A cheap LED strip light broke for the second time. The first was when the surface mount connector for the rechargeable battery came off the board.
This time I found that a leg had broken off a surface mounted chip - right at the chip's body! I managed to re-link the chip to the board with some wire wrap wire.
Not sure how long the fix will last considering the fault might have been caused by the PCB flexing when plugging in a USB-C cable to charge the battery.
The daylight robbery at the Louvre happened with visitors already inside and “as staff complained that crowding and thin staffing are straining security.”

Thieves have pulled off a daring heist at the Louvre, stealing priceless Napoleonic jewels. On Sunday, they used a basket lift to access the museum, smashed display cases, and fled with the treasures. The theft happened in the Galerie d’Apollon, where the French Crown Jewels are displayed. Officials say the operation took only four minutes and was carried out by professionals. The Louvre has faced criticism for understaffing and security issues. The museum closed for the rest of Sunday as investigators began their search for clues. The heist has sparked political debate in France.
Our town's fall festival purchased a number of "cheap" android tablets to use as Square POS terminals. #Shocker They didn't work with the aux/headphone jack card readers, and they wouldn't stay connected to WiFi. They were basically useless. #YouGetWhatYouPayFor
I think for next year, we will invest in some iPads mini so that we have working tablets.
