Found a Lenovo Tab E7 at €5 at a junk market. Looked like it had been dropped, chipped, cracked, didn't know if it worked. Washed it, cleaned it, connected a charger.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Factory reset it, used Universal Android Debloater to remove spyware/bloat, installed FoxyDroid and now it's my ebook reader.

So... €200 cheaper than a colour Kobo and some valuable silicon diverted from landfill.

So I said it would be a few weeks/months before the video version was done but I decided that just would not do!

It's ready now!

Located just north of the 417 in Ottawa on Bank St, 'Lainey's Luck' is a small 'thrift-by-the-pound' store nestled between Galaxy Cameras & Meow! That's Hot!

Inside you will find a large assortment of pre-owned curated items at bargain bin prices!

In this video, I have a short conversation with the owners talking about their origins, mision and wares.

Does anyone here know where to get toner powder for refilling - preferably including chips?

I was thinking last night that I was running out of things in my mending pile for #MarchMending but then I remembered that I fixed this mop yesterday 😅

I think this thing is over 20 years old and the velcro had finally come off so I replaced it with new stuff. I doubt the new glue will last another 20 years but one can hope!

Fond memories of this mop: my friends' kids were very excited by the telescoping handle and spent more than one afternoon fighting over who got to run around my apartment dusting the floors.

Does anyone know where I can find/have a power cord & pedal for this machine?

It seems in excellent condition but I can't test it because I don't have the power cord..
