  3. If you ever find yourself in a situation like me, where you have a very small stripped screw, in a very tight and sensitive area of an electronic device, you might be able to extract it by using this magic tool.

    Basically you drill a new hole into the screw, then use the other side to unscrew it. Well, in my case, I didn't even have to use the unscrew side. Just the side that drills was enough to extract it without any damage to any other components. Recommended 10/10.

    NOTE: please follow the manufacturer instructions, and don't blame me for any damage.

  4. Ich hab 2 tragbare Camping-Solar-Panele (je 100 Watt), die nicht mehr viel taugen. Gibt es Firmen, die sowas refurbishen? secondsol.com/ und panelretter.de scheinen sich nur um feste Panele zu kümmern...

    "Whether you plan to squeeze a bit more out of a device, want to pass it along to someone, or plan on selling it, repairing or refurbishing it first is a smart move. If you want to try and repair a device, #iFixit is a great place to start. It boasts more than 90,000 step-by-step repair guides covering phones, tablets, laptops, computers, game consoles, and cameras.

    "#YouTube is another great place to find repair videos, and Chamberlain recommends checking out repair techs like Louis Rossmann, Jessa Jones, Ben’s Appliances and Junk, and Rich Rebuilds, but there's no shortage of repair videos for the specific gadget you're looking for.

    "To meet repair experts face-to-face and learn how to fix your own gadgets, look for a repair café in your area. These local pop-up events offer free advice and knowledge exchange from expert repairers to help people in the neighborhood get stuff fixed. Instead of dropping devices off for repair, you sit with the expert and learn how to troubleshoot for yourself. The Restart Project is a good resource for folks in the UK looking to repair or donate devices.

    "One thing to be mindful of when attempting to repair a phone, laptop, or another device with a battery inside is to drain the battery before you open it up. For repairs on major white-good appliances, rubber gloves and rubber-soled boots can minimize the risk of getting shocked.

    "If you lack the confidence to attempt repairs, you can likely find a good local repair shop by reading reviews. The Federal Trade Commission found that independent repair shops have the same success rate and safety record as manufacturer shops. Many manufacturers have discouraged repairs with the threat of warranty voiding, but victories for the Right to Repair movement have led to tech getting slightly more repairable.

    "Just be careful to back up and protect sensitive data on your devices before handing them in at repair shops. Some devices might even have a built-in solution. For example, #Samsung phone owners can activate #MaintenanceMode before handing a device off to ensure that photos and accounts can’t be accessed." #RightToRepair #Electronics

  11. We also like how he talked about the #embeddedEnergy in the existing #housingStock and #officeSpace.

    He points to how industry is encouraged to #waste due to govts giving #taxBreaks and other #perks for #newBuilds, rather than encouraging #developers to #refurbish or #renovate existing #heritage and #realEstate.

    It has a terrible impact on our #carbonFootprint - but is great for #GDP!

    If you're concerned with #sustainability you need to know the effects of #overdevelopment.
