This is how it's done. Fix things instead of paying big corps a fortune!

My 2019 MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Core i5, 8Gb RAM, 13” screen, 4 Thunderbolt ports, Touch Bar) now running an @iFixit replacement battery (today’s project) has done me all the service it needs to.
It can’t update macOS any higher than Sequoia 15.7.n, but will certainly happily continue to do that or run some flavour of Linux such as @linuxmint. The Touch Bar has the blinkies when at rest, but works.
I have the original box and power supply to go with it.
If you cover postage and the cost of the replacement battery kit (AU$200), I’m happy to send it to you anywhere in Australia.

I've had this Sanyo dynamo-powered headlight on my bike for eight years, but it'd been disconnected for about five of them...
Finally wired the hub dynamo back up over Christmas and light was dead!

It's been non stop at the #repairCafe here.
The queue was out to the car park.
70 items arrived and many have left successfully repaired! I've heard the successful repair bell ring at least 20 times but a few people snuck out without dinging...

A8 I was worried there wouldn't be any questions about photos!
Just today, I discovered the county installed this at the library. How cool is that? It has a full supply of tools, a pump and a place to hang your bike during repairs.
And our last question of the week:
Q8. It's already mid-January! Do you have any photos, cycling related or not, to share from the past week? Tell us about it!

A painting that I think went better than I expected.
I think gold won’t help or heal what ails us, but it would be useful if billionaire money was redistributed to help the poor.
This series vacillates between fool’s gold & true gold. Gold that repairs, versus gold used to destroy.
I think of true gold as wisdom, discernment, integrity, understanding, compassion, etc.

Thank you for showing this, I never knew how to repair a hole in a knitted sweater, and this solution makes the reparation visible.
