Der EU-Binnenmarktausschuss will das von der Kommission vorgeschlagene „Recht auf Reparatur“ deutlich verbessern. Von einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft sind wir aber auch damit nach wie vor meilenweit entfernt. Dabei brauchen wir einen solchen Wandel.

In no way can they make a product so #green that it justifies #AntiRepair and preventing people from #UseLonger, #Repair & #Upcyvle before #Recycling.

I saw a kit that, for around $9900, can transform any car into a hub motor EV and I kinda want to do that to the Buick. Most of the remaining problems are with that clunky old GM3800. If I ditched that the car is big enough to have front and rear trunks and still have room for more than enough batteries to reach most places in Oregon. That's all I need really.

@threetails not really...

EVs are less repair-friendly and #Tesla espechally goes full #Apple-style #AntiRepair.

What EVs do well is Torque: You get basically 100% the torque across the entire rpm range.

I do hope that instead of thicc #BEV|s we'll see smol and cute #PLV's that save on weight and rare metals and increase range with methanol fuelcells.

After all, there is a need to go smaller and more efficient:

@stuartl @thesixdave @ubuntu Precisely.

Consistency is key here: I'm not an #Apple fan and I think their #Hardware should be illegal for #ReducedLifecycle and #AntiRepair being engineered into it.

That being said I can understand several people that would be able and willing to pay $500 p.a. if Apple were to charge that for #macOS on 3rd party devices because it's a good OS...

@stuartl @tcb @thesixdave @Fairphone And yes, Apple does utilize #AntiRepair and #ReducedLifecycle as much as they get away with it.

@maikelfrias everything is #political

Him being a convicted #capitalist who is #consistent in his logic and understanding makes him if not agreeable at least respectable and acceptable, since he's not nitpicking only the aspects he likes and disregards what he dislikes.

Oh noes! Something is wrong with my 23 year old . The last couple of times I’ve used it, I’ve noticed a few drops of oil have leaked from the motor, and I’m pretty sure we’re heading towards a situation where the that makes it run could get out.
Does anyone have experience in getting them serviced or repaired, or am I - gulp - going to have to save for a new one? I use it maybe once a month at the moment, but I’d really miss it.

Tipp Nr.30: Achte vor dem Kauf neuer Geräte/Technik unbedingt auf Fallstricke. Diese können sein: App-Zwang, Cloud-Anbindung etc. Nicht jeder »Scheiß« muss mit dem Internet verbunden sein. Wenn die Hersteller dann pleite gehen, sind die Geräte meist nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Vorausschauendes Einkaufen kann das verhindern.

Danke, mir gefällt der technische Ansatz!

Out of the box sind solche Ansätze nicht!
