I’d be interested!

I used non-polarized ceramic caps when I did my PowerBook 150 and Duo 230 LCDs, both are working fine: 3.3µF - 35V - SMT - MLCC - Mouser 810-C3216X7R1V335M6A However, before I knew about that option I did use these tantalums when I did my PowerBook 100 LCD, which work just as well: 3.3µF -...

I recently picked back up on this, sparked in no small part by getting a 3D printer for Christmas (a Bambu Labs A1 mini). This lead me to go with option A and learn some 3D modeling, starting with how to tweak existing models somewhat using FreeCAD and YouTube tutorials. I decided to modify...

As I'm the one who asked, thanks very much for posting this. I do agree with others (like @JDW I think?) that it is important that a wide net is cast to get feedback on this issue and I had incorrectly guessed that this reach out to Tinker different Discord users may not have been done in a...

I appreciate your explanation of your intention but I think it's important to let people know how they are coming across to others in their communications regardless. The mutual poking fun you refer to seems quite passive aggressive in my opinion. Of course this is only my opinion so I certainly...

Nor mine. No doubt there have been serious data loss issues over the years at 68kMLA but there are a lot of folks that participate there (and not here) with extensive knowledge that I find helpful. Likewise I'm also here because the reverse is also true. I do think it might be a good idea to...

Where I'm from this sounds a bit like someone who says "Bless your heart" when they mean the opposite, please don't make a joke of legitimate efforts to keep a thread on topic. Those of us commenting on some things being off topic and best suited for a new thread in the feedback thread have just...

If your intention was to ask/post about the question of "Extending the term length of the board" on discord then I get what you are saying. I haven't looked to see if anyone has done that (guessing not). I definitely get your point about about Thinker Different Discord syphoning off...

I voted for longer terms (up to 3 years) but I do think it is really important that the terms for the board positions are not aligned/co-termed. It may make it harder to transition to but the benefit of overlapping terms seems clear to me when it comes to transition and knowledge transfer. I...

I don't necessarily disagree but isn't this a truly separate issue from the "Extending the term length of the board" topic of this thread? Perhaps a new thread under Feedback?

This stuff is my favorite super glue specifically meant for plastics: SureHold Plastic Surgery® Super Glue https://surehold.com/adhesives/plastic-surgery/ Where possible I also like to reinforce with epoxy (JB Weld).

Okay, but then why? Having a regulated Vendor area was supposed to be a plus for this forum/community, right? Is there anything to be said about the "unforeseen circumstances"?

Um... pretty nebulous statement. What is this about? Tinker Different being sued or something?

Oh how we all seem to love the minutiae! Let‘s go with lowest model number PowerBook! 😊

I’m intrigued by the PowerBook 100 for its uniqueness, as I am similarly for Macs with unique cases, features, and/or “firsts”/“lasts”. Off the top of my head/best recollection: Unique case, not used again Outside Sony design First “PowerBook” First Mac with no built in floppy drive Last...

I paid $69 for my 2.5L Elma TEC Clean A1 Ultrasonic Cleaner Solution, I used about half of it when I set it up ~ Jan 2021 in my basement. I've since used it to clean a few dozen boards. It's a bit yellow looking now, debris settled at the bottom, so I'm thinking about flushing and starting over...

I do a bit of cleaning before putting boards in my ultrasonic cleaner but certainly I don’t remove all the flux/residue. With the cleaning solution above they come out squeaky clean for me. For boards I put through the cleaner I mainly just try to remove any bulk flux that’s easy to do so, my...

I'm by no means an expert but I've always heard folks saying to use a cleaning solution designed for electronics and distilled water. This is the stuff I use currently (although looks like its only available in the huge size right now via Amazon) with my VEVOR 30L Ultrasonic Cleaner: Elmasonic...

Are you using a board cleaning solution?
