[14:45] schestowitz[TR3] If hardware actually came with schematics and documentation how to use it, there would be massively less waste. [14:45] schestowitz[TR3] repair shops would then exist at another level [14:45] schestowitz[TR3] and reduce purchasing [14:45] schestowitz[TR3] atm it's cheaper to buy new "sweatshop stuff" [14:45] schestowitz[TR3] and blackboxes [14:45] schestowitz[TR3] same for shoes [14:45] Righty You wouldn't even need repair shops, just to visit a hackerspace or someones garage. [14:46] schestowitz[TR3] yesterday i went through piles of old shoes of mine [14:46] schestowitz[TR3] they are using material that are hard to do repair on [14:46] schestowitz[TR3] not even real rubber [14:46] Righty Shoes are really garbage considering how easily they wear out and leave microplastics everywhere. [14:46] schestowitz[TR3] sometimes i use some superglue [14:46] schestowitz[TR3] but that doesn't last long that way [14:46] Righty You can get shoes made out of discarded tires and well they last forever. [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] it's the way they are put together [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] same for laptops [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] my old lllaptop was large [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] and thick [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] so when opened you can see what goes where [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] then apple with "air" nonsense... [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] they made things harder [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] too tight [14:47] Righty The hinge seems to always fail on laptops, as the hinge screws go into plastic [14:47] schestowitz[TR3] because repair is not a consideration [14:48] schestowitz[TR3] for shoes, there are no pieces [14:48] schestowitz[TR3] it's like everything is integrated [14:48] schestowitz[TR3] so you cannot fix piecewiseeeeee [14:48] schestowitz[TR3] it is frustrating to try [14:48] Righty If you choose a black circuit board, of course it's designed to resist repair (good luck seeing anything without an expensive microscope). [14:48] schestowitz[TR3] i fixed my own laptop as a teen [14:49] schestowitz[TR3] opened it [14:49] schestowitz[TR3] bought the part that were defective [14:49] schestowitz[TR3] from rc components [14:49] schestowitz[TR3] and replaced [14:49] schestowitz[TR3] and got the needed ssscredrivers [14:49] schestowitz[TR3] the shop wanted ttto replace the whole thing [14:49] schestowitz[TR3] for the price of the laptop [14:50] Righty I did try to replace the fan on a laptop, but the fan connector refused to come out even when I pulled so hard on the wires that they pulled themselves out. I ended up just re-pasting it and well it worked somewhat fine even without a fan. [14:51] Righty Laptops etc seem to use the most garbage thermal paste that is greatly outperformed by the cheapest paste you can get your hands on. [14:51] *psydroid3 (~psydroid@8p6k6zizq5nqc.irc) has joined #techrights [14:52] Righty Much better cooling improvements can apparently be achieved via polishing the copper surfaces to a mirror finish too. [14:54] *Righty just remembered that intel was guilty of using the worst possible thermal paste in their CPUs instead of the typical solder and the typical intel "fan" would go and say "just delid and delap it" (yes, cut the IHS glue off, replace the garbage paste, re-attach the IHS and then polish it flat).
