I attempted to charge a rechargeable torch/inspection light yesterday and it melted the USB cable.
View attachment 332196
I kept smelling a strange smell yesterday and looked all over to see what it was, but didn't imagine it would be a USB charger. Xylia was soaking her feet so I thought it was some sort of aditive in her footbath. I never realised you could get that much power out of a USB socket. It was only a cheap torch off Amazon. I don't suppose I'll be getting another one of those.
Tis always a risk buying leccy items from the likes of ammerzun and ebay. Not all products will have come through the propper supply chain. Factory rejects and cheap copies are too easily sold. Same for companies collecting WEEE fer recycling. It may get flogged to consumers.

Yes, there's an awful lot of junk electronics around. It's like being in Bladerunner.

I see the Chinese government's efforts to prevent China becoming a giant electronic waste dump have yet to have any noticeable effect. There's a thriving global economy in shifting e-waste. I really enjoyed the film of Guiyu in this music video

I'm not that keen on the song, but the video's quite well observed from what I've seen on work trips to China.
 
Merry Christmas all have a restful time and a happy time and lets not forget what its all about! !!!

...that I have been stung a few times on internet "tat" that was thrust at me by YT or whatever. :(
But, I did buy some ear mining kit recently because it was <£20 and I have trouble in that regard with blocked ears.
It arrived today a slim ear "pick" with a tiny shovel/spoon at the tip in silicone; this part is covered over by a clear plastic cap when not in use). Main body about the diameter of an AAA battery.
The "mining" bit is only about 3mm diameter. It's bluetooth connected to an app on your phone and has a miniature camera and a bright light.
Ruddy marvelous, you can target all the debris and lumps of wax and gently draw them out. I am very conscious of how much damage you could do to yourself, so "easy does it", but WOW! It is very effective and very good. I could play with this all day. :)

Well, stick a sign up in the front garden and invite passsers-by in for a while-you-wait ear evacuation. Record the results and put them on Youtube. Those ear clearance videos seem to be very popular. Nice little retirement earner.

I was once told by a hearing care specialist to never stick anything smaller than your elbow into your ear!
 
Yessdi we visited Ripon cathedral, which was throwing a wedding so only just managed to take a few pics in the choir. But it really is cool as these things go. Then went to a little bar that sold SOME AMAZING beers and a few nice ciders. I bought a third of a pint of a beer that was stronger than some wines I have had.
Just finished lunch then beer and cider we bought there washed the Melton Mobray etc down bootiful.
Tea and fancy mince pies in a min, then very fancy sosses and mash for dins.
Got some nice pics of the spectacular dawn this morn as we are right on the top of a "top". Can't post them as took em with my dslr but will put a few up after xmas together with some others where I managed to catch the "shaft of light from the clouds" thing I mentioned a while ago.
Now in here for the rest of today and tomoz.
Do all have a lovely evening and don't let Rudolph nibble your toes!
Merry Christmas one and all!

You'll be missing the LZ Dorset Boxing Day bash if you're swanning around in Yorkshireland. Ironic really, as you know the venue and are supplying the fare. And booze. Again. :vb-party2::vb-party2::vb-party2::dance:😁
