@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.

To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:

• They have #SolderedDownRAM even on P-Series #Workstation machines, not just cheap cheap #Lenovo consoomer devices.

• Batteries ain't toolfree-swappable anymore!

• #WWAN modules are worse (i.e. #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360)

• #Linux support gets worse and neither Lenovo nor @ubuntu feel responsible on a "#Ubuntu-certified Workstation" (i.e. #P15v)

• Less & Worse #Docking options.

• Most machines don't offer Linux or to eveb to opt-out of #Govware noone should pay their overcharged premium for (in fact #Microsoft pays Lenovo $25 for every #Windows #preinstall so they don't ship Linux, they don't even pay the $10 for an #OEM-#UEFI-Key, much less the $135+ of a #SystemBuilder version they charge for!)

• ...

Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!

@jacqueline yeah, The @frameworkcomputer #FrameworkDesktop is a major let-down to me because it's just a "shittier #MacStudio" and #SolderedDownRAM is not excuseable at that form factor!

• Seriously, just no!

@dw_innovation and that's also added by #AntiRepairDesign by all the #GAFAMs that do imacceptable stuff like #SolderedDownStorage, #SolderedDownRAM, #GluedInBatteries and #RivetedKeyboards that have no reason to exist except fleecing customers by overcharging them for more #Szorage & #RAM as well as enshuring #Repairability is twarted below cost-effective.

• #RightToRepair must not only be enacted as a hard #law with severe penalties and wide-ranging demands for companies, but also must #AntiRepair-#Design be outlawed.

And don't even get me started on #MamfacturedEwaste like #AI #Chips and #ASIC|s for #Shitcoins like #Bitcoin which are inherently #unsustainable and unlike #CPU|s, #GPU|s and other #UsedHardware not really #refurbishable and #recycle-able or even #upcycle-able beyond being "the most complex, noisy and inefficient space heaters possible"...

• Whereas a old #PC or #Laptop or even #Tablet can be somewhat repurposed to do something, even if it's just as #DIY #HomeLab #IT or as #GiveAway to those that need one but can't afford even a commercially #refurbished unit.

@OpenComputeDesign same with many other things.

• #GluedInBatteries instead of #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries are just an #excuse for #AntiRepairDesign. points at #Vaio #P11Z & #Fairphone #FP3plus

• #SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownSSDs were never valid outside #EmbeddedDevices that need to survive harsh envoirments. points at a rugged, ATEX-certified PTT radio for industrial plants

• #Repairability saves lives! points at Medical Devices

• Want to have more #battery #runtime? We have solutions for that for decades. points at #EeePC and a tool-free, swappable, #aftermarket, high-capavity battery

Personally I'm so pissed off amidst the ongoing #Enshittification that I really need to get the #NUCbook off the ground before my #X230tablet dies.

• Tho if I had to choose a #Laptop right now that I can buy in stores I'd pick the @frameworkcomputer / #Framework13 hands-down because it's (sadly!) the by far best #Notebook in terms of #repairability & #maintainability!

@RayuDW Yeah...

IMHO, #GluedInBattieries that are not #ToolfreeSwappable, #SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownFlash should be outlawed.

There's no legitimate reason to put #design and #AntiRepair before #Repairability - certainly not with #consumer hardware that isn't #ATEX-certified nor expected to retain water-tightness at 50m depth after being shot at with a .357 Maximum...

@MichaelRoss yeah, and like with #GluedInBatteries, #SolderedDownRAM, #SolderedOnSSDs and #NoHeadphoneJack I'll refuse to buy that garbage as a matter of principle until it dies out!

@MattKC The only thing worse are #GluedInBatteries, #SolderedDownRAM and espechally #SolderedInSSDs...

Those three things should be illegal as #ReducedLifecycle & #AntiRepairDesign...
