Jokes aside this is fucking rad and a continuation of great things from them. I really dread the day iFixit enshittifies.
ifixit is such a wonderful company. I downloaded all their repair manuals so I should be able to repair ‘anything’. And it does seem to be everything.
I love that they are still adding more resources for the general public. An actual ethical company imo. But please let me know if there is some controversy I am not aware of.
Is an archive of their repair manuals available for download? Would you mind sharing the link?
I used https://kiwix.org/en/ to download wikipedia originally.
Then I saw in the desktop app that you can download a lot more “wikis” other than wikipedia. This is their library. https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng

It includes computers, phones, game consoles, appliances, vehicles, tools, even medical devices and apparel.
Well, look at that. The Kiwix offline reader is in Debian already, so getting it couldn’t be more convenient.
Thanks!
I would also appreciate this!
Curious to see how effective this is and excited to contribute to its efficacy. I own a repair business and it has taken years to develop the means to effectively cross-reference for compatibility, it takes over a year for a new tech to reliably get the swing of things.
My experience with compatibility checkers hasn’t been stellar. I’ll check this out.
