Hi! I'm Soren/Joseph/Dodgy. Nice to parasocially meet you! I'm a Perth-based Mechatronics engineer, furry, and all-around social menace. This account is practically defunct, I'm much more active at meow.social. Minors dni!

This is a public service announcement to never ever use Oracle

All SMD electrolytics replaced with tantalums, and I've removed the amp chip for testing.

Only one I'm not sure about was a 22uF that was possibly nonpolar?? I've replaced it with a polar tantalum, so if something goes bang I'll know what's up

It's the front board of a Bose Wave Music System 3. Every SMD electrolytic capacitor in these goes bad, so shotgunning them is apparently the safest option when repairing.
Dodgy Engineer fans have not been eating well recently, so here's what I'm up to:
I took an archive of my old Shitter accounts in preparation for deleting them. I really was a whole different person before 2021-ish huh.

Headbanging (rave) vs Headbanging (floppy drive)

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

Closing every JIRA ticket I get assigned tomorrow with “Will Not Fix - probably a solar storm-induced bitflip"

This crossing is where a cyclist was hit 2 days ago by a b-double truck while crossing with a green light.

The cyclist was told he is unlikely to ever be able to walk again.

The safety of this crossing relies on truck drivers turning on to a motorway on-ramp to expect and look for cyclists and for cyclists to know that trucks will be doing that while cyclists have a green light.
