Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

...is not right here, I assume? Because we seem to be aiming more at the political aspect of the topic here. What are your favorite communities/forums/other corners of the internet for getting hands-on, practical advice on repairing stuff (all kinds)? Right now I'm looking for ways to repair a set of earbuds (that isn't actually broken - it's just that the rubber/silicone cover of the buttons is coming off).

I've never found anything close to the level of detail, for such a range of products as iFixit.

The community has grown significantly since I started using it and I have no problems supporting them through their store.
