HP van BraamI got to handle a @mntmn reform at #fosdem2026 it's a really nice machine to handle!
Better than the website makes it out to be; check out their store! https://mnt.re/
KerplunkEvery device advertised with "#AI" od having a "#CopilotKey" gets instantly put on the "never ever buy!"-List…
You know what I want instead?
#Linux support - and I mean fully!
#Keyboards with
#Trackpoints!
#RepairableTech
instead of AntiRepairDesign!
Me too
Which is why I have a second hand business think pad, I5 processor 8GB Ram, antiX linux great performance.
And tough.
Loke ManiI'm very happy that Bosh actually agreed to send me a replacement mixer attachment (for free no less) instead of forcing me to return/throw the whole kitchen machine out. And then I realised the bar is in fucking hell for that to not be obvious. Still, props to Bosh for doing the thing 👏

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...

Apple's storage pricing is INSANE! Do this instead.
Morgan ⚧️#framework users, especially early adopters: how much money have you spent on replacement parts, in how much time?
Please no hyping up the brand and trying to convince people to buy things in this thread (and also no harassing anyone for buying stuff! that'll bias my sample towards underconsumers and I love underconsumption but I want more information than that!)
I just want to talk numbers!
Yes, we need #RepairableTech and espechally #ReliableTech as in "It doesn't break" and it's really infuriating how modern staff is way "crappier" and "worse" than it's price (adjusted for inflation) would make it justifyable...
But then again I'm also not the guy buying the latest shit off the Internet or the latest fashion.
- All I care about is that something does it's job first and foremost!
Planned Obsolescence Will Kill Us All
@JessTheUnstill @GreenRoc Personally I wish for #RightToRepair to be mandated including access to #schematics, #parts, #firmware and #tools needed so #manufacturers would be forced to actually give a shit and build #RepairableTech...
- Then again the #PerverseIncentives of #capitalism punish #HonestMerchants and #RepairableDesign because manufacturers don't give a shit about supporting their devices and work against their interests of the buyers!
Remember: Most folks are mere #consumers, not #owners and espechally not #tinkerers!
- THIS is why #RaspberryPi were able to basically monopolize the #ARM - #SBC market for tinkerers because they are the only one's that actually build devices that just work out of the box and have #documentation, whereas all the competitors just fart out some PCBs and some hacked-up images and then tell people to 'go fuck themselves' when they don't want to just buy but do something with it!

And then you complain about it and some replyguys show up with a WeLl AkShUlLy you can build it yourself by taking this microcontroller and loading this specific software, and soldering it together with these various components and 3d printing a case and oh but the out of the box OS doesn't work right so you have to change these configuration and tweak the driver settings and ... @[email protected] @[email protected]
@iodetech_de wär' nur cool wenns auch #RepairableTech damit gäbe.
- Oder ist #iodeOS auch nur nen #GrapheneOS-#reskin?
iFixitThe HMD Fusion is full of possibilities.
It can be a barcode scanner, mobile gaming console, workhorse, or minimalist daily driver; just by swapping the back. And if HMD hasn’t made the outfit you need? They provide the resources to make your own. This is what mass customization looks like!
Add in an IP54 rating, easily repairable design, and a starting price under $300? Yeah. We’re impressed.
