...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).
