What is commonly referred to as #repairability actually refers to (parts) #replaceability: you can disassemble a device and replace it's parts.
For consumer electronics the built-in parts are complex, expensive, and not necessarily widely available, so that repairing in the same sense as you would repair a, say, broken cylinder head in your car engine, is simply impossible. For instance, the camera of a Fairphone 5, with a repairability score of 10, would cost you > 10% of the phone itself...
@marcan I do hope @EU_Commission makes #replaceability of #SSDs and #Batteries - the latter one #ToolFree - mandatory sooner than later...
After all, I got a VAIO #P11Z and that thing had a #ToolfreeeSwappable Battery back then already, so it's not as if that's "impossible" for #Apple to do - they just chose to artifically go with #ReducedLifecycle and turn their #envoirmentalism in meaningless "Virtue Signalling" and pure Marketing Lies...
@[email protected] Your argument is for not soldering down SSDs, not for having a separate flash. Apple machines *do* have a separate flash for the bootloader, it just can't boot from anything but internal storage for security reasons. Nobody runs machines with a dead SSD from USB, what they do is replace the SSD. The non-replaceable SSD is the problem, not the firmware/USB situation. Also can you please stop making every second word a hashtag? I swear it is extremely cringe. I know the Fediverse relies on hashtags more, but not like *that*. That is just irritating visual noise.
