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.

I appreciate the public fire. It does not overrule, replace, or invalidate his poor record on human, civil, and especially minority rights. 1994 Republican, and a symbol of the Overton Window.

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.

The FBI - now run by online influencers, hair tonic salesmen, and talk show hosts - has become a shell of its former self. The next President is going to have an enormous job to rebuild it.

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.

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.

Insight: ICE is cracking down on people who follow them in their cars Becky Ringstrom was heading home after following federal immigration officers in her gray Kia SUV in suburban Minneapolis when she was suddenly boxed in by unmarked vehicles.

@reuters.com Why did your editor staff choose not to highlight that these arrests are blatantly illegal and unconstitutional in this headline? www.reuters.com/world/us/ice...

"ICE illegally arresting people who follow the law" is more correct.

Concentration camps.

That is what we call government-run facilities to house the government's "undesirables" in squalid and dangerous conditions.

Why are you minimizing the severity?

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.

Trump is mentioned in the Trump-Epstein Child Rape and Trafficking Files more often than Harry Potter in Harry Potter.

Twice as often, actually.

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

So a Trump employee had a death letter ready to go one day earlier than the Trump administration's official statements and timeline.

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.

Trump 1 DOJ said it was Saturday the 10th. Why?
