  1. #today

    Bought some #mending glue tape so I can better patch the trousers that my fat arse split this morning, and also begin attacking the rest of the decades-old mending pile.

    I'm enrolling on a fresh #hamradio course so I can rejoin the airwaves.

    There's a powerful 18" floor fan by the window keeping me cool right now, as it's like a greenhouse upstairs.

    Trying to give away a double bed with a marginal #woodchip frame, if anyone can be persuaded to #refurbish it somehow? Thoughts please

  6. Last photo of the doll closet. The ribbons got a good wash before being put back on. The magnets on the doors are really strong, so it’s actually pretty hard to open without the extra ribbon to pull on.

  7. Washed the ribbons that came with the doll dresser. Originally, these ribbons were just double knotted to hold onto the shelf. I decided to add some flower beads for extra flourish!

  8. This doll closet was discarded on the side of the road. It wasn’t in horrible condition but it was pretty dirty and had melted candy stuck inside. A little cleaning and paint and… it’s as good as new!

  16. 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.

  17. #HighSeason is ceasing on the #Adriatic, and I can't believe organictraveller.de/organictra could possibly have a comprehensive list of #hotels, #hostels and other holiday accommodation focussing on planet-friendliness in #Rimini! Let me know if you have been served #organic #breakfast or drinks, observed the use of environment-friendly cleaning agents and/or the implementation of the #reuse, #refurbish, #recycle principle in your Rimini accommodation this #summer. Thank you! #organictraveller

  19. A customer brought us an old HPC machine for restore and upgrade. The laser was cleaned and fitted with new belts, new tube, new power supply, upgraded controller and the bed was relevelled. thinklaser.com/servicestudy/la

  20. Ich habe meinen 14 Jahre alten Mac Mini neues Leben eingehaucht, obwohl Apple sagt, dass der das nicht packt. 😂🤭😇

  21. 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...

  22. Just learnt about this gentleman doing laptop repairs on YouTube and he now switching to selling refurbished laptops. Imagine Louis Rosmann without the Libertarian nonsense.

  23. There's a thriving market in India for cheap laptops that are made by salvaging parts from several different PCs from different brands and stitching them together into a "new" laptop made from scraps, despite opposition from PC makers. theverge.com/tech/639126/india

  24. 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.

    "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

  31. „Good enough“ is ma perfection. :hacker: Reuse and recycle as much as possible. Today: Old HP branded Intel 4x1Gbps for the Homelab. #reuse #refurbish #recycle #homelab #hacking #poppnieten4tw

  32. Well I finally got all the parts in the mail needed to #refurbish this #ThinkPad L490 machine. 🎉

    Unfortunately it does feature a 720p TN panel (a dramatically improved TN panel I should say), and a flawed M.2 connector. It accepts a #PCIe 3.0x4 drive, but it actually drops 2 of the PCIe lanes. Ordinarily that would be fine, but the M.2 drive I'm using is an #Optane H20, which acts as a PCIe 3.0x2x2 device: 1TB NVMe drive on the first 2x lanes and a 32GB Optane on the 2nd 2x lanes. 🤔

  33. “The next step is to replicate this #Proof of Concept with other companies in the #municipality, both product owners who dispose of #devices for #reuse and with #refurbishing #companies that collect, #refurbish and #distribute the devices to final users,” says David Franquesa in our #DLT4EU #interview series at #proofingfuture.

    We speak about the #teamwork and #collaborative project of David Franquesa, Natalia Moreno & Carles Peidró García in the #DLT4EU accelerator.
