#NewJersey: #BernardsTownship #Library To Host New #RepairCafé

On May 31, various volunteer repair experts will be available at the Library to help make all possible repairs free of charge.

Alexis Tarraz, May 23, 2025

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — "What do you do with a broken toaster? Or a bike that needs a tune up? Or a jacket with a hole in the sleeve? Toss it? No way! Bernards Township Library is organizing another Repair Café in #BaskingRidgeNJ on Saturday, May 31.

"Starting at 11 a.m. and ending at 2 p.m. various volunteer repair experts will be available at the Library to help make all possible repairs free of charge. Tools and materials will also be on hand.

"People visiting the Repair Café will bring along their broken items from home. Toasters, lamps, hair dryers, clothes, bikes, toys, crockery... anything that is broken is welcome, and can more than likely be repaired. The Repair Café specialists almost always have the know-how."

[...]

"For more information or to register, visit BernardsLibrary.org, stop in the Bernards Township Library, or call 908-204-3031 ext. 4.

"The Bernards Township Library is located at 32 South Maple Avenue in Basking Ridge."

That's why trends in #VisibleMending, #RepairCafes, and #LibraryOfThings gives me hope. Many of us don't mind 2nd hand stuff, fixing stuff, etc. But it's hard for most folks to find time to do that and earn a livable wage. @cwicseolfor @MatthewToadAgain @alexblock @ciggysmokebringer

OK, so here's the data. Kinda.We're running second in a non-existent race to do the most fixes in the UK this year.

As for the the Fixed / Partial Fix / Binned stats, I'm only monitoring our Binned rate as these are the items that have gone to landfill. Everything else has managed to stay in use one way or another and that is what counts to me.

#repaircafe #repaircafes #fixer #repair

Today was our second #RepairCafe in #RugbyTown in May. Things have, as expected, quietened down a little since we started opening twice a month. Enough items to keep us busy to the end of the session, but not so busy that we have to turn people away. I think that two people did leave without getting their items repaired, but I think that was because they turned up too near to the end of the session. New #repairers joined today too.

I shall confess that I have recently built an adjustable bench top power supply with an old laptop charger and some bits off eBay and I took it with me today to do some real world testing. It passed with flying colours so I'm quite proud of that. (AKA no one died and nothing exploded.)

I'll upload our stats once #RepairMonitor has made them available.

Heute ab 15:00 wieder Repair- und Hackcafé im Hackerspace #bielefeld !

Results from Saturday's #RepairCafe in #RugbyTown. We use #RepairMonitor to log all of our work so that it's captured by Repair Cafe International. This gives us a few stats and thanks to the fact that we have a session on the first Saturday of the month and that we have two sessions per month, we are currently at the top of the Items Through the Door chart. The percentage fixed measure isn't one that we get competitive about. As long as the end of life number is low, then we're happy.

Am 14. Oktober 2025 wird der normale Support für #windows10 eingestellt, und Microsoft begegnet dem mit Werbung, in der zu einem Neukauf aufgerufen wird.

Dabei sind die meisten #laptops und #desktop #computer absolut ausreichend für alles, was Ihr damit machen wollt.

Die alternative? #linux installieren (lassen). Auf https://endof10.org könnt ihr euch auch helfen lassen - findet #repaircafes in eurer Nähe.

Schnell, sicher, keine Werbung, kein Ausspionieren, keine aufgezwungene #KI #AI, kein aufgezwungenes Online-Konto.

Ach, und billiger ist es natürlich auch.

What to do with your Windows 10 machine? There is an answer.

Ideas and posts welcome!
