The root issue is that I have no soldering skills to speak of, but especially soldering at this size. If I had those skills: absolutely, any 60-pin flip lock FPC would do.
That's why I'm on the hunt for the exact lock, which certainly makes this harder!

Help needed
Have 60-pin FFC ribbon, pitch 0.5mm. Receiving port is slide lock; lock pulls back from port rear, parallel to PCB. Cable lock = wedging pins to contacts. Lock broke and need to harvest new. Anyone know who makes this?
Overhead view + rear lock catch.

The most Linux problem ever:
My clock and system tray stopped working because a dependency/package randomly broke the ability to load .svg over raster formats.
(Specifics: Waybar can no longer load .svg files in the Image module d/t some unknown project or dependency change. Package waybar-cava).

The year is 1998. I'm 12 and obsessed with the Nagano Olympics. Surya Bonaly nails a single-blade backflip. 30 years later, I still remember it like I was there. Even small details, like the upholstery of the sofa, are vividly recalled.
She deserved, and continues to deserve, better. More.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

I don't believe this for a second. This Administration has repeatedly and vociferously lied about their strategy, tactics, actions, and training.
Minnesota must prepare for a darker and more clandestine chapter of this story. And the next state must prepare for the Feds to wage a spring offensive.

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens β NBC News
About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were βsortedβ at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Let's not mince words:
The Director of the FBI, and the United States Attorney General, are accessories to the crimes of human trafficking, child rape, manufacturing and distributing CSAM, and a conspiracy to cover it all up.
This is the most disgusting and dangerous scandal in US history.

Bombshell Report Reveals Minnesota Officials Were Right About FBI
Local law enforcement officials have been saying for weeks that the FBI refused to cooperate with them.
Trump is at the center of the biggest scandal and cover-up in the history of America. Trump officials and allies have provably molested, raped, tortured, and even killed children. Trump is cited 38K times.
On top of that: they're using the FBI to protect murderers.

And who is Geoffrey Berman? Well well well, he was a Trump hire via Jeff Sessions.

Well isn't that interesting.
Here is a sworn statement from a United States Attorney General disclosing the death of Jeffrey Epstein.
One little problem: all the dates and days in this statement are one day BEFORE the official timeline.
