It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

I would love to see them make modular and repairable:

  • Phones
  • Tablets
  • 2-in-1s
  • Televisions
  • Monitors
  • Cameras
  • WiFi routers
  • Printers (copier, scanner)

Those things so often end up in the dump just because one small part fails, or gets too outdated. Think about all the parts in a wifi router that work just fine, but get thrown away anyway, because the radio module doesn’t support the shiny new WiFi version.

I as far as I know the best OpenWRT AP's / Routers you can buy right now is the Banana Pi R64, R3, R4(Still in development). Open source firmware with a long support life of updates and security patches and a nice metal casing.

I say as far as I know because I have not bought one yet as I don't have the funds for that right now. It is my next AP replacement though.
