As folks around the world plan their return to the office, advocates are pushing for a sustained — and improved — focus on accessibility. Samsung's Galaxy Upcycling program seemed promising, but the company kind of ruined what was once a great idea. Facebook announced it would start limiting individual accounts that routinely spread misinformation. A study looking at the activity of those who work from home indicates folks are getting a lot more done during their 9 to 5 than just their 9 to 5. First, Abrar Al-Heeti of CNET stops by to talk about her enlightening piece regarding accessibility and the pandemic. While some aspects of digital accessibility have improved, advocates are asking for the focus to continue as folks begin to return to the office. Then, Kevin Purdy of iFixit.com discusses Samsung's Galaxy Upcycling Program, a way for folks to use their old Galaxy devices in new ways. Despite it sounding like a great idea, Samsung kind of ruined it. Then, Mikah shares a story about Facebook limiting the reach of personal accounts that spread misinformation on the social network. Lastly, Jason talks about a new study that reveals some of the things folks are doing during the workday — including napping, shopping, having sex, and dating. But if they're getting their work done, is it all that bad?

On this episode of Repair Radio, we tell our scariest repair stories in celebration of Halloween, and iFixit teardown engineer Taylor Dixon makes another appearance to talk about our Surface Laptop 3 and Pixel 4 XL teardowns.Hosts: Craig Lloyd, Kevin Purdy, and Whitson GordonSpecial Guest: Taylor DixonMusic: Gypsy (@ArchaicsHipHop), Biz Baz StudioNews TopicsThe Battle of Boston: Manufacturers War With Fixers at Repair Bill Hearing: Jacquilyn Gonzalez-Johnson’s family has broken two iPhone XRs in the last three months. But even though her husband runs a professional repair shop, she had to drive two hours, without phone service, to the nearest Apple Store that could fit her in. Gonzalez-Johnson spoke at Monday’s hearing on a Right to Repair bill in Massachusetts. Her story was the one that, if you don’t have 3 hours for all the hearing’s testimony, you should hear.Here’s the Secret Repair Tool Apple Won’t Let You Have: No mere mortal, lacking Apple’s stamp of approval, can completely fix the company’s products. You can do a lot, but in the newest iPhones, you can’t restore Touch ID, install a new battery, or replace a screen without a warning. Trying to replace core Mac parts can trigger a lock-out. No sacrifices or incantations can overcome this.Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 Teardown: Surface Laptop teardowns have historically been a painful business—but with the Surface Laptop 3, Microsoft hinted that something is very different.
