The IBM PC’s open-architecture design didn’t just make repairs easy—it set the standard for every PC that followed. Its modular layout laid the groundwork for the motherboard form factors and expansion slots we still use today.

The IMSAI 8080 was one of the first microcomputers, but what could you do with it? In its base configuration—not a lot! But a huge industry of S-100 card makers let you connect this computer to printers, color TVs, even a digital camera!

The Pixel Buds 2a teardown gave us whiplash. The buds are glued shut like a tiny escape room, but the charging case is one of the most repairable we have ever seen.

It's a tale of two products. One half looks like the team ran out of time and reached for the glue. The other feels like someone proudly whispered “what if we made it actually repairable” and then did exactly that. Read the full analysis at the link below.

A close-up of a person disassembling a light purple Google Pixel Buds charging case. The bottom module is pulled away, revealing the internal battery labeled “Google” with a QR code. The upper white shell and internal plastic clips are visible.

A fully disassembled pair of light purple Google Pixel Buds and their charging case are laid out on a white surface. All internal components are separated, including the earbuds split into shells and drivers, tiny screws, silicone ear tips, coin-cell-style batteries, the main case battery labeled “Google,” the charging case’s outer shells, buttons, internal plastic frames, springs, gaskets, and a small circuit board.

A holiday-themed layout displays the iFixit FixHub soldering toolkit and accessories on a blue background. The spread includes a black tool roll, soldering iron, cables, wire cutters, a brass tip cleaner, a spool of solder wire, soldering accessories, and the FixHub power unit. Wrapped silver gift boxes with blue and black ribbons are arranged around the tools.

A person wearing safety glasses stands at a workbench, using a soldering iron on a small circuit board. An open iFixit tool roll with blue-handled tools sits on the table nearby, and a black soldering station is connected to the iron. The workspace has warm lighting and a wall decorated with colorful prints and patterns.
