Drawing on data from a Croatian EV repair group, the author compares the cost of major components such as batteries, motor... [More info]
Years ago I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 headphones.
Reasonably priced (I didn't say cheap), for studio headphones, comfortable, great clean sound.
Last year the ear pads wore out to the point of discomfort. Oh no, now what? I ordered a replacement pair for a reasonable price and changed them myself.
Now the headband started disintegrating and flaking. Oh no, now what? I ordered a replacement one and will replace it myself.
I wish I had more stuff like this...
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.

@vfrmedia @tikibunnyimports nodds in agreement
To me EVERY SINGLE #BEV seems like a severe #regression in terms of #repairability and #serviceability compared to my #CorsaD with it's I-3 GM ECOTEC engine...
#Regulation is overdue!
The USB-C port on my FairPhone 4 finally failed completely this morning, leaving the phone with zero charge and unable to turn on. So, I pulled out a replacement USB-C port that I purchased previously for $20, unscrewed the old one and popped in the new one, and it's as good as new. Thank you FairPhone!
