Alt text: Spongebob screaming “I fucking love right to repair. I want to fucking excercise my legal right to maintain my property to reduce electronic waste and save money instead of supporting planned obsolescence in the technology space” with an iFixit knife and smartphone in his hands.
I swear, I feel more at home here than on reddit.
framework 👀👀👀👀👀
I don’t need a laptop for my work but christ does framework make me want one lol
It’s wild how bad it was for awhile. People at the time complained about like iPods or old smartphones being repair unfriendly and, to be fair, they were. However, because of how hard newer phones are to repair, you see some people opine for those days and buy older devices to repair.
The Aptera Solar EV is all about right to repair! 80% of all maintenance can be done with an allen wrench! You can also change out any of the components you see fit to alter. Sooo cool!!
That’s absolutely amazing, but looking at a pic online it looks exactly like the Droplet from 3BP lmao.
I’m not familiar with 3BP’s design process for the Droplet, but Aptera’s design is 100% based on aerodynamics. Aptera’s engineering team is amazing and as long as it made sense regarding wind resistance, it was selected. The trunk can become a tent with the Aptera too, pretty ingenious.
that’s amazing!!
also sorry, should have been more clear- 3BP (“Three Body Problem”) is a sci-fi series getting a Netflix adaptation soon, and there is a type of space probe called a Droplet that is tear-shaped and perfectly reflective
