Washington State consumers will gain ‘right to repair’ cellphones, other electronics https://www.seattletimes.com/business/technology/wa-consumers-will-gain-right-to-repair-cellphones-other-electronics/ #righttorepair #seattle #Washingtonstate #uslaw #uspol
No lazy Sunday afternoon: fixing my wife's Galaxy A14 phone by replacing the fubar (touch)screen which had begun sensing touches that didn't happen.
That meant that, if you could manage to even get through the security prompt to the home screen, it would begin randomly executing apps and performing functions as if there was malware searching for something.
We investigated an authorized repair shop, but they wanted us to wait a week for a part they didn't have and pay $150 for a less-than-$20 part and less-than-30-minute job.
So instead I ordered the part from Amazon and am performing free labor. I may in fact find that it;s loose contacts from the touchscreen and the replacement part isn't needed.
Unser #Staubsauger ging gestern plötzlich nicht mehr richtig und roch ziemlich stark. Dank Internet war die Ursache (verklemmte Kohlebürste) schnell gefunden und Reparatur dank YouTube in 30 min gemacht. Leider werden solche Geräte meist entsorgt und neu gekauft, weil eben nichts im System eine Reparatur von Geräten fördert.

@copter_chief godspeed in your healing journey. Some words of advice:
Latest anticancer protocol calls for VERY GRADUAL dosage increase until reaching 5X the patient's weight in daily MG of COMBINED cannabinoids (not just THC). A 60 Kg patient should aim to consume and maintain 300 MG of daily cannabinoids. It should be in 3 daily doses of 100 MG in each meal to generate sufficient metabolic pressure. Start with 10-20 MG each night and gradually increase the dose/add the other doses over a couple of weeks to acclimate the body.
Prefer FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) whose solvent has been slowly evaporated below 55°C or ROSIN oil (then partly decarbed in double boiler for 25 minutes at 90°C). Both contain up to 60% cannabinoids as well as some of the flower's original terpenes, which are lost in other forms of extraction. Not only are they more effective as anticancer agents, but their psychotropic effect is less severe.
I recommend a 1:1 balanced flower or a blend of two strains, one CBDA/CBD rich and other THCA/THC rich. If heated excessively or for too long, as per the original RSO recipe from 20 years, the acidic forms of THCA and CBDA are lost. Latest research has proven their anticancer, antiemetic, anxiolytic, antiinflammatory, and even neuroprotective effect through pathways different from THC/CBN.
RSO Rick Simpson Oil recipes overcook and leave nothing but THC and CBN (oxidized THC), requiring incapacitating megadoses of 2,000 MG/day. CBD-deficient "recreational" cannabis will lack modulation. Non #Stoner patients risk anxiety attacks/paranoia. Start low, increase slowly and use the right stuff.
Vaping doesn't generate enough metabolic pressure for anticancer effect. It will reduce nausea and pain quickly, but it's palliative. Smoking destroys half the medicine and generates nasty toxins.

The retro computing renaissance: why old tech is new again
https://www.xda-developers.com/the-retro-computing-renaissance-why-old-tech-is-new-again
"A bias against cannabis still exists today. While the roots of weed prohibition have many unfortunate layers, storytelling played a huge role in negative public opinion around the plant. Some publications continue to feed into the modern version of “Reefer Madness,” what I call Reefer Madness 2.0. One article from a respected legacy publication just last year centered on how to get your neighbor evicted for smelling like weed. Not only is this type of storytelling cruel and inhumane (what if they are a medical patient, or a child with epilepsy?), most importantly, it’s not based on science."
Nice sunday read. The article goes on to propose to 1. Reframe Weed As Wellness, 2. Lean On Peer-Review Studies and 3. Dare To Question Existing Tech Platforms (and censorship). It advocates for invite-only discord grow diaries, yet fails to mention the #fediverse and #mastodon as great tools to keep #freedomofexpression and #humanrights going.
Lets get that corrected. Help me share this and let Rolling Stone know about our existence.

