a few weeks ago, the charging port on my phone stopped working. luckily, i have a phone from a company that has put repairability as a high priority, so i was able to order a new usb board for 10 bucks and install it myself using their tutorial. i feel very accomplished, i have never repaired an electronic like that before. :)


I also scrape the lint out of someone’s charging port every now and then. Good quality of life improvement when the plug snaps in properly again.
