Right to Repair/Ownership

I'm considering this product, but I'd like to ideally be able to replace the battery myself. How difficult or easy is this? I haven't found a guide about them online yet

It's actually difficult to get info because ifixit doesn't have ratings on all models, sometimes it's just a guide. There's no top list, just a blog here and there, a video in another place

I have created my own list, based on ifixit:

Best Closed ANC

• Sony WF-1000XM3

Just a guitar pick and a screw driver gets you there, and they close back up like new. No rating, but it's the best closed in-ear

Best Open ANC

• Samsung Galaxy Buds Live

https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_Buds_Live

8/10 is the best score I've seen for ANY earphones

Best Closed

• Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Truly Wireless

https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_Buds_Plus

7/10 which is the best rating for an earbud

• Samsung Galaxy Buds

https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_Buds

6/10 which is previously the best earbud

After these four products, I haven't seen ANYTHING better. Any others I should add to the list?

Nicked a hose on my new dishwasher and had to repair it. In the app Bosch gives you the option to buy parts straight from them, with breakout illustrations showing each part to make sure you get the right one. Parts were extremely reasonable and came within 2 days. Could almost build the thing from spare parts! Best repair experience I’ve ever had.

Can't say anything bad about product quality, I've used this toothbrush for 4 years now and the battery still lasts for more than a month. I did treat it well though, almost never depleted the 9.36Wh cell or charged it completely to 100%. Just the USB cable was over 20 bucks when it was still available. Model is Oclean One.

Hi there, I'm from Singapore and I'm trying to fix the battery on a Samsung Galaxy Active3 smartwatch. However, I can't seem to find any sellers for replacements - Samsung doesn't seem to sell any non-appliance parts, iFixit doesn't ship outside the US, and I can't find any for sale online.

Besides this watch, I tried to replace the back glass on an old burner iPhone, and couldn't find a good enough replacement that would ship at a reasonable time, so I had to resort to AliExpress. The glass is fine, but the print on the back looks off, and the adhesive that came with it feels like it could come off at any moment. I was wondering if there are any distributors in Singapore/SEA that sell higher-quality spare parts? Thanks

So my left ear bud is having issues with the ambient sound pass through. Any nearby noise makes it click and pop. It's almost unusable at this point.

Has anyone had good luck with a repairing these?

I've been using Graphene OS for a while now and it feels like a miracle to have access to the play store yet not be so locked in with Google. Changes like the ones in the video make me worry that this is a flash in the pan and that Google will lock the play store into their Android for that sweet tracking data

Honestly, if we could upgrade the RAM in phones, I'd probably be fine with this one for a decade. (Or until they start making phones with qwerty keypads again.)

The auto industry has spent several years trying to dismantle efforts in Massachusetts to make auto repair more affordable and convenient. And they just got help from US auto safety regulators.
