I believe if we don't get this debated, in a few years' time we will be forced to only use the Mechanics and Garages appointed by the Car Companies, forced to endure price gouging & profiteering, be on long waiting lists + travel miles to use one garage for diagnostics and repairs

Ręczny inhalator pempa

Rozmontowana górna część inhalatora pempa z nowym atomizerem założonym do końcówki

Opakowanie z napisem 16mm 1.7MHz Ultra mist maker atomizing transducer ceramic humidifier TYPE D

El MacBook Neo ya está aquí y es... ¡MODULAR! 🛠️💻

Este nuevo modelo de $599 permite cambiar la batería y el teclado. Además, viene con el chip A18 Pro. ¿Es este el "Chromebook killer" que esperábamos o Apple solo quiere que dejemos de quejarnos? 🍏

El MacBook Neo es el Mac más reparable desde 2012 🔧

Batería con tornillos, componentes accesibles, teclado reemplazable. iFixit le dio un 6/10 y quedó feliz.

¿Apple aprendió la lección… o fue la EU quien los obligó?

I honestly don't think CANBUS would exist if it was conceived in today's world. Manufacturers are doing a hell of job making it harder to access information from the car even with CANBUS (one of the many reasons I won't buy another Honda).

If EV batteries are now projected to last beyond the lifespan of the vehicles they're installed in, should we not prepare for that eventuality?

What if, we propose a regulation for car makers that says something like "make your batteries easily removable for the purposes or repair, replacement […]

Das Bild zeigt einen Saugroboter der Marke Neato. Im Bild steht: "Aus Saugroboter wird Saugblöd: Saugroboter werden zu Elektroschrott nach Cloud-Abschaltung durch Vorwerk" darunter steht: "Knapp 4700 Nutzer fordern jetzt in einer Petition eine Open-Source-Lösung, damit ihre Neato-Geräte nicht zu Elektroschrott werden."

Der Saugroboter ist noch da, aber seine Intelligenz wohnt leider nicht mehr hier. 🤤
Nachdem Vorwerk die Cloud-Plattform im Oktober 2025 abgeschaltet hat, fühlen sich viele Käufer im Stich gelassen.

EU consumers lose € 12 billion / year from choosing new products over repairs. Not to mention the staggering environmental costs... By July 31st, 2026, all EU member states must transpose the Right to Repair directive, bringing sweeping changes: reduced VAT on repair services ✓ spare parts made available for 7 years ✓repairs add 12 months to your warranty ✓banning software that prevents independent repairs ✓ mandatory repairs for smartphones, etc., post-warranty The scope is wide: smartphones, tablets, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, displays, servers, even vacuum cleaners. To fix climate change, we must do more with less. This is a big step in the right direction.

FINALLY!!

Senate committee advances right‑to‑repair overhaul after amendment, 6‑member yes vote The Joint Standing Committee on Housing and Economic Development voted to report LD 22 11 'ought to pass' after an amendment that narrows scope, delegates oversight and removes heavy‑duty vehicles. The committee recorded a roll‑call vote with six members in the affirmative.

Maine's Senate committee takes a bold step towards empowering consumers with a right-to-repair overhaul, but a fierce debate over amendments leaves many questions unanswered.
