Windows 10 support ends soon. Millions of perfectly working computers may be scrapped just because they can’t run Win11. It’s absurd. endof10.org encourages people to switch to Linux - and offers volunteers' help. I moved from Windows to Linux in recent years and couldn’t be happier. My favourite old laptop, an affordable model which carried me through years of PhD, now runs like new. If you’re curious to try but nervous, I’m happy to help!

Mx Autumn :blobcatpumpkin:

My twelve year old Lenovo x230 has developed the sudden shutdown issue that others had within its warranty period.

It happens within two minutes of boot and otherwise when the laptop is moved which feels like a connection issue to me.

Looking at decade old forum posts I can see many people saying that disconnecting and reseating the WiFi card fixed it for them.

One more task onto my list, although at least this laptop was built to be serviceable! #RightToRepair

Signet

I finally have a partial answer to the question "how long will a #Signet last?"

Previously, we have never seen one wear out, but after 7.5 years, most of which was daily use, my 2017 Signet started having intermittent problems with the USB connector. I had to jiggle it to get it to work.

7+ years is better than you'll get from any commercial company, but here's the real kicker...

I replaced the USB connector and it works reliably again!

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: ifixit.com/News/109306/fix-it-

iPhone with its screen flipped upwards at a 90 degree angle, exposing the phone's internals. The phone is being held by someone's left hand, and they're using their right index finger to point at one of the phone's internal components. In front of the person is a workbench, and in the background is another person who appears to be looking at the phone.

@itsfoss recent #Lenovo #Thinkpad #Laptop like T14 Gen 5 has pretty decent #repairability score:

ifixit.com/repairability/lapto

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:
coreboot.org/

And more here: pad.hacc.space/green-hardware-

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 (released in 2024) has a ifixit repairability score of 9/10. Some pros: Storage and memory are readily repairable/upgradeable using industry-standard parts. The battery is easily replaced, and the keyboard replacement procedure is best-in-class. Overall high modularity, apart from a handful of soldered ports and a bundled fan/heat sink assembly.

I’m at the point where I have to pause my workflow to maintain my #ElectricKiln. At a time when we’re fighting for the #RightToRepair, I just want to mention that #Skutt kilns are designed not only to be easy to use, but also easy to fix. I’ve replaced relays & thermocouples with ease over the years. Not trying to be a product endorser here (in fact definitely buy a used kiln if you can find one) but Skutt products always make me wish that everything was designed this way. #ceramics

#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."

Two hands, the left holding tweezers and the right a spudger, working on a Samsung smartphone. The phone has its screen and back glass removed, which are on the table next to it. The phone's battery and logic board are exposed. Above the phone and its parts are several screwdrivers and an iFixit Jimmy tool.
