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

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

Someone built a robot that prints messages on the sand
