The Repair Café is happening today (March 28) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Palliser Pavilion 🔧

If you’ve got something that needs a little TLC, this is the place to be!

Sadly, I’m out of town and can’t make it this time, but I’ll be cheering it on from afar. Hope it’s a fantastic turnout!

📱 The Swift Current Repair Café is tomorrow at the Palliser Pavilion from 10-4!

If you’ve got a phone or other device that needs a little TLC, bring it by — we’ll do our best to get it working for free or at cost.

I believe in repair so much that I’m actsually a board member for the Repair Café. It's a great community event. Volunteers help fix things like vacuums, toys, and laptops. They also keep useful items out of the landfill.

Pro tip: The afternoon is usually a little quieter than the morning, so swing by then if you want to avoid the rush!

PSA: In the past 12 hours, I’ve seen two Android phones infected with malware that came from tapping a link on Facebook. The phones became unusable, with video ads popping up every few seconds.

How to fix it:

1. Open your App list and sort by app size.

2. Look for a suspicious “system” app around 150 MB.

3. Tap to view details, then check the Google Play Store listing. If the listing doesn’t match the app’s description, it’s malware.

4. Uninstall that app to clean your phone.

Stay safe out there—this one is nasty!

Did you know the average person replaces their phone every 2.5 years? But what if we told you there’s a better way—for your wallet and the planet? 

By keeping your device for 5 years instead of 2.5, you can reduce its carbon emissions by nearly half. Stretch that to 10 years, and you’re looking at a 68% reduction!   
As your local phone repair expert, I’m here to help you extend the life of your device. Whether it’s a battery replacement, screen fix, or general maintenance, let’s keep your tech running longer.

Back Market and iFixit are partnering to encourage consumers to keep their phones in service for at least five years—and to pressure manufacturers to extend smartphone support to 10 years.

Fixing phones isn’t my only tech skill! Yesterday, I tackled a golf simulator at Riverview Village Estates that wasn’t working right—and it’s back in action!

Now, who’s up for troubleshooting my golf swing?
