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!
