## Repair Services

Ok, so you broke your display? No problem, we can probably fix it. Most computers can be opened easily and parts replaced for a fraction of the price of a new computer. You can bring your own parts, or leave the shopping to us. We can source pretty much any part, new or used. "Ok, so you can fix anything, how about my intelligent washing machine?" you might ask. Well, no we don't fix washing machines. We also DO NOT FIX APPLE DEVICES. For more information or to start the repair procedure, contact us.

If you find yourself in need of new hardware, we have put together a small list of ethical suppliers for you. None of them are affiliated with us, but they do share our moral standards. We apologize in advance, none of them sell intelligent washing machines...

## Phones

This is a domain where Libre Software is only beginning to show its face. While Linux is at the core of the Android Open Source Project, with the amount of proprietary and spying software added on top of it by Google before it makes it to your phone disqualifies it. Some distributions have been around for some time, and Ubuntu even tried to launch an Ubuntu Phone with little success.

Many companies already exist that manufacture freedom respecting devices that you can buy if you are in need of a new computer. This is not a complete list, but we have chosen a few popular options for you to pick from. It is important to mention that Libre BIOS and Hardware is just as important as all the rest. We keep a close eye on the RISC-V CPU, as it could very well replace mobile CPUs in the near future
