Riquiñez :cine_disney_stich: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 <a href="https://mastodon.social/@iFixit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@iFixit</a>. 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 <a href="https://masto.es/tags/iFixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iFixit</a> a mano, que además en el caso de los Pixel vende recambios originales de Google: <a href="https://es.ifixit.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://es.ifixit.com/</a><a href="https://masto.es/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/DerechoAReparar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DerechoAReparar</a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/Pixel6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pixel6</a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/Smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smartphones</a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a>

J. Steven York RESISTSHow 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.

SheldonThe adult version of the kids’ game, Operation, where you remove “organs” from a patient is the game of smartphone repair. I just replaced the battery on an old iPhone 7. I probably spent half my time just trying to seat the microscopic screws so I could put them back in. Also at that size a Y000 screw is almost indistinguishable from a PH000 screw. The Y has a 3-way pattern and the PH is the Philips 4-way pattern. They both look just like dots to the naked eye. Getting the case open and getting the screws back in was the hardest part of doing my own battery replacement. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ifixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ifixit</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#today</a>

Erik L. Midtsveen 🚩🏴Well electric cars, hell, cars in general these days come with proprietary software that totally screws over the buyer's ability to fix their own damn car. It's bullshit, plain and simple.Right to repair isn't just some fancy slogan, it's a fucking right. Period. I'm all in on open source software and the freedom to dig into the code, learn from it, and yeah, fix it if I need to. That's how it should be, not this locked-down crap they're pushing on us.Sadly, this is the world most people are forced into with big tech companies owning and operating most of the software we and many companies use today.I would recommend anyone reading this to give <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> a try if you haven't already used it. It's open-source, customizable, and gives you the freedom to really make your system your own.❤ In short: I love the right to repair my own stuff!<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Repair</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Fix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fix</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/iFixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iFixit</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/EletricCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EletricCars</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cars</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Swasticars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swasticars</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>
