The crazy stuff you see on Facebook; I'm genuinely worried for the guy, 2,240 - 18650 lithium all soldered, sandwiched between some chipboard.
Total fire hazard π₯
Once my 486 build is complete, I'm going to have a crack at repairing these Cirrus Logic CL-GD5429 VLB cards (I mean, why not):
2x Pine PT-524/8/9S
2x Pine PT-524/8/9G
Happy Friday folks, I'm in my computer workshop (happy place) chilling, I've got no C64 games for now, so I'm going to have a play with BASIC.
Whatever you're doing this weekend, have fun, stay safe and enjoy! πππΉοΈπΎ
What was the first smartphone that had a capacitive touch screen; I'll give you one clue: it wasn't the Apple iPhone! π
PRADA Phone by LG (KE850) (I had one of these back in the day!)
This is going to be very controversial (MD / Genesis), my ranking:
1) Sonic the Hedgehog
2) Sonic 3
3) Sonic 2 (mainly because I hate that Tails steals all your rings) π
Last month I expanded my EV adventures, I have no home charger for my Tesla, but did a 1,000 mile road trip down to Cornwall without any issues. This weekend it's an east coast (England) trip where chargers are even more sparse.

I'm going off grid for a few days, I need to recharge my batteries. Nature, fishing, country walks, family and friends' time.
Catch you guys on the flippity flip!
Did anyone else go to Top of the Pops back in the day, I went quite a few times in the early 2000's. Amazing experience, standing a few feet away from Pink, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Aaliyah.....
I found a spare unused ticket the other day, great memories! βΊοΈ
I showed my youngest son how to diagnose, desolder and resolder a new part. We removed the faulty 'right click' micro switch in this Steelseries mouse and fitted a new one.
He is happy that he has a working mouse and also learned a few new skills. π
