Our five year old "commercial technology" washing machine stopped working today. Thanks to DYI repair videos, I was able to run a diagnostic to see the error code and identify the clutch slider as the culprit (of course the manufacturer's website was of no use here).
I could have ordered a replacement part online for about 50 $CAD but the part design is so bad that I preferred repairing the broken part instead.
The steel ring around the slider is held with only six small plastic "pegs" about 3mm in diameter. Those pegs broke off from the repeated actuation of the clutch during normal operation (electromagnet exerting an axial force on the steel ring). I drilled small holes in the plastic slider in which I self-tapped 3x4mm set screws (aka grub screws). I slid the steel ring back on and backed out the screws so they would engage in the ring.

Nada, não fui quem de arranjar a luz da bici 🤷 (tampouco com o truque de @editora do papel de alumínio...)
Pode que, ademais da lapela rota, haja algo mais que não funcione 🤷🤷

As I endeavor to wrangle an errant tagging structure of a PowerPoint file towards an accessible PDF file, I find myself pushing the limits of whatever black magic fuels Acrobat.
I will not relent.
I curse the corporate greed, professional incompetence, and ultimately low-grade, mediocre, evil- manifesting through this fiendish abomination of corrupted deviance and fuckery.
This is no way to run a document object model!

Mausrad scrollt nicht mehr so richtig? Dann haben sich vermutlich darin Härchen verfangen. Das Logitech Modell M100 liess sich leicht öffnen, das Rad kann dann ganz zerlegt und gereinigt werden. Jetzt scrollt sie wieder die Mastodon timeline rauf und runter!

Ca fait bien un an que cet #écran au demarrage affiche des traits comme ça qui disparraissent soudainement aprés environ 5 minutes. Serait-ce le fameux "condensateur" ? Quelqu’un connait ce problème ? Va-t-il crever un jour ? 😅 #panne #electronique #fixit.

Fix-it - Fanlore
"Fix-it fic, or "fix fic", is fanfiction that changes something about canon that the fan writing the fic wasn't happy with. This can be anything from explaining plot holes or inconsistent characterization to bringing a favorite character back from the dead.
In some cases, fix-it fic is written to "fix" fanfiction rather than canon. This is most effective when the piece of fanfiction being "fixed" is sufficiently well-known that readers of the fix-it story will recognize the new story as being..."
