Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

The link above is a translation of this German article.

The price of the speaker in question ("MYND") currently is 230€ on the company website.

The schematics can be found under this same link, under "Downloads & support".

The pop up on the original German page is fucking toxic. No. You don’t get any consent to send my shit to your marketing partners. Ffs

Yeah, and being a tech site they really know how to block out any of the usual ways to circumvent it (reaload-and-aboard, archive.ph, ...). Their articles are very good though. One of the reasons I set up a keyboard shortcut for TOR. (Sadly I haven't yet figured out how to create a shortcut (on KDE) that opens TOR right at the URL in my clipboard, to open such webpages in quarantine with absolute minimum effort... maybe via x/ydotool. For the time being, I'm content with making the TOR launcher available in $PATH via ln -s /home/username/somefolder/tor-browser_de/Browser/start-tor-browser tor, so that I can open krunner, type 'tor' and paste the clipboard content there.)

Teufel speakers sound great usually, I’m very happy with my Bluetooth speakers from teufel the only thing I don’t like about them is that they use their own special jack for charging. These seem to address that issue.

The reviews on the company website praise it quite a highly. (And I think it’s not the kind of company to put fake reviews up there.)

Looks pretty spiffy. Might pick up one or two.
