Is laparoscopic surgery for buildings a thing?
Like a steerable borescope with a manipulator that you can attach a tool to or something to squeeze into a tight spot and perform a repair in an otherwise inaccessible location.

Ein Bericht von SRF (Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen) zeigt die Idee eines Reparaturbonus in der Schweiz: Wenn ein Teil der Reparaturkosten übernommen wird, könnte Reparieren attraktiver werden – statt Geräte zu ersetzen.
♻️ weniger Abfall
🛠️ stärkere lokale Reparaturbetriebe
Wir finden: Jede Reparatur zählt.
Würde euch ein Reparaturbonus motivieren, öfter etwas reparieren zu lassen?

A black‑and‑white close‑up of a metal fence with vertical bars and small decorative leaf‑shaped ornaments attached to them. Strong sunlight casts sharp, repeating shadows of the fence onto a stone wall behind it. The wall is made of large rectangular blocks, and the contrast between the smooth metal and rough stone creates a rhythmic, geometric pattern.

BMW’s R&D teams have been busy “innovating.” Unfortunately, they aren’t focusing on the things that actually matter—like stellar engine performance or legendary driving dynamics.
Instead, the C-suite execs decided that the best use of their engineering budget was to design a proprietary security screw specifically intended to prevent BMW drivers from fixing their own cars.
At first glance, it’s almost cute:
a screw head shaped exactly like the BMW logo.

While staying vigilant, we’re embracing the chance to catch our breath and to start healing. The city right now has a bit of the feeling of the days after a natural disaster: there is so much damage to repair. Thousands of people are still sheltering at home, understandably reluctant to go to work and/or school. Thousands are facing imminent eviction when March rent comes due.
There’s organizing around rent relief, talk of a rent strike. Food delivery is still in full swing. Mutual aid is not letting up.

Capitalism has convinced people that new always equals “better” so if you want to rebel against Capitalism start to recognize that “new” is often just a way to extract more money from you.
Existing (or “old”) things can be functional and beautiful, and often easier to repair.
The word “old” should not be an insult. Not to things or to people.

«A chatbot says “I’m sorry” flawlessly yet has no capacity for regret, repair, or change. It admits mistakes without loss. It expresses care without losing anything. It uses the language of care without having anything at risk. These utterances are fluent. And they train users to accept moral language divorced from consequence. The result is a quiet recalibration of norms. Apologies become costless. Responsibility becomes theatrical. Care becomes simulation.»

A partially disassembled robot vacuum is spread out on a wooden table. Various internal components are visible, including circuit boards with glowing blue lights, a red and black brush attachment, and other plastic parts. Several small glasses, tools like screwdrivers, and a paper towel are also on the table, indicating a repair or maintenance process in progress.
The image shows a map interface from the Valetudo app, displaying a floor plan with an outlined cleaning path taken by a robotic vacuum. The plan includes various paths and possible obstacles. The app has a blue header with navigation icons, and controls for segment cleaning are visible below the map.
The image shows a statistics screen from valetudo application. At the top, it displays "Total Time" with a reading of "383h 54m 04s." Below, there's a badge with the letters "bcc" in the center, surrounded by a blue and orange border. The text beneath the badge reads, "You've cleaned more than the whole CC Congress: bcc Berlin Congress Center." At the bottom, it shows "Total Area" with a measurement of "17687.88 m²."

Read "How To Survive In A Science Fiction Universe" by Charles Yu, a novel about a time-machine repair-man getting stuck in a loop during his search for his father.
First person narrated, in a fictional universe in which you can travel in time but you can't change anything about the past.
It was fun and an easy read, lots of interludes about the physics of fictional universes and explanations of acausal items causing their own existence, including the book itself that you read in your hands.
Its nice if you'd like something with experimental narrative form twisting the usual story format.

From SPEC
Our team has been completely overwhelmed by the incredible outpouring of support we received in response to the funding cut news of our beloved Repair Café program. Generous donors stepped forward to help along with foundation funding, allowing us to schedule the first three Repair Café events in 2026.
While new funding will help carry the program into 2026 renewing our agreement with the City of Vancouver remains a priority. Municipal support is key to long-term sustai…

Houston, we have a problem. While editing our new episode, I noticed, that my voice was distorted beyond repair. We can't use that recording, and therefore we have nothing to publish tomorrow. I'm every sorry about that.
We'll record a new episode this week, that will be publish next Tuesday, the 10th or march. After only three episodes we still lack experience. Therefore this beginner mistake happened.
Stay tuned for our thoughts on AI and software development next w…
