Listening to Kyle Wiens, Denver Gingerich, and Hilary Shohoney talk about Right to Repair at #fossy
I think this is an excellent area that existing companies can leverage--build repairable tech that can compete with locked down tech. Think this is possible?
@damngoodtech In the end it's a consumer's choice.
People need to be #TechLiterate enough to value #repairability (and #upgradeability) over making tue thinnest devices possible.
Now granted, both @frameworkcomputer amd @Fairphone did manage to design #thinn yet repairable devices, proving that all the #AntiRepair-Arguments are corporate propaganda lies!
Personally I'd accept even #thicc'er devices if that means they'd use more #COTS and less #custom parts...
@damngoodtech @frameworkcomputer @Fairphone
Also a chonky #LiFePO4 battery will outlive #LiIon / #LiPo cells espechally in the common "low discharge depth" scenarios and even with 100% discharge.
That may make a product a bit thiccer, heaver and more expensive over-the-counter, but will greatly increase it's lifespan, reduce repair costs and allow for a more repairable design.
And even Apple has to agree on that since they kept the #MacPro and espechally #MacMini in the same cases!
