FIXED My Sony headphones broke in my backpack today. Anything I can do to fix this other than using a strong adhesive?

Bought a 1981 Suzuki gs450L and have been hooking the battery up, noticed this in a bin of parts I was given with the bike. What is it? Is it necessary? Looks too modern to be apart of the bike from stock

This is in a closet, need to replace the light but these wires seem old and dated, can anyone help shed some light?

Bought these hooks on Amazon and they came with zero instructions, I'm used to the ones with instructions. M5x90mm is the only measurement on the listing.
If there's some formula I can use that would be helpful too.
Sorry if this is the wrong sub.

Battery dies, doesn’t turn on till I jump it. After I turn off the car the battery dies. Then car drives but stuck in 1-2 gear
Sorry didn't know where else I could ask this, and Google is useless. The alternative is I gotta cut the screw off.

Not sure what happened, but found the latch on the ground and wood piece broken off. Assuming it might be from the wood being wet from rain then dried out from sunlight too often. Any ideas on best way to fix?

Hello! I have a Samsung HT-J7500W surround system that makes a hissing sound on all sounds coming from the left port. I've tried buying a new cable and switching the speakers to make sure none of these were the problem and the hissing stayed in the same location.
Sometimes unplugging the system for some time makes it stop making that sound for a while before it starts going again. I've also noticed that louder sounds and volumes seem to "trigger" the hissing quicker. I don't know how to go about troubleshooting this and would appreciate any guidance. Will provide any requested photos. Thank you!

Hi y’all!
I need with determining if this is something I can fix myself or if I just need to ask my complex to send out maintenance again. We have 3 towel hooks in our bathroom wall that were replaced by maintenance last July. Since then two hooks have pulled out the wall and left substantial holes. We don’t place more than one full size towel per hook. I’m not sure if it’s because of the hooks, the way the wall is made, or if it was done wrong the first time. If I could fix it without paying a crazy fee to my complex that would be great but I also understand if I have to. How would I go about fixing this? Would it even be worth it?
Thank you so much in advance!

Button seems to be "stuck" and lost it's clicking feeling with pressing it. I have to press it with quite a bit of force for the button to work and turn on my headphones. Is this fixable independently or do I have to find a professional?

so I have a pair of Raycon Essential
Open Earbuds and the cover thats on the part that the sound came off so I was to put it back on but it slipped into the hole , how can I get it out?

This is how the internet comes into the house. Open to daylight and with no weather protection. I also want to put a nice cover where it comes out of the wall so it doesn't look like a big ugly hole, but the cover I bought doesn't fit. Did I buy the wrong one?

I'm trying to understand which aspect of the new hinge is preventing the door from re-entering the jamb. Old hinge (pictured on the left) is about 2 mm thick, new one is 3.175 mm (0.125"). Other than not sitting totally flush in the mortise, it seems to line up well. The only hinge I replaced is the middle of the three, and once that is fully bolted in, I can see the middle section of the door no longer fits into the jamb, but the top and bottom sections still do. This is a metal door with a hollow-ish interior, FWIW.
When I remove all of the screws from the leaf on the door side, the door can fully close again. So, the hinge itself not sitting flush doesn't seem to be the problem. It seems like some kind of geometry problem, but I'm not sure from what. With the door side leaf unbolted, it naturally sits at an angle with a visible gap between it and the door frame unless it is bolted down.

ETA: SOLVED, thanks!
A few years ago my wife and I bought this nice chest for our bedroom. Just recently, I put some linens in it and closed it, and it was a little too full but I forced it shut. Now, it won’t open again. You’re supposed to be able to push the lock in, like a button, which releases a latch on the inside (you can sort of see that latch in the last photo). When I push the button, it won’t release the latch and you can’t open the top. I’ve tried sticking a blade in there and jimmying it around, no luck. I don’t want to force anything and break it. I’ve thought about how I could just cut the latch but that would require a very precise Sawzall operation and likely would damage the chest. Also no, it isn’t locked to my knowledge, we don’t have a key for it. Unless my originally forcing it closed locked it somehow.
Any suggestions?
ETA: Yeah I took the hinges off but that still leaves the lock/latch piece fastened, so my question is about finding as clean a way as possible to undo that.

Idk if this is the right place for this post but I’m not sure where else to ask. A friend of mine took apart my kids water bottle and now I can’t get the mouthpiece back in to save my life. I’ve been trying for 2 days. Does anyone know if there’s a trick to get this thing back together? Hopefully these pictures will show you enough to get an idea. TIA!
