Being self taught means googling "what do you call it when you make one big main.c into little baby c files that all work as one"

Sometimes I wish I was a grifter because the amount of time I spend trying to iron out little things for this build is crazy.
I have unfortunately neglected my store and my other projects that pay the bills... BUT I COULD NEVER cause the satisfaction of it coming together nicely is just 🤌🏻

I love the TPS61202, like that's my girl. DC boost converter, low input voltage, always reliable. But it's kinda expensive. TI recommends the TPS61023 as a newer alternative but no matter how many times I try it, it's just not the same

Had to repair some ripped pads and rusted volume slider but the #GBA sp should be back in working order now. Big thanks to @nataliethenerd.com for all the board scans. Would have taken a lot longer to find that broken trace without them.

Tell me why, I bought a pack of Panasonic coin cell batteries from Amazon, yet the voltage is lower than the ones I have in the carts from 1998

There's this dumb, very racist narrative that the southern European immigrants post WW2 worked harder and integrated into Australian society, rather than *bad* south Asian and middle eastern immigrants of the current generation. I found this comment on a post about Italian immigrants. #auspol rant

Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

Just Australian things, I found a dead little spider in my purge wiper
I've been battling with my bambu A1. The corners have been bulging and I noticed it's because the edges are over extruding? I am so tired I've been obsessively trying to calibrate it
