@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...

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 ... @GreenRoc@mastodon.social @kkarhan@infosec.space

@djsundog Also it's more of a Declaration of Intent of the Manufacturer to not make a #Serviceable / #RepairableDesign and not provide #AfterSalesSupport...

Dear all, let me present #AMD online #documentation of their #Zynq7000 FPGA with its amazebase #schematics. Yes, that is original size, yes, that is supposed to be text, and it is in interval zigzag lines. Good luck reading any of that!
If their processors are equally documented, I'm not surprised that Intel still sells...
This is certainly the circuit used, except instead of variable resistors they have undoubtely selected whatever 100, 75%, 50%, 25% on a SLA would be. (assuming this was originally an SLA battery in here). #schematics

As much as I dunk on #Fairphone for #downgrading every device since the #FP3plus, they at least live the "#SchematicsOrDie!" principle and actually deliver #Schematics, #BoardView and #ComponentList on their website in a publicly accessible #PDF...

In all seriousness tho: they ain't perfect but the best there is in terms of "you csn buy this right now in stores" kinda brand that isn't some obsure crowdfunding thingy but has an actual track record!

  • Also shoutout to #LouisRossmann for releasing an addendum on his own...

Kindly don't just assume it's always 1245! Try be present, physically inspect the #ECU baths' #ujanja so You no mixup #schematics 👇

Remember the #benchmode & #bootmode lines ping out different data, seen🤔?
