Tomorrow is #InternationalRepairDay! Why not try repairing something and share a picture on social media (be the #repair successful or not!). Or, tell a memorable repair story. Together we can inspire others to consider the value of #fixing openrepair.org/repairday/

Innovation is SMEs inventing novel means of repairing electronics. ANTI innovation is Apple spending lavishly to kill 20 state-level right to repair bills in a single year, thus banning the practice.

At Melbourne Repair Cafe in #Yarraville today with my 3yo Breville toaster which does not hold toast down, keeps popping it up. And guess what is in queue in front? Another Breville toaster (1 yo). Is this a known problem, @BrevilleAus? Not good enough! #RightToRepair

Brilliant! The basic robot could also be very useful for weeding around small plants in a grid based planting scheme. #gardening

Here's a new way to write messages in the sand

Someone built a robot that prints messages on the sand

The robot was created by YouTuber Ivan Miranda — it essentially prints messages on the sand. The robot works by implementing a notch that drops down, creating a series of dashes to print the message.

Our computers [desktops x5 + x1 tester] and [laptops x 4] were rescued prior to becoming #ewaste. One of the desktops did not have to be upgraded, it was simply plugged in and given a clean and a new operating system. @DiscardStudies @ewastewatch @The_Maintainers @SustainVic
