Bean ThinkingToday I tried to get my iPhone 5c fixed (broken screen and dodgy battery) only to be told at the shop (iSmash) that my phone was "too old for repair"!!I bought it in 2017 and would prefer to fix it rather than get a new one. Surely there is somewhere in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#London</a> that would <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> my phone (the Apple website considered the phone 'obsolete'). Anyone with any ideas please?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/righttorepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#righttorepair</a>

iFixitThis Global <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recycling</a> Day, let’s talk about our favorite way to reduce waste: repair! Recycling is inefficient, complex, and time consuming. It should be the very last step in a long line of alternatives. While Reduce and Reuse are the best options, we think the missing R is Repair.

impermanen_ 🕊️PSA: if you need to replace a broken clothes washer or dryer, the trick is not to buy a new one. I’ve heard this many times and it’s been true in my experience. Instead find a Maytag or Whirlpool that’s at least 30 years old. They were built to be repaired, still can be, and rarely break down in any case. Anything newer is progressively crappier, even if they look fancy on the outside. Unrepairable, they’re designed to force you to buy new appliances frequently.<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/righttorepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#righttorepair</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/boycott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boycott</a>

SheldonThe adult version of the kids’ game, Operation, where you remove “organs” from a patient is doing smartphone repair. I just replaced the battery on an old iPhone 7. I probably spent half my time just trying to seat the microscopic screws so I could put them back in. Also at that size a Y000 screw is almost indistinguishable from a PH000 screw. The Y has a 3-way pattern and the PH is the Philips 4-way pattern. They both look just like dots to the naked eye. Getting the case open and getting the screws back in was the hardest part of doing my own battery replacement. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ifixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ifixit</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a>

Erik L. Midtsveen 🏴🏳️‍🌈Well electric cars, hell, cars in general these days come with proprietary software that totally screws over the buyer's ability to fix their own damn car. It's bullshit, plain and simple.Right to repair isn't just some fancy slogan, it's a fucking right. Period. I'm all in on open source software and the freedom to dig into the code, learn from it, and yeah, fix it if I need to. That's how it should be, not this locked-down crap they're pushing on us.Sadly, this is the world most people are forced into with big tech companies owning and operating most of the software we and many companies use today.I would recommend anyone reading this to give <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> a try if you haven't already used it. It's open-source, customizable, and gives you the freedom to really make your system your own.❤ In short: I love the right to repair my own stuff!<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Repair</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Fix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fix</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/iFixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iFixit</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/EletricCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EletricCars</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cars</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Swasticars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swasticars</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>
