Here I "tinker" with things, mainly electronics and computers. You will see repairs, reviews and anything that arrives on my bench! Happy watching and thanks for visiting!!
After my failed attempt to fix one of the Voodoo video card I received from a supporter, I shipped it to Alex @bitsundbolts Alex worked on it and... well, I won't spoil it but suffice to say he developed a whole new software tool to diagnose the fault.
Please take a look at the video which is nothing short of extraordinary!
You might have noticed that I haven't published a video in a while. This was a planned delay as I am busy with work until the end of January. I plan to resume with videos in February. In fact, I have already half-edited the next video (see thumbnail below, an Onkyo 806 VERY COOL to repair) but I won't be able to finish the repair before the end of the month.
And yes, the Thumbnail assumes I will be able to fully fix the Onkyo, I am being optimistic as it's still only half-fixed! :D
Plenty of projects in the pipeline, it's just lack of time.
Hope to see you soon, wishing you all a great day!
Forget about "rejuvenating" CRT tubes, that's a hit and miss process, often providing short-lived improvements. We can now REPLACE THE GUN of a CRT. That's it, someone can OPEN the CRT and replace the electronic gun inside. How cool is that???
@bitsundbolts has been working on an amazing project involving RAM upgrades for old Creative AWE sound cards! Take a look at the progress, it's honestly mind-blowing
I've been complaining to Topdon a few times urging them to fix the Thermal camera Windows software I use with my TS001 which has a big issue: the temperature fonts used are very small on a high DPI screen. To the point where the temps are unreadable. Today I've finally received a BETA version of the new software. It appears to have been fully re-designed (why!). Now the temperature font is VERY big but still cannot be changed and doesn't have a border so when the background is the same colour of the text, it's still not very readable. Plus, I see quite a few important drawbacks - so I reported back to them and fingers crossed.

Alex (@bitsundbolts ) designed something really cool which I am going to explore myself in a future video: the AirMeter!
It's seriously cool! And apparently those multimeters are very good for low voltages!
