Cyberdecks: Why People Are Building Their Own Computers Again in an Age of AI, Automation, and Digital Fatigue - Interconnected Earth In an age of AI and digital fatigue, more people are turning to Cyberdecks, building their own computers to both disconnect and reconnect with technology.

Cyberdeck culture is growing for a reason. People are tired of locked-down devices, subscriptions, and platforms they don’t control. So they’re building their own computers—something personal, something human again. buff.ly/1cej6hX

A century of hair clippings show lead exposure rates have plummeted There’s no safe level of exposure to lead—but a small, strange study shows we’ve made incredible progress in recent decades

Your catalog demands a $1,400 entire-spine replacement for a simple pivot failure that we can't order in Mexico!

To make it worse, this failure matches Recall 21S54 exactly, but our VIN isn't "flagged." We just want to repair our gear and keep moving!

Psion Siena case clip partial repair (experimental, hence the rather ugly tape)

Psion Siena case repair (closed)

Siena repair - not pretty, but this is proof-of-principle - I will tidy it up with proper tape.

A dinky wee Psion Siena in all its retrocomputing / permacomputing glory - look at the layout of the number buttons! It's a fantastic little programmable scientific calculator, running EPOC16 - the operating system for the incredible Psion Series 3+ range of handheld computers from the 1990s

A few more Psion Siena repairs - tape for proof of principle - I'll be tidying this up in due course (with bookbinding tape - my fave). I'm starting to like the Siena again - it's limited, but dinky, super portable and crazy retro. #Psion #Retrocomputing #Permacomputing #RightToRepair

EPA Affirms Farmers’ Right to Repair The agency issued new guidance on a Biden-era policy, which prohibits manufacturers from using environmental laws to prevent repair work.

🚜 Farmers have a right to repair their own equipment, the EPA rules -- and manufacturers can't falsely claim environmental reasons for preventing them. civileats.com/2026/02/05/e...

Circularity meets consumer power in the tech repair fight The interests of consumer rights groups and circularity advocates are intersecting in the right-to-repair movement, as tech brands rework products to satisfy new laws.

🔧 Turns out, when you enact laws to punish producers of products designed to be trashed, they'll start making more that can be repaired for longer use -- benefiting consumer's bottom line and reducing landfill waste. trellis.net/article/circ...

The finest explanation yet made of why enshittification is coming for your kit The Norwegian Consumer Council has made the definitive explainer on enshittification — and the questions it raises for camera owners are uncomfortably pertinent.

Do you actually own the camera you just bought? Or have you licensed it subject to your manufacturer's marketing department? The Norwegian Consumer Council has made the definitive explainer on enshittification — and it's very much our problem too. buff.ly/b3X9akF #Enshittification #RightToRepair
