John-Mark GurneyJust repaired an audio mixer. A reverse polarity diode was shorting the positive and negative rails. Easy to confirm it was the diode by clipping on lead of it and confirming that the rails aren't connected anymore.I'm more happy that the diode was both marked on the part and on the board, and that I happen to have a 4148 on hand to replace it with.Took maybe 5 minutes to fix it, more to remove the case and put it back in the case.<a href="https://flyovercountry.social/tags/repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairability</a>

JakraSo.... I've been running my dishwasher too cold in an attempt to save power... developed a fatberg in the drain line. That's an hour I won't get back, but at least it's fixed! Also, I replaced my laptop battery today rather than buying a new laptop (I bought the laptop BEFORE covid, but it's still going strong with Linux. Kinda surprised an HP ultrabook was that easy to replace the battery on! <a href="https://aus.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ReduceTechWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReduceTechWaste</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairability</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HP</a>

Hestia HackerHere are some lesser known differences between an open source <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IoT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IoT</a> project and a commercial IoT appliance:1. Support - <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> projects field questions. Actual humans, taking the time to understand your questions and answer them! 2. Repair - Again, people will help you fix things 3. Less <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> impact - Fewer things ending up in the landfill on account of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairability</a>, often times they have more localized production, less shipping, etc. 4. Customizability - <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> for the win

Ika MakimakiI'm sure there's an untapped market for "Dumb" tech. Bonus points for repairable, dumb tech.No AI assistants, no Internet connection, no DRM or login needed.Just a toaster that makes toast, a TV that plays only what you put in it, with repair kits, spare parts available, easy to reach guts and accessible schematics, diagrams and instructions.I know I'd buy no other brands if just one offered that to me.<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairability</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/DumbTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DumbTech</a>

David HembrowThis is the peak of bicycle technology.It's a bike which a local customer brought around yesterday because it's been a few years and she thought it was about time that someone had a look at it.I know it looks terribly old fashioned, but hear me out:This is a reasonably light-weight, efficient bike, with effective gearing and brakes. Nothing on it is unmaintainable.This bike came out of the factory in 1982 (May 1982 according to the stamp on the rear hub). It has admittedly had a fairly good life, always having been kept indoors, but it's been ridden a lot yet needed almost no work.The front rack had a broken non-essential part which I removed. The rubber strap / snelbinder over the rear carrier rack was broken so I replaced it, and the skirtguards were perished and falling apart so I replaced those as well. Otherwise, I've just checked that things were working and added a bit of oil. One of the pedals was running roughly until I oiled it.Bike shops don't sell bicycles like this any more. Modern bicycles are not designed to last a whole lifetime, like these were. <a href="https://www.dutchbikebits.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.dutchbikebits.com</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycle</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/repairability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairability</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/righttorepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#righttorepair</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/netherlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#netherlands</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/ProperBicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProperBicycle</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/NotAnEBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NotAnEBike</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/dutchbikebits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dutchbikebits</a>
