Old member returning

[GhostyG]

Hi there!

 

I had an account on here a while ago but lost it to time and decided to start up here again today. I have been into electronics since I was a little girl and started by taking apart old clocks I found at Salvation Army. I got into gaming young also and had mostly Nintendo from N64 up to the Wii. I played on the family PC and loved Zoo Tycoon along with Halo CE for the PC. Now I try to put electronics back together when they are broken or fix small things here and there. 

 

I would love to see a world where people have easy access to ways for them to learn how to fix their own tech weather it be a computer or a car. People deserve to be able to fix what they can instead of just buying something new when an item breaks.

the truth is a lot of modern stuff is designed to not be repairable, thin plastic hinges on otherwise expensive  devices, for example if they break you're pretty much sol most of the time... 

 

or micro soldering, who does that? pretty much no one, here at least. 

 

not saying its not ok to repair something of course, its just a lot of time either not possible or would be really expensive  - since unlike in another time, things are *designed* to break and not be repairable.

it's a FIAT

Which one? I've had several, X1/9, 128, 124. Loved them all, but not synonymous with reliability.

It's a nice car until it overheats and starts smoking. I installed bright LED lights so others can see I'm actually braking/turning and stop bumping me.

Love it. Wish they sold them over here in USALand
