Discover how seniors in Kamisu City are refurbishing furniture, tackling waste, and inspiring social entrepreneurship for aspiring business owners.
Ich habe letzte Woche zwei alte, ausgemusterte #UniFi AP AC Pro WiFi-APs erhalten, deren ekelhaft klebrige Soft Touch-Oberflächen jede Menge Schmutz angenommen hatten. 🤢
Zwei alte Stofffetzen, eine nicht unerhebliche Menge Isopropanol, moderate Muskelkraft und vielleicht 20 bis 30 min investierte Lebenszeit später und die Teile sehen besser aus als neu. 🤩
Finally completed my $10 SNES console refurbishment. Changed our the broken power port and just did a clear case swap.

#refurbishing
Hey #Freiburg-Bubble, hat jemand unter euch Erfahrungen mit dem Unternehmen "re:source remarketing" (https://rresource.de/) gesammelt und möchte diese mit mir teilen?
Seriously, #Apple preventing people and businesses from #refurbishing should be illegal!

And I sincerely hope both @EU_Commission and @Bundesverband will actively go after manufacturers that want to deny people their freedom to actually own their devices as per "1st sale doctrine".
Like it's none of Apple's business if someone chose to get a #refurbished display unless they want to fraudulently sell it as a new device and not a replacement - but that's already covered with fraud.

I'll truly miss this wholly self designed kitchen when we move!.. It was wonderful to see my design come together, a heartache to see it get damaged in the fire but great incorporating the burned wood in to a unique finished design when I refurbished it after the fire.. :)

This is more a fixing f *d up s*t back up blog post, rather than materializing inspiration, though admittedly there was a smidgen of creativity involved.. Let's cut to the chase, I had a senior moment, forgot some heating oil on the stove, and burnt my kitchen (the stove area) back in March.. I had completely designed and overseen the construction of this whole kitchen, from scratch, myself, before we moved in, so this was a lil more than a punch in the stomach. However after some 6 months of working on it about an hour, sometimes a few, a day, it is now finally restored.. :)
I bought a refurbished #Lenovo X1 Carbon with a repainted keyboard. Not only did it have a weird rough texture, but the paint came off when I scratched it.
I believe the #refurbishing partner was #T1A, and as much as I love the idea of these corporate laptops having a second and even third life, this is not how you do it. The store took it back, no questions asked. Clearly they agreed with me.
The placement of the serial number sticker should also have triggered an early big fat red flag.
@marcan And whilst one can argue that RAM & SoC won't wear out to the point they need replacing, #SSDs will INEVITABLY FAIL OVER USE AND TIME!
Removing the ability to boot from an external drive if the internal one is broken is just #PlannedObsolescence & #AntiRepairDesign to prevent people from #UseLonger and #Repair as well as #Refurbishing #Apple's devices.
The "#Security" Argument is complete #FUD since by the point the SSD is so dead, no data can be recovered from it without a lab anyway.
@verge not really...
#Apple's #AntiRepairDesign turns their #envoirmentalism into #VirtueSignalling without being actually envoirmentally friendly...
At least all the others haven't implemented #AntiPrepair-#DRM AND refuse to sell original #parts that just work!
Apple literally prevents people from #repairing and thus #reusing their devices or even #upcylcing and #refurbishing devices for no good reason!
Compared to @frameworkcomputer and @Fairphone #Apple is just inexcuseably bad!
