Last week my end of the Empire state got clobbered by Jack Frost, & we spend the week digging out.
Then this Sunday my computer's replacement power cord broke. Same place the original did. Not surprised, and an unwelcome one...
At library atm, but my time is ltd every day i can make it.

Wish me luck, thoughts & prayers as i need to repair or replace said part, or get a new pc altogether.

I have a feeling GNK & most of the manufacturing companies in Star Wars (except for Czerka) would make a better product...

Update on my sitch: haven't found all the tools to repair it yet. I am hoping to cannibalize the new and old cords t have a 'new' cord that is long enough the huge boxy part of the adapter won't be a problem.
Presently, i am using an old hp laptop a friend gave me. He had rebuilt this thing a few times over, fitting as he put it "all the upgrades the motherboard can take, and Windows Vista/XP is the most advanced operating system it can support." I have since been able to do it one better as there is an Opera browser for my operating system, and that at least has enough functionality i can use this site, and about 60-75% of the Internet, though that is dwindling as more sites upgrade with coding/features that refuse to interact with my OS. IE is 99% useless these days, and the latest Google browser this machine has can barely manage ≈50% of the web at best.
Better than nothing i suppose.
I think this hp was made in the 90s, back when it was still a quality brand. The 'new' hp dates to only 2016/17, and is total ####. Designed obsolescence taken to new levels. i'm not sure which i hate more; the hp Envy or TLJ...

As for the Library; what is normally a 15-20 minute walk (pre-pandemic, in decent weather) is now a 35-45 min hike, trekking thru trenches as often as possible, taking the street when there is no option, which is a bit too often, imho.
Fun wow...
