iFixit Europe

Where are repair and reuse in the Circular Economy Act? 🔎 Following last Thursday’s final stakeholder workshop on the Circular Economy Act (CEA), the Right to Repair coalition is deeply concerned that the European Commission’s approach risks missing the core of what makes an economy truly circular. 👇 Swipe to read what we said in the event and our core demands 🔗 Full statement in comments

Two years ago I was driving my family across the country towing a trailer with all our stuff. The trip was going great until I hit an ice patch and the slid the trailer into a snowbank. I got unstuck, reinflated my tires, and kept going. Then our trailer’s wheel fell off. I had no idea how to fix a trailer bearing. I was stuck, with my family depending on me, and the crushing irony that the repair expert couldn't fix his own problem. Today we're launching something I wished I had that day. The iFixit app. After a decade of being banned from the App Store (long story), we're back with something radical: An AI repair helper that actually knows what it's talking about. FixBot is trained on 20 years of iFixit repairs. Millions of successful fixes. Real solutions that real people have verified actually work. https://dub.sh/EtCVeDl Show it a photo of your problem. Tell it what's wrong. It diagnoses like a master technician, then walks you through the fix step-by-step. Voice-guided, so your hands stay on the repair, not your screen. FixBot adapts to your skill level. Never held a screwdriver? FixBot has all the time in the world. Fix phones for a living? It'll skip the basics. It speaks your language. Actually, it speaks any language. It’s fluent in both spoken and written language. iFixit’s mission is to teach everyone to fix every thing, and today we're taking a major leap forward in making that possible. Oh, and that trailer bearing? Took me 6 hours and three YouTube videos of questionable accuracy to figure out. With FixBot, it would've taken an hour. I tested it. https://dub.sh/ONkqQuC

Unten am iFixit-Stand, oben im Lötworkshop – die Maker Faire Tübingen war für uns ein echtes Familienprojekt 💙 Während ich über Reparaturkultur, Werkzeuge und das Lernen durch Machen gesprochen habe, hat mein Sohn den Lötbereich betreut und gezeigt, wie viel Spaß Technik machen kann, wenn man sie selbst in die Hand nimmt. Solche Veranstaltungen zeigen jedes Mal aufs Neue, wie viel Neugier, Kreativität und Freude am gemeinsamen Lernen in der Maker-Community steckt. Danke an alle, die vorbeigeschaut, gelötet und mit uns über eine reparierbare Zukunft gesprochen haben! #MakerFaire #Tübingen #iFixit #iFixitEurope #MakerSpace #RightToRepair #Community #STEM #FixTheFuture #ProudMom
