My nephew bent the film advance lever on my Pentax K1000. How do I fix it gently?

My nephew was playing with my old camera last week and forced the film lever. Now it is bent and will not move. I want to repair it myself to show him how to care for things. I took the top plate off and saw a tiny spring connected to the lever. Does anyone know a safe way to straighten this part? I do not want to make it worse by pulling too hard. How have you handled kids breaking gear while still keeping them interested in cameras?

Encrypting my Wi-Fi after a breach, but is it overkill?

My neighbor's network got hacked, so I switched to WPA3 encryption. Some folks say this is a must to block hackers from grabbing your data. I read about a guy who lost cash because his Wi-Fi was open. But other people argue it adds steps when you add new devices. My buddy spent an hour just to get his laptop online at my place. So, does the safety beat the extra work? Tell me where you stand.

My brother brought a full picnic setup on a 10-mile hike and refused to leave any of it behind

Had a backup restore that crawled at snail's pace over the weekend (guess who missed their Sunday plans?)
