At long last, I'm looking into #PCB #fabrication. This is a little capacitor education tool I designed called cap-fun.

Why do openAI let ChatGPT (attempt to) do fact-based technical imagery like this? (It’s nonsense)
Electricity and electronics are no joke.
It’ll also draw a completely stupid way to jump start your car.

When a cat is relaxed and stretches one or two paws out into the air it is “touching the ghost of Elton John”.
Yes, Elton’s still alive. But they are touching his ghost anyway. Because cats are special

Well that was a quick “fix”! 🤣
This tv has two power buttons!
One is an electrical isolation 1/0 roller button, and other one is mainboard-based on top of the tv.
I flipped the roller switch to 1.
That’s be $80 sir

Debugging an old flat panel tv that does nothing (that i can see) on power on.
It has a rareish combo of inputs: hdmi composite SVG. So it’s valuable for that.
If nothing else, I could save the panel itself for projects.

My poor Ducky One keyboard died :(
So I’m getting some desoldering practice by liberating the keyswitches and leds (one per key) from the keyboard.
Will probably make some monstrous keyboard thing from the switches in future.
