Tokyo Outsider (337ppm)When are we going to standardise lithium ion battery sizes, like we did with nickel battery sizes, so that instead of having to throw away whole devices when they stop holding charge we can just replace them with another of a standard size?I think my portable speaker's rechargeable battery is probably not going to last too much longer. I use it every day. But how can it make sense to throw away a whole portable speaker when only the battery is the problem??<a href="https://mas.to/tags/rightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rightToRepair</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sustainability</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"In late May, Apple announced what seemed on its face to be a big, positive development for iPad owners: It was going to begin selling repair parts for iPads to the general public, which is a requirement of a series of new right-to-repair laws. “With today’s announcement, we’re excited to expand our repair services to more customers, enabling them to further extend the life of their products—all without compromising safety, security, or privacy,” Brian Naumann, Apple’s vice president of AppleCare, said in a press release announcing the move.The announcement was generally covered positively by the press: “Save Money, Make Your iPad Last Longer,” a Forbes headline read, for example. But independent repair professionals who have used the program told 404 Media that the prices Apple is charging for some repair parts are absurdly high, and that this functionally means that the iPad is as unrepairable as it has always been."<a href="https://www.404media.co/apple-is-selling-ipad-repair-parts-for-astronomical-prices/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.404media.co/apple-is-selling-ipad-repair-parts-for-astronomical-prices/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/iPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iPad</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Monopolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Monopolies</a>
