Proper little intro:

Hi I am Natalie, known as Natalie the Nerd. I am mostly known for my led kits for the Game Boy line.

I like to learn and make PCBs. I am self taught and like to share what I learn with others freely online
It's not perfect, but I did a small amount of polishing on this PSP 3000 shell and it looks good

Added the USB C PCB edge connector to the DSPico cart to replace the micro USB port. I'll see how it goes and then fork it.

I've said it before I'll say it again, a thermal cam is really a cheat code when it comes to fixing electronics

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I am sure one exists, but I want to make something that pulls all my social media messages in one place since this year I have cut of social media A LOT. I like talking to people it just feels like I have to tunnel through bs all the time

I love you guys seriously. When I ask a nooby tech question I always get good advice and answers - especially with self hosting!

This poor iPod I picked up. I just realised the connector was gone as well... Makes sense why that tvs diode blew

I'm being transvetigated on twitter again. And that's why I stopped posting on there and my business has suffered <3

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

iPods are so annoyingly temperamental
