On a related note, any AV nerds that can point me to where I can order replacement parts for these Bowers and Wilkins headphones?

It's got a nice click in and out cord, and squishy pads that pop off. Should all be fixable, but it's not my wheelhouse and my cog is trashed so searching this stuff out shreds my brain.
I'm in Canada, fyi re shipping etc.
Links and leads appreciated.

as much as I don't like my mom's laptop from 2019 it's actually fully upgradable.

sata ssd to replace the spinning rust, ram upgrade, and it'll get another 5-6 years (so long as it doesn't get dropped)

and new battery too. all for like $100 instead of whatever a new decent mid-range laptop goes for these days.

#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.

@jon What annoys me about EVs is that it seems car manufacturers are using them as an excuse to work towards "Vehicle as a Service" where you might own your car on paper but need subscriptions for features, can only have them repaired by the manufacturer or a licensed mechanic, etc.

I like EVs in principle, but I hate what capitalism is doing to them.

Website idea: a mashup of reddit and iFixit called “F these guys!” that surfaces/showcases 3d printable replacement parts and substitues for enshittified products. Things like replacement knobs for an oven, coat hooks, buttons for old stereos, car dashboard bits. Basically a pushback against planned obsolescence and the enshittification. Sure thingiverse and similar sites exist, but they are catch all. Difference here is a focused UI that encourages both models and replacement tutorials. Most stuff on Amazon is just plastic. The “vitamins” as the RepRap ppl call them are just a tiny portion of most manufactured goods. Website name is up for discussion. #3dPrinting #enshittification #maker #RightToRepair

I'm convinced that the real innovation and the creativity necessary to survive the impending catastrophe will never come from places like Silicon Valley. It doesn't shine and it doesn't have world design conferences. It will come instead from the alleys of marketplaces, mostly (but not only) in the Global South.

There's a thriving market in India for cheap laptops that are made by salvaging parts from several different PCs from different brands and stitching them together into a "new" laptop made from scraps, despite opposition from PC makers. #Refurbish #Reuse #Recycle #India #RightToRepair #Computers #Laptops theverge.com/tech/639126/india
