Special shoutout to the repair site iFixit who are now on the Fediverse, you can follow them at:

➡️ @iFixit

They provide repair forums and free repair guides for phones, computers, consoles, kitchen equipment, tools, medical devices, cars etc. They also review and tear down new gadgets to see how repairable they are.

Repairing your existing stuff is much, much better for the environment than buying replacements.

We. Love. Modular. Ports.

Did you know that MacBooks have modular USB-C ports? All that Thunderbolt speed goes straight through a small press connector. Impressive!

Better yet, if you break a port, your expensive logic board's safe and sound.

Why doesn't every laptop do this?!

MacBook sitting upside down on a white table with its bottom cover removed. Tweezers are holding the MacBook's two left-side USB-C ports slightly above the laptop. The USB-C ports are a discrete PCB with an integrated ribbon cable that terminates in a wide press connector that connects to the logic board.
