Juchhu, die neuen Framework-Laptops mit Touchscreen sind ab sofort vorbestellbar. Ich freue mich schon auf mein grünes 12“-Modell (soeben vorbestellt) und bin mal gespannt, wie gut Linux mit einem Touchscreen funktioniert.

Me, "repairing" my son's Switch Lite. I replace one part; break another.

I have dreams of being a "repair guy" and the technical skills of an enthusiastic bull in a solder shop.

as much as I don't like my mom's laptop from 2019 it's actually fully upgradable.

sata ssd to replace the spinning rust, ram upgrade, and it'll get another 5-6 years (so long as it doesn't get dropped)

and new battery too. all for like $100 instead of whatever a new decent mid-range laptop goes for these days.

#RightToRepair could not have come sooner.

"The economic turmoil and uncertainty makes the prospect of buying a new device, especially an already pricey smartphone, laptop, or gaming console, seem like it’s going to become a lot more expensive. And if buying something new becomes harder and harder, it makes more sense to keep what you already have going strong."

The rise of ‘Frankenstein’ laptops in New Delhi’s repair markets

@frameworkcomputer You gotta come to India.

@mastodonindians

Website idea: a mashup of reddit and iFixit called “F these guys!” that surfaces/showcases 3d printable replacement parts and substitues for enshittified products. Things like replacement knobs for an oven, coat hooks, buttons for old stereos, car dashboard bits. Basically a pushback against planned obsolescence and the enshittification. Sure thingiverse and similar sites exist, but they are catch all. Difference here is a focused UI that encourages both models and replacement tutorials. Most stuff on Amazon is just plastic. The “vitamins” as the RepRap ppl call them are just a tiny portion of most manufactured goods. Website name is up for discussion. #3dPrinting #enshittification #maker #RightToRepair

This is pretty awesome.

I'm convinced that the real innovation and the creativity necessary to survive the impending catastrophe will never come from places like Silicon Valley. It doesn't shine and it doesn't have world design conferences. It will come instead from the alleys of marketplaces, mostly (but not only) in the Global South.

> Singh recalls a young engineering student who visited his shop last year, desperate for a laptop to complete his coursework. “He had saved up for months but was still short of money. I put together a machine for him from spare parts, and he left with tears in his eyes. That is when you know this work matters.”
