“The generator is down, and we don’t have enough ice to continue icing the remains of soldiers killed in action. How much longer, ma’am?” That’s the message I received while deployed to Balad, Iraq, as an Air Force second lieutenant. I was overseeing generators in theater, and the one powering the mortuary facility had failed. The clock was ticking. I didn’t have HVAC expertise or the necessary parts.

Apple now fully supports DIY device repairs in Canada

If you prefer to do your own repairs of Apple devices or to use independent shops, then it’s now easier to do so in Canada. Apple has today brought its self-service repair and genuine parts distributor programs to the country … DIY Apple device repairs Apple spent many years fighting right-to-repair legislation, spending money to lobby against it at both state and federal levels, either trying to block it altogether or – if it couldn’t manage that – to weaken the legislation as much as possib

My iPhone 17 Wish List Has Just One Item, and It's None of the Usual Suspects

We're now less than a month away from Apple unveiling the iPhone 17, if rumors are to be believed. I always look forward to this highlight of the tech calendar, especially since I've been writing about and primarily using an iPhone for well over a decade. When it comes to the 2025 iPhone, there's one thing I'd love to see Apple prioritize -- and it might not be what you expect. It's not a cool new design, a bigger battery or a more impressive camera.

Image by Getty / Futurism Genetics Gene editing has made huge leaps in recent years, such as treating the congenital blood disorders sickle cell anemia and beta thalassemia, which can require lifelong blood transfusions. But scientists still fear that some snipping may lead to unwelcome surprises. However, a research team led by the University of Zurich says that artificial intelligence could help.

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The International Trade Commission has decided to ban BOE’s OLED screens from the US. However, a display expert says companies like Apple and Google can still sell devices with BOE screens in the US. The ruling could adversely affect the repair market, though. The International Trade Commission (ITC) recently ruled that it would ban display maker BOE’s OLED screens from the US market. The ban, which isn’t final, could see BOE banned from the country for a

Teardown confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a repair nightmare, but maybe that’s the point

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-06 11:28:53

TL;DR iFixit gives the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 a pitiful repair score in its latest teardown. Fragile inner components, glued batteries, and a hard-to-replace screen make DIY fixes tough. It could be that the same design choices may help the phone survive extreme durability tests. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 impressed last week in JerryRigEverything’s notorious bend test, which is just as well.

Apple accused of inflating Self Service Repair prices to push new iPad purchases

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-12 02:24:08

Over the past few years, Apple has made some progress on self-service repairability, following years of criticism over how tightly it locks down its devices. Now, a new report questions how much Apple really is complying with right-to-repair regulations. Too expensive to be worth it In a 404 Media post out this week, independent repair professionals say Apple’s newly available iPad parts are so expensive, that they make repairs economically unviable. Their thesis is that Apple effectively wan

The military might finally win the right to repair

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-30 16:35:41

Senators Tim Sheehy and Elizabeth Warren have introduced a bipartisan bill to enshrine a right to repair for military equipment. The legislation, called the “Warrior Right to Repair Act,” would codify the right-to-repair provisions that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put in place through the Army Transformation and Acquisition Reform memorandum from April 30. The Department of Defense has not been immune from restrictive practices set forth by manufacturers, and much like the average consumer,

Dutch company Fairphone continues to lead the charge on consumer- and planet-friendly electronics, proving that a great phone doesn't have to be impossible to repair or environmentally unsustainable. The Fairphone 6 has just been released, coming two years after the last generation of the phone built to last.

MIT engineers use 3D-printed steel to repair corroded bridge

techspot.com Shawn Knight 2026-03-01 21:10:00

The big picture: According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, more than half of the 623,218 bridges in the US are in a state of significant deterioration. Getting them back in good standing would cost north of $191 billion – no small chunk of change. For researchers at MIT, finding a more cost-effective solution using modern technology is a worthy cause. Using a laser-based additive manufacturing technique called cold spray, the team successfully repaired a corroded section of a bridge

Apple and Lenovo had the lowest laptop repairability scores in an analysis of recently released devices from consumer advocacy group US Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund. While Apple's low marks are partially due the difficulty involved in disassembling MacBooks, Lenovo appears to be withholding information from shoppers deemed critical to right-to-repair legislation and accessibility.
