stibFinally got around to rewiring the rear indicator and lights on my car that has been intermittently dodgy for a long time. The person who installed the towbar had wired up the electrics for the trailer by splicing into the loom using those blade connectors and I reckon some of the wires had been damaged. So I opened up all the splices, and soldered them back together. Satisfyingly it worked not only while it was all hanging out of the car, but also when I'd heatshrinked it, wrapped up the loom and screwed all the bits back into place. Current status: looking at my left rear indicator and feeling smug. #IFixedIt
selfhosting.couchsurfingHad a good day making and fixing. My daughter brought her espresso machine over because it had stopped esspressing, after undoing about a million screws I finally found the four screws that you actually needed to undo to get to the guts and found a very obvious cause. The pressure relief pipe from the steamer had come undone, probably because it was clogged with gunk, and the steam and water had corroded the contacts on the pump. I was able to grind back the metal and plastic enough to give me a chance to solder on a lead and new spade terminal. Then I unclogged the steam pipe, and it's working perfectly. Kinda surprised how simple the workings of an espresso machine are TBH. Next, the 3D printer that I got for fiddy bucks on farcebook marketplace 1/2

Arthur DentLaptop Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (7th Gen) als refurbished Gerät 2023 gekauft. Akku hielt mal noch 2 Std. Anfang der Woche war der Akku dann tot. Ersatzteil bestellt und eingebaut. Nach vollladen, komplett entladen und erneut voll aufladen zeigt die Energiestatistik erfreuliche 10 Stunden Restlaufzeit. Wenn das real nur 5 Std. sind wäre das super

JessamynI've had an iPhone since there were iPhones and TIL that you can roll back your contacts to an earlier version of your contacts if you keep them in the cloud.
This is very handy if you get a little overzealous with "remove duplicates" and somehow your sister (and her four phone numbers) is no longer in your address book. #IFixedIt
David Prieto (valerian32)Pues he dejado así los altavoces que me he ido encontrando en la calle para usar con mis alumnes. No se nota nada que estoy viendo el Maravilloso Circo Digital. #amazingdigitalcircus #ifixedit
Come On Giant Asteroid!You can sort of see that the clip is cracked where it squeezes the boom. Cello tape around the boom worked for several years but it eventually cracked enough that the hack stopped hacking. But Heil has service parts and radioworld.ca can get them. Got two so I will have one again in 15-20 years.
The regulator on my mig welder was leaking gas, and a soap bubble test showed it was from the gauge. I initially figured that it was going to be too hard to fix, and ordered a cheapo replacement on aliexpress.
Problem was that I didn't pay attention to the fittings and it came with a female connector when I needed male. Male-male converters don't seem to be a thing for mig gas fittings, so I decided to have a look at fixing the original one.
Pulling it apart revealed that there was a small crack in a soldered joint--it looked like it had probably been like that since it was new, which explains why I've been going through gas at such a rapid pace. So got the propane torch out and reflowed the solder and I'll be buggered, the leak is fixed. #IFixedIt #DIY
So does anyone need a mig (argon/CO2) regulator with a W21 female inlet? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007347321727.html Yours for the postage, or pickup in inner north #naarm.
