@BrideOfLinux which makes sense, cuz I remember #Mandrake & #Mandriva as being nice...

And yes @e_mydata / #eOS is good.

Now if #Fairphone gives me a real #DualSIM phone then I'd consider upgrading from my #Fairphone3Plus

As much as I still despise #Apple's #AntiRepairDesign and #SolderedDownRAM which has no legitimate excuse, the #MacMiniM4 at least doesn't have #SolderedDownSSDs anymore so #Upgrades and #Repair on that part that WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME AND USE is getting cheaper.

@OhMyGod @bsi @BNetzA @BMWK @EUCommission @digitalcourage ja, weil under #ARM64-Mobilgeräten kein standarditisierter Hartdwaretree vorliegt und alle #Integratoren und #SoC-Vendoren irgendwelche shice zusammenkoksen!

Ich bin ja für #RightToRepair, #RightToAPI, Verbot.von #Digitalzwang und #Supportpflicht für Hersteller samt Zwangs-#OpenSource-Lizensierung nach #Supportende!

@vfrmedia @tikibunnyimports granted #KeiCar manufacturers in #Japan know that #AntiRepairDesign will harm them espechally (ut not only!) domestically even if they didn't gave a shit about #tuning or the entire #Itasha scene...

@Okanogen my only gripe is #AntiRepairDesign & #AntiRepairDRM with *obviously spiteful decisions by the folks who created something to make repairs artifically complex and error-prone and thus risky as well as costly.

  • Shit like #SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownSSDs for example should be outlawed for anything that isn't some space-faring, to-be-implanted and/or explosive atmosphere - certified device which have "legitimate reasons" to do something like that.

Also can we all give #JBL props for doing the right thing and owe up to a known design defect by offering affected customers free parts for self-repair?

IMHO this is literal computer sabotage and I sincerely hope someone affected will press charges against #Apple and forcing them to either remove "#ActivationLock" or #Unban #iPhone|s they remote-bricked!

@pjf this is intentional #AntiRepairDesign as most people won't even try that!

@icedquinn @flower exactly and don't even get me started on #AntiRepairDesign:

Worst-cade ob a regular 3,5mm headset with removeable cables: One gets a new cable!

@stman @theruran @50htz @vidak given #Apple beibg able and willing to integrate #Govware #Backdoors in #iCloud and #iPhone|s sold in "P.R." #China I'd be wary re: Apple's #security claims.

@agatha they certainly.made it 20% less #repairable because #Apple is #AntiRepairDesign and #AntiRepair in general…

@paul they certainly raised RAM with the MacMini 8,1 to 8GB and M4 to 16 GB...

@9to5Mac it is easy.

@IrrsinnHilft @mavo werd' ich auch nie und habe ich auch nie!

  • Priblem ist dass solches #AntiRepairDesign überhaupt erlaubt wird, gerade weil keine "Legitimen Begründungen" wie ATEX-Zertifizierung oder Druckwasserdichtigkeit vorliegen!

@mavo +9001%

Das #AntiRepairDesign welches #Apple pioniert und pushed (inklusive #DRM auf #Ersatzteile samt #Malware zum "Abschluss der Reparatur") muss knallhart gefrontet werden - und zwar gesetzlich.

Alles andere wäre #eWaste-Förderung und den #Klimaziele|n zuwiderlaufend!

@doskel even more so since Manufacturers like #Apple decided to push #AntiRepairDesign and solder down both #RAM & #SSD for no reason but to rip off customers at the purchase!

@GeoffWozniak @cyberpunklibrarian And that "#ThrowawayCulture" really disgusts me personally, because it's going completely against my grain.

The problem is that #AntiRepairDesign like that spearheaded by #Apple is being allowed to exist, when it has no legitimate reason to exist!
