How did I not know iFixit was on Mastodon? If you're unfamiliar, iFixit is a company that advocates for Right to Repair and the sale of repairable products. They offer free repair manuals and other information for countless devices, and they sell quality tools and parts to assist in making those repairs and avoiding bad tech. Great outfit, and a font of useful information. Be sure to follow.

Special shoutout to the repair site iFixit who are now on the Fediverse, you can follow them at:

➡️ @iFixit

They provide repair forums and free repair guides for phones, computers, consoles, kitchen equipment, tools, medical devices, cars etc. They also review and tear down new gadgets to see how repairable they are.

Repairing your existing stuff is much, much better for the environment than buying replacements.

We. Love. Modular. Ports.

Did you know that MacBooks have modular USB-C ports? All that Thunderbolt speed goes straight through a small press connector. Impressive!

Better yet, if you break a port, your expensive logic board's safe and sound.

Why doesn't every laptop do this?!
