Marcus "MajorLinux" SummersTesla's odometers are running on vibes.Tesla accused of messing with odometers to get out of repair bills <a href="https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/tesla-accused-of-messing-with-odometers-to-get-out-of-repair-bills-165625372.html?src=rss" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/tesla-accused-of-messing-with-odometers-to-get-out-of-repair-bills-165625372.html?src=rss</a><a href="https://toot.majorshouse.com/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tesla</a> <a href="https://toot.majorshouse.com/tags/Odometers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Odometers</a> <a href="https://toot.majorshouse.com/tags/EVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EVs</a> <a href="https://toot.majorshouse.com/tags/Repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Repairs</a> <a href="https://toot.majorshouse.com/tags/Warranty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Warranty</a> <a href="https://toot.majorshouse.com/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tech</a>

JordiGHSo now it looks like my hobby is fixing my Nintendo DS instead of playing with it.Yesterday I couldn't quite get the potentiometer for the bottom screen to work quite right.Oops, in my fiddling, I broke it off.Well, now I have a replacement, but I'm going to need help soldering this tiny thing on. I found someone local who can help me! I'll take the thing over tomorrow for the soldering job.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NintendoDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NintendoDS</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Retrogaming</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairs</a>

JordiGHI need some hardware advice.I recently re-assembled my DS Lite. The bottom screen flickers very slightly and has faint horizontal lines across it. It's not really visible at all except at certain illumination levels, like a black box with a bright background.I tried disconnecting and re-connecting the screen three times in case I might have accidentally attached its ribbon cables wrong, but the slight problem persists. There are cheap replacements online for about 20 USD, although the reviews say they have bad electrical insulation and I should add some electrical tape to them.What would you recommend I do?<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NintedoDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NintedoDS</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DSLite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DSLite</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hardware</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairs</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Retrogaming</a>

Author in MourningThis post is a re-run from last summer. But it's on my mind tonight. I believe the best advice I can give anyone right now is to buy books, learn some stuff, and figure out as much as possible about the skills common in the 30s & 40s. Hint: without a massive change of course, we're going back. Never have I been so grateful for the things my parents made me learn: <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/canning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canning</a> basic <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairs</a> On that cheerful note, g'nite all. I hear my pillows calling.

Frank BennettThe work boots I break out on the rare occasions we have snow or ice in Nagoya. "Field n' Stream by Weinbrenner Shoe Company" according to the tag. I bought these when living at home and working as a sacker at the Chico Bean Growers agricultural coop in the late 1970s, they're on their third set of soles. I also bought my first suit with money from that job.Now to dig out the Red Wing oil and get ready to go shopping … <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairs</a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/shoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shoes</a>

donthatedontkillRepairing things instead of buying a new replacement is nice because:1) The environment 2) Learning new skills and information 3) Afterwards you feel like a strong independent woman who don't need no man 💅<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/green" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#green</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/righttorepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#righttorepair</a>

AI6YR BenToday's random repair task: put iron on patches on two pairs of pants (well... reapplied one, flipped the peeling patch to the inside of the pocket rather than outside). Will see how long that lasts me. Seriously considering pre-patching wear points on the inside of my pants BEFORE they wear a hole now (edge of my wallet, and rear end LOL). <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairs</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a>
