@PcPhilanthropy Used to work in telecom and as soon as I was sitting, the wrist strap had to be worn. A coworker actually got fired for blowing up 3 prototype laser diodes as a result of not wearing his and zapping them (at 5k$ each prototype).

@S0N1Cua The one that will cooperate in your system. Simple as that! Nice hardware, by the way!

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Same principle as wave soldering. Used such a tip as an RMA tech in the late 90’s and early 00’s. Also supervised a wave station my first week working after the University.

The word recycling is confusing when most of what the 'recycling' industry is doing is downcycling. Check out @sciencewtg and the bullshit that we've been fed for decades.

@noahkagan @nevmed And learn Patent research!

[microBrainiac @BrainiacMicro]

@noahkagan Best advice, ever. The day my career took off is the day I realized that self teaching is way better than having a mentor.

@ATaylorFPGA I used to produce my best work at night time. It all changed around 15 years ago, when I had kids. These days, it usually happens early in the morning, between 5 and 7.

For the consideration of an
ECU or marine engineer tech, in Melbourne, Australia preferably. But help from elsewhere would be okay too

@RDKLInc Both choices can be true. But to me, a hacker (hardware or software, although I prefer the term cracker for software) is a curious mind that wants to understand how things work. Nothing illegal about that. It's what you do with the acquired knowledge that can be illegal.

@MendItAussie Interesting to read something that’s been on the back of my mind for quite some time. Thanks for sharing the link!

"The right to repair has become a big issue for consumer goods in recent years, and the federal government is in the process of amending the Copyright Act to let owners or third-party repair companies break digital locks in order to make software fixes." @BrainiacMicro

@RDKLInc @craig1black , can you help?

@SamsungAU MiA's 2012 #samsung TV on the table on Xmas day being resolded in two spots on the powerboard. Its relay was faulty due to solder cracks. This TV easier to fix than newer models. Leaded solder is better than unleaded for this fix, ioo. #RightToRepair @eevblog @BrainiacMicro 👍👍

@iFixit Used to have a lot of issues, with incandescent Christmas lights. The newer LEDs one seems better, in that regard.

@RDKLInc I had a Hitachi that looked a lot like this. It got destroyed in a house fire and replaced with a Yamaha.

A solution to Apple parts paring cannot “wait until later”. Every Apple device produced today is a device that has absolutely no hope of repair after only a few years. #righttorepair does not address this (video below)
