@primonatura not only is #Apple's claim #misleading at best, but their #AntiRepairDesign is harmful to the envoirment and customers.

In no way can they make a product so #green that it justifies #AntiRepair and preventing people from #UseLonger, #Repair & #Upcyvle before #Recycling.

I saw a kit that, for around $9900, can transform any car into a hub motor EV and I kinda want to do that to the Buick. Most of the remaining problems are with that clunky old GM3800. If I ditched that the car is big enough to have front and rear trunks and still have room for more than enough batteries to reach most places in Oregon. That's all I need really.

EVs are less repair-friendly and espechally goes full -style .

What EVs do well is Torque: You get basically 100% the torque across the entire rpm range.

I do hope that instead of thicc |s we'll see smol and cute 's that save on weight and rare metals and increase range with methanol fuelcells.

After all, there is a need to go smaller and more efficient:

But instead of hoping for #regulation to work - which is #naive - the only winning move is to refuse to buy such #AntiRepairDesign and instead choose #repairability - like with a @Fairphone !

The good part of any #NonCompeteClause in #Germany is that those are null and void if the former #Employer doesn't pay them as if they were still employed for the duration of their clause, since it restricts their ability to earn the same amount of #income.

And I think that's a valid balance between preventing competitiors from "hiring away key personnel" and the ability for small businesses to defend themselves against "hostile corrosion" tactics...

@maikelfrias everything is #political

OFC #LouisRossmann lobbies for #RightToRepair since #AntiRepair measures like #Apple encroaching on the #SupplyChain for #parts like #Chips existentially threatens his business.

Him being a convicted #capitalist who is #consistent in his logic and understanding makes him if not agreeable at least respectable and acceptable, since he's not nitpicking only the aspects he likes and disregards what he dislikes.

Oh noes! Something is wrong with my 23 year old . The last couple of times I’ve used it, I’ve noticed a few drops of oil have leaked from the motor, and I’m pretty sure we’re heading towards a situation where the that makes it run could get out.
Does anyone have experience in getting them serviced or repaired, or am I - gulp - going to have to save for a new one? I use it maybe once a month at the moment, but I’d really miss it.

Tipp Nr.30: Achte vor dem Kauf neuer Geräte/Technik unbedingt auf Fallstricke. Diese können sein: App-Zwang, Cloud-Anbindung etc. Nicht jeder »Scheiß« muss mit dem Internet verbunden sein. Wenn die Hersteller dann pleite gehen, sind die Geräte meist nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Vorausschauendes Einkaufen kann das verhindern.

Danke, mir gefällt der technische Ansatz!

Out of the box sind solche Ansätze nicht!
