @BNetzA @BMWK @EUCommission @digitalcourage ja, weil under #ARM64-Mobilgeräten kein standarditisierter Hartdwaretree vorliegt und alle #Integratoren und #SoC-Vendoren irgendwelche shice zusammenkoksen!

Mit #AMD64 ist das Hardwareproblem gelöst und #ARM könnte es auch wenn,#UEFI oder zumindest #LinuxBoot genutzt würde und brauchbare #Treiber vorhanden wären!

Ich bin ja für #RightToRepair, #RightToAPI, Verbot.von #Digitalzwang und #Supportpflicht für Hersteller samt Zwangs-#OpenSource-Lizensierung nach #Supportende!

Gerade die Masse an 100% vermeidbaren #Elektroschrott infolge von #AntiRepairDesign ist absolut inakzeptabel!

@vfrmedia @tikibunnyimports granted #KeiCar manufacturers in #Japan know that #AntiRepairDesign will harm them espechally (ut not only!) domestically even if they didn't gave a shit about #tuning or the entire #Itasha scene...

@heiseonline ja, weil es #Greenwashing ist mit einer nicht-einheimischen Pflanze.

#Apple könnte durch #Repairability statt #AntiRepairDesign weit mehr für die #Umwelt leisten!

@Okanogen my only gripe is #AntiRepairDesign & #AntiRepairDRM with *obviously spiteful decisions by the folks who created something to make repairs artifically complex and error-prone and thus risky as well as costly.

Shit like #SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownSSDs for example should be outlawed for anything that isn't some space-faring, to-be-implanted and/or explosive atmosphere - certified device which have "legitimate reasons" to do something like that.
