I've been quite happy to see that the silly #repair stickers I designed some time ago quickly have been grabbed from the sticker pool at #GPN23 😊

If anyone wants their own for home or repair cafe use, I uploaded everything here for free use: https://github.com/Frickler01/repairstickers/

Spread the word of repairability!

(also it's been my first time ever using inkscape and github, be gentle 👉 👈 )

Hello people! I've been on the Fediverse for couple of years now, so here's my re- #introduction

I'm Ari, better known by my tag APZ and this is my #pinball repair, #arcade and #retrogaming account. I mostly post about playing and repairing pinball machines, but I also work on #retrocomputing with all the classics.

An IT guy by day, I moonlight as a public pinball arcade here in #Finland with my partner @quester. This is purely a hobby of mine and I do this to keep my sanity and to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. At the moment I own a bit over 30 pinball machines from 70s to 2020s.

A lot of what I do involves #electronics, #CAD for now obsolete parts and #3dprinting and tabletop #cnc to recreate them.

I love to #travel, usually to meet like-minded arcade collectors. I have a strong preference to #repair stuff instead of throwing it away. I'm a #linux user since mid-90s, having been part of #foss movement most of my life.

I have an HP Chromebook x2 11 that was working great, but the display backlighting just stopped working and you can barely see anything. I had to figure out it was working by using an external monitor.

I was able to disassemble it, but I'm not confident of buying a replacement online, which would already cost like $70. It's not clear to me if this is a display with glass that only needs connecting the two ribbon cables, or there is more work: https://www.amazon.com/GBOLE-Replacement-Chromebook-11-da0000-Digitizer/dp/B0DLBG1X23
