It would have been awesome if true.

On the other hand, giving ink cartridges to a child who doesn't know what it is would be a wild trick!

The models with the oval bottom just have that cap pressed into the end with two small clips on the long side of the oval. Deforming the oval into a circle and using a small flat blade screwdriver to pry it out is usually all it takes.

I've successfully desoldered the battery for recharging before. We had one go so completely flat the wireless charging wouldn't work. Putting the battery in an external charger brought it back to life. It was in service for another couple years till a drop in the brush end ruined it.

Better provocative headlines:

"Trump approval still at 39% despite months of controversies"

"39% of US citizens unaware of fall of nation"

Is there supposed to be some equivalence between being politically progressive and not being discriminatory?

The way I see it is we're all equal opportunity assholes, it's just the context that differs. Ones politics does not make one a paragon of virtue.

Fixing things. Repair. Assembly. Construction. Diagnosis. It always surprises me how many people are incapable of understanding how something works or what needs done to repair it.

From engines to furnaces to plumbing, computers, electronics, whatever, I do it all myself. And it's not even remotely connected to me career. Repairmen hate me!

Because these is nothing to do. Literally. I'm sure they'll instigate something.

Calling out contractors publicly may be good for politics but not of you want a heathy supply chain. Especially something like this, which is an apparent AI written report that is summarized to nothing more than "these guys suck."

There are reasons why certain government agencies are supposed to be apolitical and insulated from this kind of behavior. Why would I contract with someone who could ruin my firm at whim?

That said, maybe this level of warning is warranted. I'm assuming this is atypical messaging from the OIG, which to my knowledge was infiltrated by DOGE.
