I’m currently at five years with my iPhone 11 Pro. I’ll probably upgrade (and deApple) by the end of the year.

“Back Market and iFixit are partnering to encourage consumers to keep their phones in service for at least five years—and to pressure manufacturers to extend smartphone support to 10 years.”

@iFixit goes cooking

Wir haben "Pizza-Pot-Pie" gemacht. Pilze, getrocknete Tomaten, Brokkoli, Zwiebeln und Knoblauch anbraten. Schüsseln innen am Boden und außen am Rand mit Öl bestreichen. Dann Keese (veganer Käse) auf den Boden der Schüsseln streuen, die gebratene Füllung rein, mit nach belieben gewürzter Tomaten-Passata überdecken und zum Schluss noch mal Keese drauf. Dann nimmt man Pizzateig und rollt ihn soweit rund aus, bis er am Schüsselrand herunterhängt ohne die Arbeitsplatte zu berühren. Bei unseren 15-Zentimeter-Schüsseln waren das ungefähr 20 Zentimeter Durchmesser. Den Teig außen dann noch ein bisschen mit Olivenöl bestreichen und ab in den Ofen für 15 Minuten bei 200°C. Danach muss das ganze auf einen Teller gestürzt werden. Dafür habe ich dann einen der "Heavy-Duty Suction Cups" von iFixit benutzt. Top Sache :D

New day - new Raspberry Pi brought back to life

This one probably fell down because it had no shorts, all voltages from DA9090 were present, but it didn’t start most of the time - it did once but then I spent quite some time trying to figure out where is our issue.

Reflowing CPU and RAM chips must have helped

Hätten sich die Speicherbänke und die CMOS-Batteriehalterung auf der anderen Seite des Mainboard befunden, wäre das ein 10 von 10 auf der #iFixit-Reparaturskala gewesen.

US-Zölle könnten Technikpreise um bis zu 16,4% erhöhen. iFixit empfiehlt Reparaturen als kostengünstige Alternative zum Neukauf. Längere Nutzung bestehender Geräte spart Geld und schont die Umwelt, so #iFixit https://winfuture.de/news,150222.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

If the #tariffs stick, microsoldering and board repair is about to become a *highly* valuable skill. Consumer #electronics are going to get a helluva lot more expensive and simultaneously supply will go down, that coupled with an overall recession means people will hold onto their devices longer and choose to get them repaired instead of replaced.

#Tariffs will make almost every new piece of technology more expensive. That means repairing the devices you own will make even more sense than buying new.
However, replacement parts will also become more expensive.

Yep, the Switch 2 Joy-Cons will probably still drift because Nintendo isn't using Hall effect sensors. So, if you were thinking about upgrading, it might make more sense to swap out the joysticks in your current Joy-Cons. It's easier than you might think—and a lot more affordable.

This #WITDay, we're celebrating Martine Postma. She's the activist and former journalist who started the Repair Café movement.

“I wanted to do more than just write about it,” Postma says. “More and more people don’t feel good about our throw-away society and are ready for change. [They] don’t throw away because they want to, but because they don’t know what else to do.”

Ah ha ha ha lolsob #ifixit just sent me a happy one year anniversary email, which means that the computer I was working on last year is still not fixed and it's been sitting on my workbench for a year now. Smart.

New tool! Meet the iFixit ESD-Safe Hammer.

We hear you: sometimes you need a little more oomph to finish your fix. So, we engineered the world’s first hammer designed for electronics repair. It's built with a non-conductive handle, ESD-safe head, and just enough heft to "persuade" stubborn components.

Perfect for:
Glued-in batteries
Stripped screws
Soldered memory
Stress relief

Now unavailable at iFixit.com.

What would be the best way to fix this issue on one of your screwdrivers?

Ever ordered a replacement part online, only to find it doesn’t fit your device?

We’re excited to introduce the Device Compatibility Checker, taking the guesswork out of finding the right part!

It's live on our store pages, and you can read more about it here: https://www.ifixit.com/News/108469/no-more-parts-guesswork-with-ifixits-device-compatibility-checker

Hoy vengo a animaros a que reparéis vuestros teléfonos (o los llevéis a que alguien los repare).

La batería de mi Pixel 6 estaba renqueando mucho tras 3 años y medio de uso. Cuando llegaba al 20% empezaba a caer dígito a dígito cada segundo.

Pues bien, me compré la batería y otras partes (adhesivo y bandas de disipación de calor) en @iFixit. En esa misma web, especializada, tienen guía completa para cambiar la batería y, si lo quieres, el kit entero para hacerlo tú mismo.

Yo no me atrevía a hacerlo por mi cuenta, así que se lo llevé a una tienda de confianza y por menos de 80€ en total (batería y la mano de obra) tengo móvil nuevo como quien dice.

Os dejo la web de #iFixit a mano, que además en el caso de los Pixel vende recambios originales de Google: https://es.ifixit.com/

Replacing the battery in pre-Retina MacBooks is easier than you might think! No glue, no fuss, just a handful of screws and a sliding connector.

Trocha sebepropagace:
Dělal jsem si držák na #ifixit Manta kit pod stůl. Teoreticky by to samozřejmě mělo udržet i ostatní kity, ale to nemám jak ověřit Případně je k dispozici i zdrojový soubor z #openSCAD pro úpravy (samozřejmě s komentáři, které snad dávají smysl).
