Synth/retro computing nerd. I make software for Windows. Hack all the things. Dad. Occasional hardware tinkering/repair in the spare time I don't have.
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...

Slickdeals has a 120 piece bit/repair kit for $15 w/promo code. If you love repairing stuff as much as me it's super useful. Get into all those device where the manufacturer has used a horrific combination of specialty screws..

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.
