@becha#Bitcoin :bitcoin: is a prime producer for 100% avoidable #eWaste and it's even worse than #Apple's #AntiRepairDesign cuz those have 0 salvageable components that could be taken to #repair nor could they be #reused differently and all they do when #UseLonger is being done is turn electricity into hot air...
I think that the more convenience we have in our lives, the more certain it is that either someone else is paying the price, or it's a deferred payment and we may not be able to afford it when the time comes
Der EU-Binnenmarktausschuss will das von der Kommission vorgeschlagene „Recht auf Reparatur“ deutlich verbessern. Von einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft sind wir aber auch damit nach wie vor meilenweit entfernt. Dabei brauchen wir einen solchen Wandel.
"Apple faces scrutiny from European environmental and consumer groups over its claims that its latest devices are “carbon neutral,” a term that Brussels proposes to ban in corporate marketing because it is “misleading.”"
a client made by an enterprise who will willingly backdoor your messages
a client made by 3 people that get random breaking changes that completely obliterate flow
a client that is one giant html5 canvas that uses 100% of your browser gpu power
a client that requires systemd
way too many abandoned android and ios clients
please use fedi we have:
an instance software which is so popular but so feature deprived it makes no sense why it exists, also it's trademarked in a bad way
an instance software that has so much code rot it spawned 500 forks to try and fix it only to become rotten themselves
an instance software that doesn't really know what it's doing and instead implemented 3 different api standards, and this is the fork i'm talking about. no one should talk about the upstream project.
Ich übersetze zur Zeit gerne Reparaturanleitungen auf iFixit. Mich würde interessieren: Welche Geräte würdet ihr gerne viel öfter reparieren? Für was fehlen euch Anleitungen? #iFixit#Reparatur#repaircafe#RightToRepair
Der neue Star am Elektroschrott-Himmel: #Vuse E-Zigaretten. Was können wir tun, um diese Umweltverschmutzung zu stoppen? Unterdessen sammle ich die enthaltenen Lithium-Ionen-Akkus für den Modellbau, die teils mehr Kapazität haben, als die funkferngesteuerte Spielzeugdrohne meiner Kinder
Würde mich nicht wundern wenn #HughJeffreys feststellt dass sich nichtmals der #ChargingPort beim Austausch deaktiviert und damit sicherstellt dass #iPhone15 sich nicht #reparieren oder auch nur nach reparatur #laden lässt!
Apple is increasing its commitment to sustainability, I say casually to the Verizon employee as I trade in my iPhone 14 Pro with 89% battery health for a brand new iPhone 15 Pro
It's purposefully designed to make #repair economically unviable!
This shit should be made illegal by @EU_Commission because not even ATEX-certified radios and diving computers have that level of designed-in #unrepairability, and they even have fecking valid reasons to not be easy to be opened.
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...
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.
I've had a coffee maker and an alarm clock die with 1 year of use and seriously what is this bullshit? Both of those should last for fucking decades not one fucking year
Me: trying to repair a Thing, Googles for instructions, like a fool
The Internet: Here is an article titled How to Repair A Thing, with paragraph headings including "What is a Thing?", "What does Thing do?", "Why might you want a Thing?", "The history of Things", "Great alternatives to Things", "Where to buy a Thing", "30 facts about Things you didn't know". At the end you will find a single sentence that says "If your thing is broken, it is best to contact a qualified expert to repair it."
