For example, some cars until @EU_Commission mandated toolfree-swappable bulbs on newer models literally required uninstalling basically the entire front bodykit and sometimes even the radiator just to swap a faulty light bulb.

Because anything else will affirm said manufacturers that are #AntiRepair that you are okay with them denying you this essential #ConsumerRight to #DIY and #fix products you bought...
In #capitalism, your #reciept is your vote:

So it makes total sense to choose something cheaper that if it breaks can be repaired cost-effectively - like a @Fairphone ...

Great news. From 2027 on, in the EU, it should be easy to replace batteries in electronic devices, including mobile phones. 👍🏻♻️

Oh, Xbox controller so worn
Your plastic pieces were torn
But Microsoft has saved the day
With parts that can make you whole again
Bringing back your buttons and joy
A repairability joy!

It is inexcusable to make #EWaste (and most other waste) now. It never was excusable, but the reasons why hadn't yet made themselves blatantly obvious to all observers. Now they have.

Pillonel says his goal is to demonstrate how the AirPods Pro "could have been easily made repairable with minimal effort" and to encourage customers "to be more mindful of their choices, and to motivate manufacturers to prioritize sustainability."
I LOVE THIS GUY. ✊

Dropped my #rogally from a table and smashed the joysticks. Realized how easily this thing is to repair after opening it to take a look. Spent $14 on eBay to get replacement joysticks and after 20mins it was up and running again!
The #repairability of this design is amazing.
