Hi all,
I have some basic knowledge in microelectronics field, but realized only lately that with some tooling it was not so hard repairing stuff, with some luck at least. In terms of computer repair II am a beginner as I repaired no more than three or four MacBooks. I am interested in both the technical and political aspects, knowing that repairing too much is bad for industry (simultaneously they overwhelm us with the urgence to "save the planet"), with Apple in forefront to brick their machines.

Congratulations to those who started or make live this badcaps initiative...

Hi Folks,

I appear here under the name of Agilulf, which, besides being a medieval name, is the name of "the nonexistent knight", the Great philosophical novel from Italo Calvino, in which Agilulf is an empty armor filled in with a soul but no corpse. Agilulf is forced to remain active all night and day, otherwise he would stop to "live" and disappear for ever.
This kind of existence fits well, from my point of view, the way of living of geeks or people like here devoted to repairing machines, forgetting that the time goes by, spirit focused to make things...
