@alxd
.... I've never understood the problem.
If you have wired headphones, just use a high quality usb-c dongle, you have a cable with you anyway. is the dongle really going to make that much of a difference?
The reality is that 95% of people have switched to using wireless headphones or earbuds instead

@codekoan Also people demand #Repairable devices not only because they like #repairability and hate avoidable #eWaste but most people in the #USA can't even afford a surprise $400 expense.
So it makes total sense to choose something cheaper that if it breaks can be repaired cost-effectively - like a @Fairphone ...

@faiz I got a desktop thrown out by a closing charity. It is probably 8 years old. Runs #fedora or #ubuntu fine and it's our family TV basically. I got a laptop thrown out as scrap (because: #windows will make that happen) and it is still going 10, 12 yrs old, with just a new SSD (and #linux ofc). My daily laptop (I'm a dev) is a #framework but with less specs than the one you're moving on from. Had to buy when my dell xps (never buy these!) died and they didn't do parts (less than 5 years after sale - boo). Have already used its #repairable feature thanks to clumsy orange juice drinking!

The people at #Framework have created a new #laptop with a 16 inch screen. :awesome:
https://frame.work/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040
Framework produces laptops that are #modular, easily #repairable and #configurable. Just imagine: you can even decide on which side the charging port should go - just by switching out a module. Crazy I know.
With their new model, they are also partnering with #AMD.
If I need to buy a new laptop, this one will definitely be it.

Is there some reason why the most #sustainable and #repairable phones are only available in Europe?
Do they think no-one values those things in the US or are there market barriers to #sustainability

@the yeah, and it's really aggravating to me because...
I want #tech to last and be #repairable!
And I want the #Nokia3310 #Memes applicable to my next Laptop and Smartphone!

@the I want #tech so #rugged that it outlives me and so #repairable that I don't want to buy new ever unless it literally got the "Hydraulic Press Channel Treatment"...
We live in a #ClimateCrisis and making shit last less and be less #repairable is more harmful than the #envoirment than if we'd remove all #SpeedLimits around the globe.
And no, a national #SpeedLimit on Germany's highway won't solve Climate Crisis compared to allowing people to #WorkFromHome whereever technically possible and refuse to make #FTTB / #FTTH a must-provide utility like #electricity, a #phone line and #DrinkingWater!
#drinkingwater #Phone #electricity #ftth #fttb #workfromhome #speedlimit #speedlimits #envoirment #repairable #ClimateCrisis
But because #LithiumIon / #LiPo, #LiCo / #Lithium - #Cobalt #batteries will INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME AND USE!
Not making shit #repairable is literally putting people's #health, #safety and the #envoirement [#reuse & #repair are always better than #recycle!] behind #profit!

Does anyone have recent experience with the #Framework laptop?
I am thinking hard about ordering the #Framework 13 2023 AMD version.
I have been buying Thinkpads since the Beginning of Time at least in part due to their amazing field repairability.
Maybe time to change...

@sarahzedig +9001%
I rather want #repairable, #reliable and working #tech that gets decent support...
Kinda like @Fairphone and @frameworkcomputer do and what I want to see more of...
@Soblow maybe look on #YouTube for a teardown & reassembly guide?
Granted, I'm used to #repairable machines like #ThinkPad|s where the manufacturer expects technicians on-staff / on-site to be able to do things like "swap the cooling assembly"...

@kubikpixel denn im Zweifelsfalle akzeptiere ich nen hässlicheres Design wenn's dafür more #rugged, #repairable und #langliebig ist...

@sinituulia EXACTLY THAT!
I want my #tech #repairable in that it uses standard components wherever possible and avoids proprietary bs at all costs...
Guess why I'm still using a #Thinkpad #X230t to this day?
BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE MACHINE ON THE MARKET IS A #DOWNGRADE FROM IT!
Yes, even the @frameworkcomputer - it's just the least offensive ...
fingers crossed I can actually make the #NUCbook before my machine fails....

@djlink Anyone not suckered in by Apple and Samsung has had phones like that for the last three years or so. #fairphone #repairable
oh shit, #ifixit released a usb c charging brick (US plug for now..) but it's fully #repairable. Dope! https://www.ifixit.com/products/ifixit-65w-usb-c-ac-adapter
@csepp That's why I #WontBuy any #Apple hardware, since their #AntiRepair design is an #EnvoirmentalCrime on it's own.
the only winning move is work towards a #repairable alternative:

Brilliant! What's weirdest is that it should have been like that all along - first electronic devices were _repairable_ 🤦♀️
