here at iFixit we live breathe and sleep
repair it's our mission and we do it
because we believe repair makes people's
lives better and it's happening all
around the world when the Deepwater
Horizon oil well ruptured in the Gulf it
was a repairman who plugged the leak in
India nothing is disposable specialist
fix everything even umbrellas volunteers
from London to Minnesota have started
repair cafes serving up a household fix
alongside a nice cup of joe 10 years ago
we started a journey it began with two
people writing six repair guides now I
fix it has almost 600,000 members and
hosts thousands of repair guides that
have helped millions of people fix cars
computers even expresso machines 71
percent of our free guides are written
by regular people just like you today
we're celebrating our 10th anniversary
and we're so thankful for all the
passionate people out there who support
repair culture like iFixit community
moderators cold turkey and poly 10 top
regular people who share their time and
knowledge to answer repair questions and
curate content on our website as a
community our accomplishments have
surpassed what anyone could have
anticipated a decade ago we can't do
what we do without you over the years
we've had the privilege of hearing tons
of amazing repair stories like Nate
Hansen his daughter Whitney uses an
iphone app to help her speak replacing
the battery in her iPhone gave Whitney
her voice back or mrs. Goldstein's
awesome kindergarten class they wrote us
a letter listing all the household
objects from remote controls to coffee
makers they took apart together or even
a radio man who fixed his submarine he
repaired his vessel the USS Michigan
using iFixit tools we couldn't be more
excited and humbled by your experiences
with repair but we've only scratched the
surface of repair possibilities and we
can't wait to discover where repair will
lead us in the coming years when who
guides will see what new contributors
will meet and what types of cool repairs
you'll think up next these last 10 years
have been amazing and to kick off
another awesome 10 years we're
introducing a new logo and a new look we
are dedicated to making repair
accessible to everyone around the world
and there's no tool that has made repair
as open and
easy as the Philips screwdriver that's
our inspiration our new logo reflects
our mission to make repair possible even
easy for everyone around the world
repair is noble repair is global and it
fixes the world one device at a time
thank you for an amazing 10 years and
