If you have a spare 15 minutes, I'd encourage you to check out a fantastic interview at the end of this week's podcast I had with my son Jake (16) who's been doing his bit to keep old electronics alive.

He builds and sells PC's with old parts for people that may not need the most high-spec gaming rig on the planet, he recently purchased an iPhone 13 mini with cracked screen and dead battery and successfully replaced it on his own, he's fixed laptops for his school-friend and also me which were running hot because the fans were caked with dust and much more.

Listen to this young, articulate man express himself in ways that many of his age simply don't. You can jump to the last chapter in the video.

I must also give thanks to my daughter Alice for drawing the artwork for the episode as well.

@mcourcel @Lynn I just want everyone to hear that, not for me, but for how great he was. He's not a silly kid. feels like those are few and far between these days. It's sad.
