Nintendo Switch 2 overhaul could bring a removable battery — new revision aims to comply with the EU's Right to Repair regulations
Your Phone is an Entire Computer
If its not there already, cars need an open standard to remotely control and monitor functions. That way other apps could be built to replace features lost when the proprietary apps are retired. For example, I can still use bluetooth in my 10+ year old car to stream audio to the vehicle's speakers from any smartphone.

Video - Cuba: Technological Disobedience
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/43790601 [https://lemmy.ml/post/43790601] > alternate title I saw on YouTube - “Invent and resolve”: How Cuba’s survived six decades of US blockade > > Feb. 25, 2026 > > >In US-blockaded Cuba, ingenious mechanics and inventors revive old machines in order to survive during a time of scarcity. > > >When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Cuba was plunged into crisis. Fuel, food and spare parts vanished almost overnight. This character-led documentary shows how common Cubans refused to give up – and instead built a new culture of radical repair. From Havana’s Malecon to small-town back yards, it follows mechanics, street vendors and a teacher-turned-inventor who live by one rule: “invent and resolve”. > > >A pristine US Plymouth Fury convertible of the 1950s hides a Soviet engine, Japanese gearbox and handmade parts; washing machines become coconut graters, solar dryers and tools for urban farms. Cuban historians and designer Ernesto Oroza reveal the philosophy behind this “technical disobedience”, treating every object as raw material to hack and extend. Far from nostalgia, the film offers a stark snapshot of a future in which resources are scarce and the power to repair may be our most important tool. > > #news #politics
