Don't wait until January. Every state legislature meets in 2027. November: introduce your shop. December: show your impact. January: make your voice heard. https://t.co/hzIGyjA3JM

A worn-out battery is a repair. A swollen battery is a safety problem.

Lifting screen, new bulge, won't sit flat? Stop using and charging it, don't puncture it, and call a repair shop or your hazardous-waste program first.

"Vibe coded" my Kindle into a clock/weather/stock ticker dashboard with Grok Bot! Now testing to see how long the battery lasts...if this can sit here like this for weeks, that would be amazing!

Honestly it was not easy and took 2-3 hours -- had to go back to old firmware, jailbreak, then upgrade again, then figure out a 3rd party reader app called KOReader, which allows for custom plugins (my app is basically just a plugin). Full Kindle functionality is still right there, which is nice.

Did way too much manually until I realized you can do wireless SSH to Kindle and then Grok takes over.

Very cool experience though, and I am now hopelessly addicted to designing apps! I learned a ton about Kindle and it’s an amazing little gizmo, although super slow (14 years old, so to be expected).

Will put on GitHub once my GitHub Bot works that out.

In the meantime, KOReader has many other plugins available, so I'm installing the Zork trilogy!

Shop owners: battery swaps keep phones in service, and your customers are asking "do I need a new phone battery?"

Today's https://t.co/Q8w6DIuXG0 guide sends them to a local shop for a diagnosis, not a new phone. Share it.

The Discipleship Crisis

If church goers are by-n-large Biblically illiterate, doubling down on more small groups, more Bible studies, more morning devotions, or even more sermons isn't going to help.

At some point, more of the same becomes a choice of delusion.

Before you quote: Is it covered? Listed? In stock? Does it need pairing or calibration? Do you owe a written disclosure? Then quote it. https://t.co/1muq4BMbq3

Holiday trade-ins: about 30% of phones reaching one big ITAD are still enrolled in corporate device management, and a reset won't clear it. Check Settings > General > VPN & Device Management before you pay. https://t.co/h94zsyyYXZ #TechRepair #RepairPeople

Just a reminder that it’s normal to drive your car until it dies, cook dinner most nights, live in a smaller home, pack your lunch, keep your phone until it stops working, buy used before buying new, make coffee at home, and wear the same clothes for years.

A 2022 ADEME study found a refurbished smartphone avoids roughly 64% to 87% of the annual environmental impact of a new one. Laptops: 43% to 97%. How to buy refurbished with confidence: https://t.co/uqp3fJE4RY

Truth 👇

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Voting Republican doesn’t make you a Christian.

Voting Democratic doesn’t make you a non-Christian.

Voting D doesn’t make you a Christian.

Voting R doesn’t make you a non-Christian.

What makes someone a Christian is faith in Jesus Christ, and expressing that faith in love.

"Grade A," "Excellent," "Like New": refurbished grades mean whatever the seller says they mean. Ask for the definition, and whether it covers function or just looks. https://t.co/uqp3fJE4RY
