iFixit
iFixit is a global community of people helping each other repair things. Our site hosts 100,000+ free repair manuals for all kinds of stuff written by staff, students, and community members. We want to empower everyone to fix every thing. Leading manufacturers trust us for DIY repair service support like understanding and improving product repairability, building self-service repair ecosystems, distributing parts to customers, writing top-notch repair documentation, and much more. Part of our mission is making sure repair is accessible to everyone, which means we're fierce advocates for the Right to Repair—laws that ensure anyone can get the parts, tools, and documentation they need to fix their stuff. We're also ardent supporters of independent repair professionals and businesses. iFixit Pro connects repair pros with quality parts and tools at prices that make sense for them. And we're working on training the next generation of fixers through the iFixit Pro Repair Academy. iFixit EDU and the iFixit Foundation focus on teaching technical writing skills to the next generation of fixers, tinkerers, and engineers. We cover a lot of ground in pursuit of our mission, and we're always looking for people to join us. Whether you're an OEM, retailer, professor, repair professional, or anyone else who wants to be part of our movement, get in touch.www.ifixit.com

Myke HurleyHOST
I feel like that's interesting.
Stephen HackettHOST
I can't wait for the iFixit teardown of that and see those little things move around.
Myke HurleyHOST
It's going
Stephen HackettHOST
to be awesome.
Imran ShaikhHOST
Trump Mobile's execs previously said that the $499 price tag was just introductory and that buyers could be paying $1,000 for it in the future.
Imran ShaikhHOST
Take note that an iFixit teardown had revealed that the phone is not made in the USA, which Trump Mobile initially claimed, and is pretty much a reskinned version of an HTC handset.
Imran ShaikhHOST
Microsoft and the American Federation of Teachers have reached a deal that establishes privacy and safety protections regarding the use of AI in schools.
Imran ShaikhHOST
That's according to a report by Politico.
OwenPANELIST
Almost ran out of breath before I burned you there.
TonyHOST
So the previous model, the 6, received a perfect 10 for repairability from iFixit.
TonyHOST
Wow.
TonyHOST
There you go.
Myke HurleyHOST
I feel like that's interesting.
Stephen HackettHOST
I can't wait for the iFixit teardown of that and see those little things move around.
Myke HurleyHOST
It's going

Ben YukoHOST
Let's take a look at...
Ben YukoHOST
Here's one of our friends that put on the iFixit here.
Ben YukoHOST
The repair specialist said the new system was separate from its familiar teardown scores of a large array of devices based on factors such as disability, parties, and documents themselves.
Ben YukoHOST
The NS project is intended to be one of the more formal repeatable standards that can be used in all fixed-end repair.
Nathan EdwardsCORRESPONDENT
It is the first Fairphone to officially launch in the US, and it's designed to be repaired cheaply and easily at home.
Nathan EdwardsCORRESPONDENT
iFixit gives it a 10 out of 10 for repairability, and Allison gives it an eight out of 10 for being a phone.
Nathan EdwardsCORRESPONDENT
It's a good phone.
Nathan EdwardsCORRESPONDENT
Speaking of phones, Rani Molla has a report on the site about why phones and computers and lots of other things are getting more expensive.
Chandler HattonGUEST
So it's mostly about the way that we actually make these design decisions and the way that we make the trade-offs.
Daniel BaderHOST
Yeah, I've watched enough iFixit videos to know how frustrating it is when the technician has to use like multiple screwdriver types.
Will SattelbergHOST
Yeah.
Daniel BaderHOST
Because one is a Phillips and one's a Torx and one's a different size.
MeganHOST
Yeah.
ColleenHOST
And then from ifixit.com, uh, through r/etymology, um, while it's easy to assume that troubleshoot simply means, simply just means to shoot trouble, it isn't meant literally, at least not anymore.
ColleenHOST
One Wikipedia editor argues that back during the days when railroads, telegraph lines, and telephone lines were being built across the United States, companies would hire vigilantes to guard their construction zone and shoot anyone sneaking in and causing trouble.
MeganHOST
Okay.
Jérôme DenisGUEST
Well, that's a good question.
Jérôme DenisGUEST
Again, I really think that all the work of the Repair Association, the Restart Project, iFixit and all that is really connected, as you just said.
Jérôme DenisGUEST
I think there are at least two answers to this question.
Jérôme DenisGUEST
The first one, as I just said, is that it's more, in a way, dramatic, spectacular.
Ted SalmonHOST
Yes, yes.
Ted SalmonHOST
Then they're deserving of a gold star because that could easily have been a right royal cock-up, couldn't it? Ed House's next one, iFixit.
Ted SalmonHOST
The contributors putting their repair guides onto the site and the site store for providing good quality replacement parts for phones, laptops and things to repair devices.
Ted SalmonHOST
I used to use the site back in the old days for fixing Nokias, Blackberries and iPhones, says Ed.
