I am so over Nintendo's poor quality Switch joycons. I have now repaired joysticks many times, replaced sticks with new parts, replaced the sticks with hall effect parts, replaced flex cables, resoldered the shoulder buttons, resoldered the + buttons.

Imagine the $$$ if I wasn't good at repair...

Cameras installed. Reconfiguring someone else's home Wi-Fi from their phone while up a ladder in 58F isn't as much fun as I remember.

Today I will be making the mistake of drilling holes in the MIL's house to install Simplisafe cameras "wherever you think is best". Working down my #thanksgiving visit checklist.
