Today’s occupational therapy was repairing the stitching of three pads in two bibtights and a thermosuit using my partner’s sewing machine. Good lunchtime activity. Second effort was best but all are now serviceable.

I'm volunteering at a local repair café at my local library this weekend. If you have the capability (time+energy+skills), I strongly encourage participating! It's a great way to meet neighbors for the first time, give back to your community, and poke at things you've never seen before.

I've been doing PC/laptop repair for... longer than I want to admit. Many pieces of my kit come from @iFixit (https://www.ifixit.com/Tools), and they're often the first place I'll check for weird tools for small electronics. I've also picked up a couple of their Minnow driver kits to keep in my bag and car, just in case.

Freu mich immer noch über meine erfolgreiche Reparatur von letzter Woche. Donnerstag Abend Spülmaschine zerlegt, weil Heizpumpe kalt blieb, Ersatzteil bestellt, Samstag Abend gebrauchtes Ersatzteil eingebaut. Statt ~150 € für ein neues Teil, nur ~ 30 € ausgegeben. Den Zufallstreffer "Ersatzteil-Löwe" kann ich also grad wirklich empfehlen.
Mal schaun, wie lange das hält. Die Spülmaschine ist 14 Jahre alt, bei uns seit 9 Jahren.

🚨 New Video: I Ditched Razer for a 4-Year-Old Keyboard (And You Should Too)

Stop buying products designed to fail. After four years on the market, the Keychron Q1 proves that hardware should be a tool you own, not a disposable product you rent. In this video, I break down why I scrapped my Razer Huntsman Elite, a $200 piece of planned obsolescence, for a heavy, modular, and open-source aluminum chassis.

We dive into the hardware, the hot-swappable switches, QMK/VIA open-source firmware, and the three questions every piece of tech must answer before it earns a spot on my desk.

Is it repairable?
Is it modular?
Is it sovereign?

100% human made. #NoAI :NoAI:

Surprised to find replacement ear pads available for my relatively cheap Betron S2 headphones at £3.99 with free postage

The control board in our 20-year old oven died, and, of course, it’s no longer available. I found UpFix.com, and decided to give them a try. They repair boards of all kinds in appliances, autos, exercise equipment, and others. It was a seamless experience the whole way through. I popped it back into the oven today, and .. it works!!

Very reasonable price! Highly recommended!

Camera/ham radio battery.
Back up and running again.
I finally found a replacement for the old, dead battery pack inside the case.

Heute bin ich endlich Mal dazu gekommen in der @welcomewerkstatt an meinem Projekt Messer-Reperatur zu arbeiten.
Nach ein paar Jahren sind die Gummigriffe der Messer klebrig gewesen. Da die Messer von einem großen Möbelhaus quasi standardisiert sind kann der Griff einfach durch einen Neuen ausgetauscht und das Messer noch viele Jahre benutzt werden.

Ich weiß zwar nicht, WIE dieses Loch in mein Bettlaken reingekommen ist (sieht aus wie durchgeschnitten?!) but anyway, I fixed it!

It's amazing how big multi-billion dollar corporations can hide behind environmental concerns.

Apple decided not to include a power adapter in the iPhone box a few years ago.

It's only 58 grams of plastic with some metal. Sounds reasonable, yeah?

Also Apple:
Want to add RAM to your Macbook?
- No, buy a new 2kg one.
Want to upgrade your SSD?
- Ok, buy a new 2kg one.
Want to use your old iMac as a monitor for your Mac Mini?
- Sure, buy a new 10kg one. Or a separate display. Or just throw your iMac away.

What is it if not taking care of the money?

It's so ridiculous to bring ecology here.

The hot glue gun might become my favorite tool. I only got it a few weeks ago but have used it almost every day. It was definitely worth getting the wireless version, too (physical heat storage, no battery). Today, I fixed my PC case, which has a door which has an LED panel which kept falling off. I already fixed the door a year ago as one of the hinges broke. Still works - Some cents worth of screws and glue were all I needed. #DIY #RepairNotReplace

I successfully repaired/ replaced the belts on my snowblower way ahead of the season so if it doesn't snow this year in #NewEngland I'm sorry.

Sharing a small but satisfying thing - someone was throwing out this lovely chair, because the rubber that provided the recliner bounce-back had hardened. And I fixed it! With an old tennis ball! 😎🎾
