A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So we're going to get repair parts available from Xbox and Nintendo? And ways to flash a firmware onto it? It seems hard to imagine what this will look like in practice. It's one thing to see fairphone or framework do it and it's another thing to consider what it looks like for everyone.
