@FrankDonato28 Clearly my ignorance is showing. Thought MacBooks were fairly high-value (solid aluminum block vs. mixed plastic bodies of many laptops) and unlikely to get sent downstream. Recyclers that are passing on them don't have the facilities to extract value? Or what?

[Elizabeth Chamberlain @Liz_iFixit]

@byjacksonchen Thanks for the Air teardown coverage! Couldn't find an email address for you, but shoot me a note ([email protected]) if you want to get on my pre-release embargoed teardown deets update list. Pro is on the teardown table now!

[Lucas Rockett Gutterman 🚀 @LG_Rocket]

Ever you ever bought tech that should still work but then the manufacturer stopped providing updates or cut server support?

🪦 Our new electronic waste graveyard lists over 100 products launched in the last decade which met an untimely end when they became obsolete.

We celebrated by fixing Chromebooks and Pixels at @maker_nexus in Sunnyvale, with students from the Oakland Unified School District Tech Repair Internship (here, students Steven Mossman and Nathan Ruby, plus me and Google's Prem Pandian; image credit Ben Lohrentz)

Happy Repair Independence Day! As of today, 20% of Americans are covered by electronics #RightToRepair laws.

[Elizabeth Chamberlain @Liz_iFixit]

If you live in California, Minnesota, or New York, you can ask manufacturers to give you access to the same parts, tools, and documentation they give their authorized repair shops. And if they don't? Report 'em to the Attorney General. Check out https://t.co/TaoEUKJO6I for tips.

Artist-provocateur @thevonwong is taking on #ewaste and #righttorepair with this awesome new exhibit in Arcadia Earth. Anyone in Toronto should go check it out, but for the rest of us, they've got a great BTS on YouTube: https://t.co/kgZ1HFbyw8

[Californians Against Waste @cawrecycles]

📱Big news! #CALeg is on the verge of making history by voting YES on #SB244 for the #RightToRepair.

It's time to take control of our gadgets and reduce electronic waste 🛠️💪 #RepairRevolution #RightToRepairAct #ElectronicRepair #EWaste @iFixit @CALPIRG @SenSusanEggman

[CALPIRG @CALPIRG]

Californians generate over 500 lbs of e-waste every 10 seconds. We can reduce waste by giving consumers what they need to repair rather than replace our stuff. #RightToRepair @SenSusanEggman @cawrecycles @iFixit @EFF @uspirg @CALPIRGStudent

It's hot, the ice cream machines are broken, and you can blame copyright. I explain why over at @FastCompany https://t.co/qudKd5RcQZ

[Elizabeth Chamberlain @Liz_iFixit]

Just had a great chat with Arianna Medel from @SenGonzalez33's office. Senator Gonzalez has supported Right to Repair two years in a row, and we're counting on her support again this year!

[Elizabeth Chamberlain @Liz_iFixit]

Yes, @latimes! The new anti-trash mantra SHOULD be reduce, recycle — and repair. That’s why we’re meeting with California state senators today about passing #RightToRepair laws like #SB244 https://t.co/2VhRd0tIK0

@RepairCafePorts @iFixit We love supporting repair cafes. Shoot me an email, and I'll put you in touch with our outreach team! [email protected]

The New York legislature just sent the @GovKathyHochul their hugely popular Right to Repair bill. She has until the end of the year to sign—or veto.

[Right to Repair Europe @R2REurope]

🚨We want clear information on #RepairToRepair for our phones

📱On Friday, national experts will meet to rubberstamp new energy labelling rules for smartphones & tablets

❌We celebrate the introduction of an EU repair index, but price of spare parts is missing from its criteria
