Multiple faults Trying to fix an issue on a Panasonic boombox rx-3940 from the 80’s

So I noticed when the boombox is on the cassette mode and you hit play there’s an electric pulsing sound that could be heard from the speakers going pop pop pop pop pop, doesn’t matter if there is a tape in there, I’m looking at what could be wrong and on the playing head this little red wire caught my attention, should I resolder it? Apart from that, the motor that spins the mechanism is bad the adjustment screw has no affect on the speed and is loose, when it did spin it was very noisy so I desoldered it and have played music using a cassette to 3.5mm adapter, I’ve been trying to find the same motor but can’t find one, what motor can I get to replace it? Also the deck is missing all of its belts (disintegrated) how can I get those? So far I’ve used the mechanism without an actual tape I’ve just used a cassette to 3.5mm adapter which doesn’t need the motor to be working but I’d like to fix it so I can play actual tapes as well. Please help note I’m not an expert I have very basic soldering skills when it comes to electronics. Thank you for reading!

Can’t wake iMac using keyboard or mouse after updating to Tahoe

Just updated my iMac to Mac OS Tahoe and after the update, once the computer goes into sleep mode, the only way I could get it to wake up is by hitting the power button on the iMac itself, before on sequoia I was able to hit any key on my keyboard or move the mouse and the computer would wake up to the Lock Screen, how can I fix this? Thanks for reading!

MacBook Pro 2015 questions/situation

So I went to swap out my fans on a 2015 MacBook Pro 15 inch because one of them was making a scratching noise, initially I took the fan from the troubling side out and opened it and did not see any debris, the fan was clean and still made a scratching noise from the bearing so I thought I’d replace it, I got a pair of different fans now but looking at the MacBook I’ve noticed a few things around it, one of the screws looks like this (I attached it) could this be a sign of something was spilled on the laptop before I owned it? Also on the inside of the bottom case there are these little permanent marks in the metal that I’ve noticed is also on the plastic parts like the speaker inside the laptop, how would this have happened?

Needing a camera or doorbell camera for apartment that records all the time

I’m 20F, random people keep coming to my apartment door late at night and yanking the knob trying to get inside, I think a group is trying to get in and squat or break in, I want a camera that will record everything, at the moment I have a blink door bell the latest one that’s on AA batteries and that camera doesn’t record everything, there’s a time limit on how much it can record then it cuts or if the person isn’t there for long realizing they are on camera the camera doesn’t record since they aren’t standing looking at it long enough, but most altercations are longer than 30 seconds, I would like something that captures everything and not cut out when someone’s yanking on the door, I’m concerned if they actually get in the camera won’t actually record that and my evidence is non existent, what kind of camera should I get? I was thinking a ring that’s wired that can record 24/7, my door or actually on the trim has a small little doorbell button that makes a buzzing noise come out of the intercom as an I guess digital doorbell, I think it’s from the 80s?, could I somehow take that button out and use the wires from that if this was the route I’d take, please send me some recommendations on what I should do or what cameras are out there. Thank you for reading!

What’s the difference between these MacBook Pro fans? One with a metal cap and one without

So one of the fans on my 2015 15’ MacBook Pro started to make a scraping noise and I plan on replacing the fans as a pair since they don’t cost much, I’ve noticed there are fans with a metal like cap on it and ones without it, what is the difference between these variations? Is one an improved one? Both fans are for the same laptop model

Thinking of getting a model U shape but don’t think it would work in my place..

Hi, I’m thinking of getting one of those midea U units, but I’m aware you have to drill and screw into the window frame, most people’s frames I’ve seen are wood and it’s possible to drill but my window frame is all metal, how would I go about drilling and even installing the bracket? Another concern is even if I do get a hole drilled in the metal it might be a hollow thin hole, no threads or anything for the screws to hold up on. Also don’t know if this might be useful but the window does have a metal lip. What should I do?
