Previous milestone: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/489828
This is going to be a long term effort from my side to build a library of resources on the topic of right to repair/ownership to make it easier for people to learn about the topic. Of course this sub is not Louis Rosmann circlejerk, it's just that he shared a lot of great videos/views on the topic of right to repair/ownership. I also don't want him to be the face of this movement (and he doesn't want that too) I just decided to start building the library starting from him and that's all. You can help me make this community grow by sharing the resources on the topic yourself to speed up the process of building the library. Please avoid sharing stuff from Louis Rosmann because no matter what you share it's guaranteed that I will find it myself later and it will result in a duplicate post because as of now I don't have a way of tracking what's in the library and what's not. Hopefully I find a scalable way to organise my workflow soon enough.
I'm considering this product, but I'd like to ideally be able to replace the battery myself. How difficult or easy is this? I haven't found a guide about them online yet
It's actually difficult to get info because ifixit doesn't have ratings on all models, sometimes it's just a guide. There's no top list, just a blog here and there, a video in another place
I have created my own list, based on ifixit:
Best Closed ANC

Just a guitar pick and a screw driver gets you there, and they close back up like new. No rating, but it's the best closed in-ear
Best Open ANC
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_Buds_Live
8/10 is the best score I've seen for ANY earphones
Best Closed
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_Buds_Plus
7/10 which is the best rating for an earbud
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_Buds
6/10 which is previously the best earbud
After these four products, I haven't seen ANYTHING better. Any others I should add to the list?

If you want a smartphone with a long life, Fairphone is leading the industry.
Can't say anything bad about product quality, I've used this toothbrush for 4 years now and the battery still lasts for more than a month. I did treat it well though, almost never depleted the 9.36Wh cell or charged it completely to 100%. Just the USB cable was over 20 bucks when it was still available. Model is Oclean One.
