There's a website that appears in Google search results called dspico (dot) net that claims to be official and it's a scam. If you can help me report that web in Google search results, I'd appreciate it. In the next link
Thank you!

.@RetroBuiltGames designed and built a dream portable monitor that accepts any input. https://t.co/CqIky7EkBa

[Ryan Bates @RetroBuiltGames]

@Nitehack I have the perfect screen setup for this

Here's a 10in hobby monitor you can make. Inspired by these two electron beam boxes: https://t.co/Q6DKVFCYMR

@natalie_thenerd have you ever tried replating (i think its nickel coating?) via electrolysis?

.@RetroBuiltGames' ATmega32U4-based setup enables multimedia PC control using a cheap IR remote: https://t.co/4cCNavtNHN

@natalie_thenerd onshape = free+ cloud version of Solidworks. learning curve is on par for all 3d CAD. bit odd organization structure if you're coming from local disk drive CAD installation environments. good option overall. be wary of not owning any of your designs- they are public.

[Ryan Bates @RetroBuiltGames]

@digikey yes! it's wonderful. but was inquiring on a platform that offers monetary kickbacks to persuade hobbyist crowd away from amazon.

[Ryan Bates @RetroBuiltGames]

tutorials that need your to order a PCB with gerber files but provide amazon links to buy all the passives. why? "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases with no added cost to you." @digikey can you build incentives for better BoM and documentation?

[Ryan Bates @RetroBuiltGames]

@digikey no. asking you to help all of us. Build a creator incentive system (similar to amazon affiliate links ) so hobby projects learn to create BoMs using authorized suppliers and pick-up better engineering documentation habits in their technical projects.

@DerekPascarella acetone neutralizes superglue, but test on a junk PCB to observe effects on the silk and soldermask.

[Ryan Bates @RetroBuiltGames]

@RobertDaleSmith we are building this at work! any gotcha's you ran into?
