New #EU #energy stickers on a #Blackview rugged Android #mobile #phone showing #durability, #repairability, battery charge cycles and IP (protection against external envionment) rating

I'd agree with the ratings as these are purchased by my employers specifically for their ruggedness (they are issued to frontline staff using specialist apps for health and social care) and I've even seen spare parts including LCD screens readily available on Amazon and EBay, but its the first time I've seen one of these stickers (must be some new initiative)

Found this old "Retro Battlestation".

Look at all the ports! (Even mini 1394!) SD reader, DVD burner and Serial DB-9, VGA, full-size DisplayPort.

Tooless access to all components! 🤩

It also weighs like 8 Kg. 🫠

Hi. I'm Jeremy. 👋🥴

I'm choosing #people over #technology interested in #retrotech #repairability #electronics #analog #selfhosting #linux #indieweb #community building simple machines that can be understood and fixed things we as people can make and share ourselves not into new tech anymore or big tech at all let's see

The OnePlus 15R scored 8.5/10 for repairability 🔧 — but what makes it easier to fix than most phones? From standard screws to pull-tab batteries, there are smart choices inside. But the glass back and display? That's another story 📱 Read the article to learn what this teardown reveals about long-term ownership.

How Electric Vehicle Design and Repair Restrictions Create Waste and Monopolies

The article examines the rising problem of unrepaired and prematurely scrapped electric vehicles due to exorbitant replacement part prices and restrictive manufacturer policies. 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...

#BuyIrForLife #repairability

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...
