    @pjf Hi Paul, I remember you were also vulenteering at a repair cafe, you and @shtrom inspired me to do the same. I await my first session.

    I want to start with mechanical and electrical stuff, it feels more achievable than IT. We will see.

    @pbone IT is, sadly, very much of a black box. I cleaned up some Windows installs and phone charging ports. The best I got so far is fixing a laptop's screen hinge, and trying to reset a powertool battery.

    I'm curious about electrical: none of us have a licence, so we stay clear of mains-powered things. Even the battery I wonder if it's taking too much liability.