Today I swapped out the battery in my Pebble Time Steel. After nearly 10 years in use, its original battery only lasted about 36 hours. I actually bought a replacement battery and Tesa tape from @iFixit last year, but balked at cracking the case until my friend with a better soldering iron (and more experience wielding it) was free to help. On my own, I surely would have made a mess of the battery flex cable contact points. But it came through the procedure in perfect shape, now (hopefully) with a new lease on life! I'm reasonably confident I can perform the same transplant on our other Pebbles (my spouse and kid both wear one too).
Huge thanks to Aadi B. for his great walkthrough at https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Pebble+Time+Steel+Battery+Replacement/164426!

#RightToRepair in #Connecticut just passed in the House and Senate.
Applies to products first sold in Connecticut after July 1, 2026.
Manufacturers must make docs, parts, and tools available for at least 3-5 years after EoL.
However, this "right-to-repair" bill does NOT apply to equipment built for "non-road use". So, basically farm equipment. Which makes this a somewhat pointless right-to-repair bill.

Kännykkämaailma muuttuu kolmen viikon päästä isolla kädellä
Euroopan Unionin uusi Ecodesign-lainsäädäntö astuu voimaan 20.6. ja se vaatii mm. sen, että kaikkiin uusiin kännyköihin täytyy taata ohjelmistopäivitykset vähintään viiden vuoden ajan.
Vaatimus iskee etenkin halpoihin kännyköihin, joiden päivityslupaus on ollut yleensä kahden vuoden luokkaa.

I fixed my printer! My old Samsung C460W printer recently started to smell really bad when printing, frequently had paper jams, and would occasionally take a ridiculously long time to print, until eventually it stopped. At one point I pulled 3 sheets of paper out, one of which was shredded, and most of them printed on both sides, despite this being a single-sided printer (I still don't understand how that's possible).
Of course I could just accept that it'd dead and buy a replacement, but why not try to fix it? Lots of stuff is much more fixable than people think, so I looked up some videos about how to open up this model, and then postponed this for a couple of weeks.
But last night I decided to at least open it up, so I could have a look at the insides today. Opening and disassembling it is not that hard. My theory was that either the fuser unit (the part that fuses the toner to the paper) was dirty or damaged. Replacing it would cost EUR 55, but maybe there's just some easily removable scraps of that shredded sheet on it.(Note: I had no idea what a fuser unit even was before I started on this. All of this is easily learnable.)
Turns out there was a sheet of paper wrapped around the fuser. That's not supposed to happen. But the fuser has a wheel that you can turn to slowly unwind the paper. Once removed, put everything back together, connect it, start it up, run a print, and it prints like new. Quickly, no smell, perfect quality. So now I know how to repair another thing.
Only black & white instead of colour, but I think that's a Linux issue and not my printer's fault.
Had the immense pleasure of a chat with Steven Nickel at Google about his passion for #RightToRepair and how they’re making #repair more accessible — from Repair Mode, building products for repair & repairability indexes.
I hope you enjoy it.
New, by me, for @TechFinitive
#Fairphone fiel in der Früh auf die Schnauze.
Display zeigte nichts mehr an.
Aufschrauben mit #IFixIt Set, bissl Reinigung, zusammenschrauben, kein Schrauben übrig.
Akku rein, Einschalten.
Läuft wieder.
#RightToRepair geht auch einfach easy
Hat jemand (in #berlin) vielleicht einen Ladekabel für eine alte #Pebble Smartwatch, den ich eine weile ausleihen kann?
Ich hab eine Pebble bekommen, die anscheinend nicht mehr funktioniert (aber was genau kaputt ist, ist noch nicht klar), es gibt leider keinen Ladekabel dazu.
Die Uhr hat leider keinen USB-C (oder Micro USB) Anschluss, sondern einen Spezialanschluss, sehe nächste toot. Zwar kann ich eine von Amazon bestellen, aber wenn eine*r mir einen Kabel leihen könnte wäre das super! Dann kann ich erstmal herauszufinden, ob ich es überhaupt reparieren kann. (Und ob es sich lohnt mir später einen Kabel zu kaufen...)
