Reparing #RaspberryPi, #OrangePi, #Pine64, #NvidiaJetson and other #SBC as a hobby of #electronicsrepair. 
Really enjoy #soldering and #BGA #microsoldering. 
Love #tinkering with #electronics, especially with #Arduino. 
Also interested in #Linux and #macOS.
Play #Guitar since I was 8.

Something new on the bench - Raspberry Pi 400. This one had a broken micro SD card latch, so I had to replace the slot with a brand new one. Luckily I bought a few for a Jetson Nano back in a day and they are exactly the same ✅.

Then - as always - I ran a stress test and my god this thing has amazing cooling - that internal heatsink is the best mechanism I've ever seen on a Raspberry Pi - 40°C at max load. Wow 🤩.

I have two Pi 4s. I'm going to hold onto them for another 6 months, then sell them and buy my first house. (s s) #RaspberryPi

Checking out #DietPi on #Radxa Rock 4B+ - it works surprisingly well and I adore how much effort devs put into making the tools for the system’s personalization. It’s easier than ever to install needed packages and even choose a GUI. Cool 🙌🏻

Okay... I'm no mathematician & barely understand the difference between letters & numbers but after looking over a few charts that cover the last year, it depressingly looks like:

RAM prices are up 400%
SSD prices are up 125%
HDD prices are up 25%
Micro / SD card prices are up 150%
Processor prices are expected to start their climb.

What's next? I would like to be ahead of the game. I already sold one kidney last year for a graphics card. I really don't want to sell my other.

Been to the cinema just now watching #ProjectHailMary.

Cool, but here’s what I thought: if only there was some kind of a #service that offers movies with real deep scientific context… Movies, that would not only let you experience emotions, but also teach you something new on a serious level.

Would you subscribe if it had movies with both a decent story and, say, deep cuts on #engineering ,#electronics , #chemistry, #biology and so on?

Who knows - maybe someday #AI will be offering lthat.

Sure

Literally no one: –

Me: how about having some unnecessary #BGA #soldering practice in the shape of upgrading #RAM on a #Radxa 4B Plus from 2GB to 4GB? 🤣

Well that did not go as planned.

I used Samsung K4F6E3S4HMMGCJ 2GB RAM chips from #RaspberryPi 4B. With those Radxa would power on, but won't boot and won't go into recovery mode. Only Maskrom works but I wasn't able even to flash a firmware.

Originally it has two HYNIX H9HCNNN8KUMLHR-NME chips - I wonder what makes those different... 🤔

This cute little fella popped up on the bench today for bios flash.

Customer had this very PC already fixed in another shop, then decided to update bios himself and unit stopped posting.

Love how easy this GMKTec K12 is to disassemble really. Though bios chip choice and placement are rather questionable - was unable to reach it with my clip and had to desolder.

Anyways it was a nice and easy morning routine, so why not ✅
