I wish you luck and I hope it goes smoothly.

I've been guilty of doing that more than once.

I can do that. It's just about my bedtime but I will ping you tomorrow and walk you through things to check. I'll send a friend request from candicemakes7475 .

Would you like any help troubleshooting it? I'm pretty handy with electronics repair.

Do you have a pinout map for the connector? Might be worth making sure the V+ and ground pins aren't dirty.

As someone who is into artifacts I am right there with you.

That's a great design and oh my gosh the shading is so perfect!

Wow! The estrogen is treating you well. The first year is definitely the hardest but you're doing great from what I can see, keep on with the incremental approach. I'm rooting for you. :⁠-⁠)

Every time I'm in the city I grew up in I drive past the first house I lived in and wonder what it's like inside now.

Oh yeah! Being able to access the Internet on a tiny device like that (albeit strapped to an external modem) felt like downright magic back in the day.

I think he dropped this.

A LOT of people out here were definitely paying attention.

I wish I could show this picture to 12 year old me, let me know that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, even if it was a long way off.

That sort of thing gets easier the more you do it. Kudos and good job, I know it's scary to do.

Aaand to close out the saga, I was so sore today that I had to take it off to recuperate. Arm flailing bad for panda.

Hah, lovely stab at Jenkins.

Guh, as someone who was a tiger in the 90s and in the late 2010s switched to splitting time between being a red panda and raccoon I find no flaws with this assessment.

Mostly hoping to listen in on air traffic from the nearby airports and in general see what all I can pick up locally. I've never been happy with the small antennas I had for my SDR so I decided to step up to something a little more sensitive.

They look to me like cheap screw anchors, guessing for masonry since they aren't the split type.

I'm a big fan of Elote Seasoning on popcorn. This is my current favorite brand, but there are several good options out there.

That is a spectacular outfit! Really love the pop of purple against the monochrome stripes.

Ahh, thats a smidge beefier, might just be a little power hungry by comparison.

Which processor do you have? Mine is the Ryzen 7 7840u. Wonder if its a silicon difference?
comment in response to post
Fusion 360, Brotato, Halo Masterchief collection, Forza Horizon 4, and Dungeon Clawler mostly. If I just play Brotato and Dungeon Clawler I get closer to 6, Fusion 360 just under 4.

Huh! Sorry to hear. Not sure what you judge as terrible, I usually get 4-6 hours on a charge out of mine for reference.

Niiiiice, like it so far?

This reminds me that I really need to make a plan for my maker space in case I unexpectedly pass. I'm sure a school could use all the tooling.

Much appreciated. ^⁠_⁠^

I'm such a sucker for a spiral staircase. That room is -perfect-.

Oh gosh, I love John Ball Zoo, haven't been there in ages. Hope it was a phenomenal time!

I had a Palm IIIc and V back in the day and wow what I would have given for a physical keyboard like that!
