Sometimes I wish I was a grifter because the amount of time I spend trying to iron out little things for this build is crazy.
I have unfortunately neglected my store and my other projects that pay the bills... BUT I COULD NEVER cause the satisfaction of it coming together nicely is just 🤌🏻

I love the TPS61202, like that's my girl. DC boost converter, low input voltage, always reliable. But it's kinda expensive. TI recommends the TPS61023 as a newer alternative but no matter how many times I try it, it's just not the same

Had to repair some ripped pads and rusted volume slider but the #GBA sp should be back in working order now. Big thanks to @nataliethenerd.com for all the board scans. Would have taken a lot longer to find that broken trace without them.

Tell me why, I bought a pack of Panasonic coin cell batteries from Amazon, yet the voltage is lower than the ones I have in the carts from 1998

There's this dumb, very racist narrative that the southern European immigrants post WW2 worked harder and integrated into Australian society, rather than *bad* south Asian and middle eastern immigrants of the current generation. I found this comment on a post about Italian immigrants. #auspol rant

Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

Just Australian things, I found a dead little spider in my purge wiper
I've been battling with my bambu A1. The corners have been bulging and I noticed it's because the edges are over extruding? I am so tired I've been obsessively trying to calibrate it

Imo, trans women are one of the most targeted groups because they are women. They """choose"" to be women. No one would choose to be a woman so clearly they just want to take advantage of others or win at sports (heavy sarcasm).
That's how I interpret it anyway as a cis woman.
