Spent most of the day practicing soldering-desoldering on an old PC mouse with a double-click problem. Changed two 1 euro components, mouse works, skills learned. #RightToRepair

The EU forced Nintendo to build a second Switch 2 just for battery rules—and accidentally proved what we've been arguing for years.

The defrost timer in the 39 year old refrigerater failed. I couldn't bring myself to replace the entire refrigerator over a $30 timer. I'm pretty sure that any new appliance isn't going to last that long. #RightToRepair

The same telecom company arguing in court that you shouldn't need to be an expert to know what you're buying is the company that slapped fake 5G labels on millions of phones. Nobody in this industry is the good guy, they're just taking turns getting caught. #righttorepair

Under a new law, people in Texas now have the right to repair their electronics. The Texas #RightToRepair Act passed unanimously and took effect on September 1, making Texas the ninth 🇺🇸 US state to guarantee the right to repair their devices.

Spectrum already owns the fiber. It stops at the node, then they run coax the rest of the way and call it 'fiber powered.' Take the exec bonus money and finish the job. #RightToRepair #DigitalOwnership #Spectrum #ISP #ConsumerRights

The push for user-level access to hardware diagnostics has inadvertently dismantled the proprietary logging architectures that defined enterprise software for decades, forcing a new era of open telemetry.

"Fiber powered" is a lie. It's coax with a sticker on it. Your upload gets choked and you share that copper with the whole block, while you're paying $70-90 a month for it. #RightToRepair #DigitalOwnership #Broadband #ISP #ConsumerRights #TechAccountability

What happens when Big Tech is always Rigged to screw you over? I call it Rig Tech.

Rig Tech is technology designed to extract our time, money, and more; undermining the benefits we bought it for.

ISPs love to say fiber powered. FTTX just means fiber to wherever they stop paying and switch you to coax. The X isn't a place, it's the con. #Broadband #FiberInternet #ISP #RightToRepair #ConsumerRights #TechAccountability

There’s definitely some inconvenience with buying used machines. But I’d much rather fix them up than be a mindless consumer and buy some brand new junk that will crap out after two seasons. #righttorepair

Fiber powered internet is a lie. That last stretch to your house is coax, not glass, and that's why your upload gets choked while you're paying $80 a month for it. Know what you're actually buying. #RightToRepair #DigitalOwnership #ISP #Broadband #TechAccountability

EU Right to Repair rules aim to make fixing appliances cheaper by requiring affordable parts, tools and manuals. Repairs currently cost Europeans €12 billion yearly, while millions of broken devices become waste. #EU #RightToRepair

The power switch on my Timemore coffee scale died. Turns out it's a known issue: cold solder joints on the switch. Opened it up, reflowed the joints, and now it powers on like new. Ten minutes with a soldering iron instead of a new scale. This is why right to repair matters.

Smartphone makers don’t bother to comply with EU repairability requirements.

One year into the EU’s repairability rules for smartphones and tablets, more than 80% of devices still lack the necessary repair information, Right to Repair…
