026 Right to Repair - a podcast by DDK Limited

DDK Pod Episode 26 Right to Repair.  Old devices which cannot be upgraded or repaired are difficult to recycle into new devices, and often just get dumped instead.  Items such as laptops, phone and tablets are screwed and glued shut. Consumers are threatened with voided warranties if they open them up to try to repair them when they go wrong.  This kind of thing is commonplace across the IT industry but has to stop if we are to tackle the e-waste problem.  We discuss.  Also covered is our pick of the IT industry news and a few recommendations for our listeners.

 

And yes, Julian was spectacularly wrong about Jim Al-Khalili. It’s Robin Ince who hosts the ‘Infinite Monkey Cage’ with Brian Cox on BBC Radio 4.  That said, ‘The Life Scientific’ which is hosted by Jim, is also fantastic.
