iFixit Moves Past Mac Repair

The new iFixit site, focused on Wiki-style.

iFixit is famous for its comprehensive guides repairing pretty much any Apple product, going years back. Tutorials on taking apart almost everything Apple, including comprehensive tear-downs of things like the iPad and iPhone when they are released.

Following a failure of businesses enforcing the WEEE movement from the EU, and deciding that the technological waste problem is rapidly increasing, iFixit imagine a future in which everyone can repair everything – just by using the Internet.

Hey, iFixit – that’s genius. That’ll help everyone. That’ll make a difference. iFixit are really aiming to do something that makes a difference – it’s like Wikipedia, but for repairing things. A future in which everything has a comprehensive repair guide, and devices last twice as long. Pulling something apart, figuring out what’s wrong, repairing it and putting it back together – instead of just throwing it away and buying a new one.

And you know what? As soon as I get some tools, I’ll start taking apart my older machines and posting things to iFixit. You should too.
