Two people sit at an iFixit booth at a conference, smiling as they work together on a small electronics soldering repair. An iFixit Pro Tech Go toolkit is open on the table, with bits, spudgers, and tools neatly arranged while they focus on a hands-on fix.
A close-up view of two people concentrating on a repair at an iFixit booth, using precision tools from an open toolkit. One person applies a tool while the other guides the process, with repair tools, parts, and a soldering setup spread across the table in a busy conference hall.
Nothing says CES like booths, badges, and… soldering. We fired up the FixHub on the show floor and @beccafarsace.bsky.social jumped in to give it a go. Repair doesn’t need a lab. Just the right tools.

Helping fix the broken world 🛠
Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane. The lower image shows a version of the iconic blue windows background, with blue lasers outlining and passing through an angled Windows logos against a dark background.
Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Yep this was inevitable as anti-cheat systems evolved. There are going to be many more following suit.
The little ears animations are the best 😆
How did we wind up, losing so much knowledge about repair, that one faulty cap costing 0,50 Euro leads to scrapping an oven costing 500 Euro. And that's not even considering the environmental impact. Bring back basic electronics repair shops! #righttorepair #restarters
Right to Repair Means You Can Fix Your Own Damn iPhone
The Right to Repair movement is gaining ground, pushing for laws that give consumers and independent shops more control over how they fix their own devices.

What success sounds like. 🤪 Another 'vintage' motorhome control panel repaired. Good thing too as these can't be found anywhere to buy.

An AutoChair hoist repair. A nice customer needed this working again so he could lift his mobility scooter in and out of his car so I said I'd take a look.
Another one saved from the e-waste pile and the customer saves a bunch of money too!

If they fix everything I won't have any more customers! 😅
'Disposable Electric Fan'
How does something like this exist??? Disgusting.
Whaaaat??? Things like this should be illegal.
I needed one zener diode and one voltage regulator. I had to buy 100 diodes and 50 regulators. 🤪

Tariffs on parts but not new devices? That’s a double standard. More people will choose replacement over repair. That means more e-waste, fewer domestic repair jobs, and more dependence on imported tech.
We need policies that fix the system, not punish fixers.

Well done! 😍
The home Whirlpool fridge LED was flickering for the past week, Whirlpool wanted $115 to replace (part# W11527432), instead I replaced 8 LEDs (2.45V forward voltage) in series for a whopping total of $2.03 from DigiKey! Years more of 💡
