#Sonos play 3 on the bench today, with the well known psu fault caused by crap capacitors and poor design. Customer wasn’t keen to repair as the unit wasn’t worth much… but I suggested it would be better if it was repaired rather than thrown away, and I would do it for cost of components if they made a donation to our local scout group. Win win in my eyes. #repaircafe #RepairReuseRecycle #sonos #electronics #myphoto #aberdeenshire #skillsforlife #scouts

If ever an inanimate electronic object could bring about both angst and joy, it is this one. Garmin Epix pro 2 with the dreaded sticky buttons. Really glad to see it charging!

What a faff the fix was! I can see why commercial repair places charge £90 just for the button component now, they don’t actually want to repair them.

I also repair Coros, Samsung, Apple, Huawei, etc. sports watches.

In today’s episode of “I’ve slept since a planned to do thing x”, I couldn’t find the replacement battery for the watch repair I’m working on. New battery ordered and will be here tomorrow. Checked messages to update client, and realised they *didn’t want or need a battery change*.
FFS.
Oh well, spare battery never goes amiss.

Can these hoses be (easily) repaired? I'm guessing not, but would love to be wrong. If they can't be repaired can I at least recycle it?

I think it may put off potential Reform voters to see that Reform’s cabinet will be a rerun of the last Tory cabinet 🤔

Ok, so I’ve just discovered neocities, so I need to jump back into my (very) rusty knowledge of editing html to make something for kool_watch_repairs - diving back into a web presence rather than that meta shite. Wish me luck! #RepairReuseRecycle #garmin #fix #repaircafe #html #keepItOutOfLandfill

Heute Abend bin ich ein bisschen stolz auf mich. Ein Paar eigentlich wirklich gute (und v.a. warme!) BeLenka #Barfußschuhe in Form von fellgefütterten Winterstiefeln hatte einen kaputten Reißverschluss. Deshalb wegwerfen? Schuster machen sowas heute nicht mehr, die Firma bietet keinen entsprechenden Service an - und wenn, wären beide Varianten teuer geworden. Hab selbst einen neuen Reißverschluss eingebaut. Nicht perfekt, aber gut genug. Hurray! 🥳

I recently bought some new rubber seals for some old clip-top jars. The jars are perfectly good except their seals have weathered over the years, so I tracked down replacements online.

It was harder than I thought to find the two sizes I needed, 7-9.5cm and 8.5-11cm, in the one shop in Australia at a reasonable price. So if anyone else wants to know, I got them from Biome – about $8 for a pack of six, two sizes, plus shipping, total just under $27.

Four jars already refitted with seals, more as I need to open them for something. Better than throwing the jars out and buying new ones.

NB: I don't have Kilner jars; it doesn't matter as long as the internal / external dimensions roughly match what they're replacing.

So, I ran out of time (got caught up in collecting seeds). Next week I'll cover #OffGrid communication (after I review the articles I bookmarked). I'll try to get those up by Saturday (if not sooner).

#BigW fluffy slippers were warm on top but inadequately insulated from the cold of the tile floor.
(You can provide a thermodynamically more accurate description in the Replies for five bonus Pedant Points. Thinking correctly about physics is important.)

Insoles were cut from the fine Italian furniture leather that had previously graced a +$10,000 TV couch set* that got thrown out.

Some, but probably little, exaggeration here.

While I encourage folks to try and repair electronics whenever possible, sometimes it doesn't happen (I'm intimidated when it comes to working on laptops, though I have no problems working on an old desktop computer. Laptops are too damn small!). Anyhow, if you have electronics piling up, here's are some tips to help prepare them for recycling...

Looking to #Recycle an Old #Laptop or #Printer? Here's Where You Can Take It

You may be able to recycle old printers and PCs for free and even score store credit.

"Got an old laptop or printer gathering dust in a closet? You're not alone. A recent CNET survey found that nearly a third of US adults are still hanging onto outdated electronics because they just don't know what to do with them."

Well, saving money is a good reason for #NoBuy practices. But even better -- keeping things out of the landfills! This is a trend we ALL need to see more of! For whatever reason one chooses not to buy, I'm glad to see it catching on!

How the '#NoBuy2025' trend could help you get your budget on track this year

Ivana Pino, July 21, 2025

Excerpt: "Many of those who take on the challenge start by creating a list of rules for themselves that align with their lifestyles. This could include hard rules such as 'no new clothes whatsoever' or 'no new technology,' as well as rules that limit the frequency of certain purchases, such as 'yes to takeout once per month' or 'yes to one nail appointment every two weeks.'

"Others have posted online about having a 'low buy' year, which means they’re limiting the amount of purchases they’re making, rather than cutting out non-essential spending altogether."
