BMW’s latest “innovation” isn’t about performance or safety. It’s a logo-shaped screw designed to keep owners out of their own cars. We dug into the patent, the intent behind it, and why Adafruit is already working on a custom bit to undo BMW’s attempt to block repair. Learn more at the link below.

The Pixel Buds 2a teardown gave us whiplash. The buds are glued shut like a tiny escape room, but the charging case is one of the most repairable we have ever seen.

It's a tale of two products. One half looks like the team ran out of time and reached for the glue. The other feels like someone proudly whispered “what if we made it actually repairable” and then did exactly that. Read the full analysis at the link below.

Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) too

Liz Chamberlain explaining Right to Repair by sitting on a rock in front of a playground with a bicycle and set of tools. She says: "Right to Repair means you should be able to fix everything you own. Imagine your bike gets a flat tire. No problem, right? Just get a new tube or patch it up. But what if the bike company said, "Nope! You're not allowed to fix this yourself." They made a special tire that only they can sell, and they won't sell it to you. If you roll over a nail, you'd have to throw the whole bike away! That's not happening with most bikes yet, but it is happening with computers, and cell phones, and tractors, so Right to Repair is just about making sure you can fix all your stuff."

You’ve probably met Torx, the star-shaped screw that has become common in our phones, consoles, and cars. But have you met Torx Plus?

Sounds great, until you try to open your gadget and realize your trusty T5 doesn’t fit anymore.

The @frameworkcomputer Laptop 12 might be the most repair-friendly laptop we’ve ever opened. Seriously. It’s shockingly easy to take apart, and for a touchscreen convertible, that’s rare. It earned a 10/10 on our repairability scale thanks to clever engineering choices:

  • Screwless SSD clip.
  • Cable-free battery removal.
  • Clearly labeled mainboard.
  • QR codes on every major part.

@frameworkcomputer Desktop is just a small desktop PC…right? It sure is, but so is the Mac Studio. It’s tempting to critique both on their non-replaceable parts, but the performance we see from these machines depends on those soldered connections.

@frameworkcomputer What we end up with is essentially a new device category: a powerful PC with emerging technologies that'll hopefully mature to a point where upgradeability can be achieved. But Framework decided to package it as a mini desktop w/standard form factors, sticking to its ethos.
