#antirepairdesign
@mshelton or better: Look at your #IT #Refurbisher...
Chances are they have a ton of cheap #Lazer multifunction units for less than a full pack of #Ink needed to scan (!!!) with those shitty #Inkjet machines.

Also don't just ditch #hp for printers, but also #PCs and #Laptops, because their #ProBook series of machines do #VendorLocking of #RAM and will refuse to boot without manually confirming by pressing F1 on the devices' keyboard every single bootup (!!!), bricking #PXE-Boot & #WakeOnLAN / #WoL in the process just to #FUD #customers and #IntependentRepair service providers!
The problem is in #IT that #WhatWeAllowIsWhatWillContinue and we allowed Corporations like #Apple to sprearhead the #Enshittification with #GluedInBatteries, #SolderedDownRAM, #SolderedDownSSDs and #AntiRepairDesign!
The only winning move is to refuse to buy such shit!!
Get a @frameworkcomputer and a @fairphone / #Fairphone if #BuyUsed & #UseLonger isn't an option, because in #capitalism, your reciept is your vote - EVERY SINGLE TIME!
@[email protected] #WhatsMissing: An #OpenSource #Printer Design that can do if not #LED / "#Laser" at least #Inkjet with COTS gylcol-based #ink that doesn't dry up. After all, there are tons of #OpenSourced #3Dprinters on the market, so doing #2Dprinter shoudln't be that hard... All it needs to to is spit #PDF|s on paper! The only reason I still use my #Deskjet6122 is because it refuses to die, it works flawless on #Linux and both ink and 3rd party cartridges are so cheap, it's not worth biting the bullet and buy a chonky Xerox multifunction lazer because it would've to also replace the #OfficejetJ4150 that I still use for scanning... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHX6tHdQGiQ #ItAintBrokeDontReplaceIt #UseLonger #Printers #2Dprinting #Printing #RightToRepair #Reuse
@landley Not every device tho:
#Fairphone does exist and you can toolfree remove and swap their batteries to this day, which is why I have one.
But sadly the general trend to #Enshittification is a problem and #Apple is spearheading it with their #AntiRepairDesign!
And unlike #Microsoft tuey are competent in doing that shit...

@fasnix @necrosis Ja, bei den älteren konnte der RAM komplett getauscht werden...
Was gut isf weil der geht auch mal kaputt...
Richtig #ReducedLifecycle.ist das auflöten der #SSD - das gehört IMHO verboten weil #AntiRepairDesign!
@MattKC The only thing worse are #GluedInBatteries, #SolderedDownRAM and espechally #SolderedInSSDs...
Those three things should be illegal as #ReducedLifecycle & #AntiRepairDesign...
is a prime producer for 100% avoidable #eWaste and it's even worse than #Apple's #AntiRepairDesign cuz those have 0 salvageable components that could be taken to #repair nor could they be #reused differently and all they do when #UseLonger is being done is turn electricity into hot air...This aged poorly amidst #Apple's #AntiRepairDesign...
Remember whan #Laptops had #tolfree #swappable #Batteries and fully-removeable and swappable #RAM and #SSD|s?
Cuz I do and I don't compromize on those!

@marcan The point is to raise #Awareness of #Apple's #AntiRepairDesign so consumers who used to buy a #MacBook once a decade and then upgrade it's #RAM and #SSD over time or think about replacing their aging MacBooks with something else.
Cuz I'm shure some folks have already #Hackintosh'd a #FrameworkLaptop by this point...
Even if that doesn't come close to the battery runtime of a #AppleSilicon MacBook...
