Right to repair just passed in New York state!

by Andrew R Gross

The New York governor just signed a rate repair bill. It’s the first one, I think, and apparently the industry groups came down on her, super hard after the legislature passed it overwhelmingly. I honestly didn’t expect she had that chutzpah! https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/weakened-right-to-repair-bill-is-si… Now let’s do one here! -- *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Miscellaneous Electronics Available Tomorrow 10:30AM

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: See below: Jack Soares heads the Oakland Tool Lending Library Volunteers and gets calls for estate clean-outs regularly: contact him directly for more details if you're interested. -Peter -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Of Possible Interest: Miscellaneous Electronics Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2022 23:51:21 +0000 (UTC) From: Jack Soares <jacksoares(a)sbcglobal.net> To: petermui(a)gmail.com <petermui(a)gmail.com> Peter-- A real estate agent who contacts me when she have a house with tools to empty has a place in the Elwood District that has to be cleaned out by January 4. Celena and I visited today. The owners had a load of electronic gear and cables that might be of interest to your crew. If not, it's headed to e-waste. I'll be there tomorrow at about 10:30, if you or any of the FixIt folk want to join us. On a Related Front: Years ago I picked up some electronics that had been used to install solar hot water systems. Nice-looking old-style meters that I'd intended to install in our grandkids' treehouse to give it a second life as a space ship or submarine. They weren't interested and the stuff has been gathering dust in my shop. Does that sort of thing hold any interest for you? On a Related Front #2: Picked up many bolts of cloth from an upholstery shop cleaning its warehouse. Four or five of them didn't pass my wife's inspection. Would your sewing shop be interested? And so on like that... --Jack.

Omnicommons.org wordpress compromised, for weeks with no progress?

by Jake

if you go to https://omnicommons.org/blog/calendar/ you see a "sign up for our newsletter: Email address ______________ Subscribe" banner, partially covering up Ashley, 26 (who is online now) but not covering her boobs. It's been like this for weeks apparently (I just noticed) and we don't know what's going on. Does anyone know wordpress and IT security and can take a look and figure out what's going wrong in there? -jake

Laser cutter

by Kyle Schmolze

Hi all 👋 I’ve used the laser cutter at noisebridge a bunch of times but never at sudo room. Instructions here look pretty good! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Big_red_laser_cutter Do people prefer if I get a training from someone at sudo room to use it? I need to do some last minute laser Xmas gifts, hoping to come by tmw afternoon and give it a shot. Thoughts? Alternatively, is there anyone who is comfortable with the laser printer and might be around tomorrow afternoon? Kyle/Max

Has anyone thought about connecting to cool community oriented stores on Temescal?

by Romy Ilano

I've mentioned this before, but there are cool crafts, board games, and thrift stores just across the street from the Omni Commons. I know that the fix it clinic was trying to get some workshops organized with the east bay depot for reuse too. When I bicycle to SudoRoom (as opposed to driving) I usually spend more time at the neighboring shops since they're ont he protected bike lane. (When I'm in the car i just park my car and beeline fro sudoroom heh!). I usually notice each of the shops has a community class night. There was a kitchenware crafts store that had an educational night for learning how to grow mushrooms. The board game shop has community board game nights... an event that we have plenty of tables and equipment for! I don't think we have to be too commercial but there has to be a way to bring all that foot traffic to sudoroom somehow. and not just during special community events. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
