[edit: got help on the headphone parts hunt, thanks!]

On a related note, any AV nerds that can point me to where I can order replacement parts for these Bowers and Wilkins headphones?

It's got a nice click in and out cord, and squishy pads that pop off. Should all be fixable, but it's not my wheelhouse and my cog is trashed so searching this stuff out shreds my brain.
I'm in Canada, fyi re shipping etc.
Links and leads appreciated.

as much as I don't like my mom's laptop from 2019 it's actually fully upgradable.

sata ssd to replace the spinning rust, ram upgrade, and it'll get another 5-6 years (so long as it doesn't get dropped)

and new battery too. all for like $100 instead of whatever a new decent mid-range laptop goes for these days.

#RightToRepair could not have come sooner.

"The economic turmoil and uncertainty makes the prospect of buying a new device, especially an already pricey smartphone, laptop, or gaming console, seem like it’s going to become a lot more expensive. And if buying something new becomes harder and harder, it makes more sense to keep what you already have going strong."

Website idea: a mashup of reddit and iFixit called “F these guys!” that surfaces/showcases 3d printable replacement parts and substitues for enshittified products. Things like replacement knobs for an oven, coat hooks, buttons for old stereos, car dashboard bits. Basically a pushback against planned obsolescence and the enshittification. Sure thingiverse and similar sites exist, but they are catch all. Difference here is a focused UI that encourages both models and replacement tutorials. Most stuff on Amazon is just plastic. The “vitamins” as the RepRap ppl call them are just a tiny portion of most manufactured goods. Website name is up for discussion. #3dPrinting #enshittification #maker #RightToRepair

India’s repair culture gives new life to dead tech

> Singh recalls a young engineering student who visited his shop last year, desperate for a laptop to complete his coursework. “He had saved up for months but was still short of money. I put together a machine for him from spare parts, and he left with tears in his eyes. That is when you know this work matters.”

…Unless I am misremembering or misconstruing, I infer my phone was

- made in 2018
- entered the UK sales chain in 2019
- was ‘purchased’ by me in 2021
- is becoming more and more flaky in 2025

I just got a spam email offering to help me upgrade to iPhone 16. But I don’t want an iPhone 16.

I want Apple to sell plans to make their phones last as long as possible. But of course they won’t. They have unintelligent Apple intelligence to foist upon the world

@jack_daniel If I had the money and the connections, I’d love to make a business out of stripping out and replacing computerized automotive electronics with open hardware replacements. Realistically, I think home appliances are probably an easier start, given what resources exist in my area, but perhaps elsewhere someone who already does EV conversions can retrofit #RightToOwn electronics replacements as part of the process.

Given the Trump regime will keep driving up prices of every passenger vehicle but the swasticar until the populace compels Congress to take back the tariff power, the retrofit market is likely to grow, as Right to Own and #RightToRepair are intrinsically linked.
