@sheddi @pluralistic @frameworkcomputer @iFixit Meanwhile, if a larger #hackerspace can recruit enough mechanics and electricians (and a couple engineers, if they're not already members) and partner with a suitably equipped garage, there could be a similar market for replacing computerized automotive electronics. Perhaps this would be best paired with an existing #EV retrofit business.

But the appliance retrofitting would have a much lower capital startup cost. Perhaps automotive electronics retrofits could be a sequel to the appliances, seeded with proceeds from those.

🧶 Knitting Our Internet Italy Tour! 🇮🇹

(Versione italiana nel post precedente)

Tomorrow will begin the unbelievable tour of Knitting Our Internet, bringing the workshop around Italy! ⛵

If you’ll be in the places where the workshop will be happening, you are most definitely welcome to join, 🆓 participation is completely free. If you won’t be around, please help me spread the word to friends and curious folks around the country! Everyone is invited. 💕

Thanks to the awesome people who will be hosting me! @collettivodemand @reclaimthetech

✨ Special note: while I will be in Bologna, we are planning to gather in person and collectively attend @fediforum, all together, from Scift, the newborn hackerspace in Làbas!

So today is not going entirely to plan.
The set of additional #solarpanels I connected up refuse to give us juice. I tried to trace the fault and got jack shit info because my cheap ass 19 year old #multimeter is (confirmed by many tests now) not working any more. Its fuse is fine too, as is its #battery. It just displays zeros.
So add to the list of unexpected expenses and delays one new multimeter...

#mutualaid is our lifeline to #selfsufficiency so we can help others. Can you help us out with our expenses for...?

Multimeter: $7-8 at Harbor Freight
Crimp connectors: $?
Tyres: ~$1200 (Vulpibus)
Refilling fuel: ~$100
Refilling my overdraft: ~$500
Refilling my other overdraft: ~$250

#Eth0 is a DIY high-tech geek conference, aiming toward sharing knowledge on technology and IT related fields including hardware, #electronics, 3D printers, networks, #programming, privacy, ethics and #hacking. By day participants hack away at projects & when the sun goes down it's time for beer, club-mate, games - party or chill out! There's always a ton of techy activities, a loaded-out bar and an abundance of #hackerspace activity. Maybe someone brings along lasers to complete the party!

It might look like a clickbait still from a random YouTube video, but removing a cracked camera lens on a phone requires some creativity. Without professional tools, one clever approach is to glue a screw to the broken glass and gently pull it out.

The ingenuity and resourcefulness of people at our Friday Nighthack sessions never fail to impress!

Sometimes, unexpected and even borderline improper things happen during our Nighthack events—like repairing a laptop power board belonging to one of our members! We're happy to report that the laptop is now fully operational, and so is its owner. 🛠️💻

P.S. Nighthacks (our open fridays) are happening each week! Join us from 8 PM onward.
