@DrFerrous@hachyderm.ioHeads up friends in NoVA and DC! Do you have kitchen knives that need sharpening? Let me bring back their edge at our next #RepairCafe!
We’ll be at Sherwood Regional Library on Sunday, May 4th, 2025. Doors open at 10:30am, and we'll be repairing until 12pm.
We also offer sewing repairs, small appliances, jewelry, and computer/phone assistance. Oh, and free snacks and nerdy conversation. All are welcome!
Been reading about a new #EV company Slate Auto and their pickup they expect to release late next year. The sub $20k to mid $ 20ks price tag sounds great, too. But what I really love is they stripped out alot of the "smart" gimmicks other automakers shove in. They also seem to be embracing #opensource in at least accessories, of which the truck can be infinitely customized even into an SUV. And so far, they are one of the few automakers putting #RightToRepair into the design (Scout has made similar claims).

@FabianLaasch@mastodon.greenKeilriemen am Gardena Rasenmäher gerissen. Ist grob acht bis zehn Jahre alt und wohl Zeit für eine Wartung. Er hat sich mit einer kleinen weißen Rauchfahne verabschiedet.
Positiv:
- Es gibt offizielle Ersatzteile.
- Preise sind akzeptabel.
- Typenschild nach Reinigung bestens lesbar.
- Man kann ohne Anleitung den Mäher komplett zerlegen. 1/2
@itgrrl@infosec.exchange@wolfin @projectgus @urbansec their AU warranty statement says 12 months, but depending on your jurisdiction there might be other statutory rights that they can’t override with their own warranty / ToS (they do mention Australia’s consumer protections in the AU version)
https://frame.work/au/en/warranty
Australian Consumer Law provides protections that often mean that a seller or manufacturer may be required to repair, replace, or refund a product for a (sometimes much) longer period than their stated warranty, depending on reasonable expectations of the life of the product, cost, etc. – see https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/problem-with-a-product-or-service-you-bought
See the full Framework Computer Inc Limited Warranty,…

Happy National Telephone Day!
Instead of continually chasing upgrades, what if we kept our smartphones for 5 years? How about 10?
That’s the mission we’re on with Back Market:
Fix it.
Pass it on.
Say no to planned obsolescence.
Because the most sustainable phone is the one you already own. Read more about our 10-year phone mission here: https://www.ifixit.com/News/109306/fix-it-then-pass-it-on-ifixit-joins-forces-with-back-market
@itsfoss recent #Lenovo #Thinkpad #Laptop like T14 Gen 5 has pretty decent #repairability score:

Not as good as #framework but it is still good to have alternatives.
Be aware of proprietary binary blobs in #firmware and #bios hence I can recommend to also have a look here for other great #laptops:

The Right to Repair movement is surging across the country. From small towns to state capitols, momentum is building—because people are tired of being told they can’t fix the things they own. In this month’s update, we’re celebrating major wins, tracking new bills, and preparing for critical hearings—including efforts to push back on proposals that threaten to roll back hard-won protections. Let’s keep the pressure on.

@Snowshadow@mastodon.socialDear small appliance designers and manufacturers,
Stop designing stuff that is nearly impossible to repair, or made so it takes hours to take apart and assemble when only a couple of changes would make it so much easier.
Signed,
Tired of shoddy, troublesome to repair designs.
