Buying a $300 hardware device shouldn't mean renting its basic features. Brother's Skitch embroidery machine requires a subscription app just to load custom designs. 🧵
ZigZag is a new open-source embroidery editor built to fix that. It converts SVG artwork into stitch designs, exports standard machine formats, and includes direct Bluetooth support for the Brother Skitch.
electrically debonding glue in phone batteries is one of the coolest phone repair things I've seen. That is a great pro-repair move as someone who has struggled with floss and heat pads to try and get batteries out.

Nikki thought she'd found it: cell 1 of 20, reading far lower than the rest. 😬
But the bike had never lost power. So she opened the battery up again, found an unlabelled B0 point, and measured again: 4.07 volts, just like every other cell. The fuse post wasn't the place to measure from.
Trust, but verify. ✅

Tagging for an early #SolarPunkSunday ! Saturday, November 14th! #GuilfordCT - Popular #GuilfordRepairCafe Returns Soon: Details
The event gives residents a chance to breathe new life into their beloved broken items. Here's what to know before you go.
by Richard Kaufman, Nov 6, 2026
GUILFORD, CT — "The popular Guilford #RepairCafe will return on Nov. 14, giving residents a chance to breathe new life into their beloved broken items.
"The event will take place from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Guilford Community Center. Expert repair volunteers will be in attendance to fix a variety of broken items, including small household appliances, lamps, clothing, jewelry, electronics and more — all free of charge.
"Hosted by the #SustainableGuilford Task Force, the town said the "lively community gathering" allows participants to experience how sustainable practices give items a second life.
" 'By fixing items instead of throwing them away, Repair Cafe Guilford works to reduce waste, cut CO2 emissions from manufacturing and recycling, and helps Guilford build a more sustainable future,' Task Force Chair Terri Cain said in an announcement.
"While some complicated repairs may not be possible, repairers can offer advice to residents on their items, according to event organizer and Sustainable Guilford Task Force member Amy Kaneko.
"Attendees may bring up to two items for repairs, with repair time limited to 30 minutes per item. The repair cutoff is 4:30 p.m.
"The event will offer refreshments, coffee and tea, baked goods, and light snacks.
"For more information or questions about the event, contact [email protected] or visit the Facebook event page."
