The glass display panel had been adhered to the back panel with a thin, foam adhesive tape. Nothing else at all, no bezel or screws. To open the TV, I'd cut through it with one of the blue #iFixit guitar picks. I don't have any of the original tape on hand, so instead I went with a temporary-but-functional solution: blue painter's tape. Not my proudest fix, but I'll take it.
Because it all works!
The HMD Fusion is full of possibilities.
It can be a barcode scanner, mobile gaming console, workhorse, or minimalist daily driver; just by swapping the back. And if HMD hasn’t made the outfit you need? They provide the resources to make your own. This is what mass customization looks like!
Add in an IP54 rating, easily repairable design, and a starting price under $300? Yeah. We’re impressed.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is thinner than a pencil and almost as durable. Samsung pulled off some clever engineering to cram flagship specs into this wafer-thin casing. But at what cost?
Thermal throttling?
Battery exposed to long-term heat stress?
Adhesive-heavy display removal?
Despite a win on battery and port repair, this phone is a mixed bag. The Edge looks sharp, but if you’re planning to keep it for the long haul, you might feel the heat.

Can we get a big Texas yeehaw?!
The Lone Star State just signed the seventh state Right to Repair law for electronics. It’s also the first electronics repair law to pass in a state led by a Republican, but we’re only surprised it took this long.
We’ve always seen broad bipartisan support for these bills. Repair isn’t red or blue. It’s just common sense.

It seems that #energy #efficiency improved quite a bit.
This, plus the slightly larger #battery boosted #batteryLife compared to #fairphone5 
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? It's the high-tech upgrade nobody told you about: straighter walls, zero cam-out, and way more torque transfer. Sounds great, until you try to open your gadget and realize your trusty T5 doesn’t fit anymore.
We explain the difference between Torx and Torx Plus on our blog: https://www.ifixit.com/News/110702/torx-plus-the-high-tech-screw-hiding-in-our-gadgets

Hat jemand von euch Erfahrung mit Ersatzakkus für Macbooks? Mein Macbook Pro M1 Pro (wer kam auf den Namen?) von 2021 schreit nach einem neuen Akku und die Laufzeit ist auf ca. 3 Stunden runter.
Der Akkutausch bei Apple kostet lustige 289€, von iFixit gibt's ein Kit für 120€ und von einigen Ersatzakkuhändlern (in Deutschland) ab 50€. Selbst den Akku austauschen ist kein Problem für mich.
Freue mich über eure Tips und Erfahrungsberichte.

I have this #Google #Pixel8. Stock. Up to date.
I changed its screen this morning.
(Thanks #iFixIt!)
Afterward, I needed to calibrate the #FingerPrintReader.
To do so, I headed to the official Google website, connected my phone, just to learn that it's too up to date to be setted up.
#WTF Google
Eight years. Countless complaints. And Nintendo still hasn’t fixed Joy-Con drift.
