Apple has issued an emergency recall for the new Neo laptop after discovering a critical design flaw: it’s repairable.

Internal testing revealed the device contains replaceable parts and a battery that comes out without adhesive. Unacceptable for their standards.

The new MacBook Neo is the most repairable MacBook we’ve seen in 14 years. Screwed-in battery tray, modular ports, sensible layout, and day-one repair manuals. It’s not perfect, but it’s a real step forward for MacBook repair. Read the full breakdown at the link below.

BMW’s latest “innovation” isn’t about performance or safety. It’s a logo-shaped screw designed to keep owners out of their own cars. We dug into the patent, the intent behind it, and why Adafruit is already working on a custom bit to undo BMW’s attempt to block repair. Learn more at the link below.

What’s inside a disposable vape? A surprisingly good lithium battery… and a whole lot of wasted potential.

2ndChanceMND decided that was nonsense. They’re cracking open vapes, harvesting their power cells, and turning them into battery packs powering anything from cordless power tools to e-bikes. Learn more about them at the link below.

Forget the iPhone 17 teardown—this one’s gourd-geous. We cracked open a retro classic: the orange pumpkin.

Inside we found modular design, biodegradable materials, and some impressively simple repairability. After a quick cleaning and a few precision cuts, we had ourselves a working iFixit Jack-o-Lantern. Check out the full teardown at the link below.

Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) too

It's time to switch sides, and break away from this cycle of endless upgrades. Our new guide walks you through installing a Linux-based operating system—keeping your computer secure long after Microsoft walks away

@cmconseils We knew that sounded familiar...

Before you pre-order a new Apple device, consider repairing your current one. You can make it feel like new, save money, and keep another device from becoming e-waste. #AppleEvent #RighttoRepair

Imagine a future where you can always swap out broken parts instead of throwing the whole thing out. That's the future we want—and we're fighting for it.
