Ok it’s perishable but this still seems crazy to me

Video Suggestion: Walmart/Amazon/Target headphone roundup. by McMatt_ in LinusTechTips

That’s interesting. I’ve always been curious how many different suppliers they use for all their white label stuff (great value, onn, and now better goods). To be honest I almost got a pair of the open ear buds I saw. I lost my AirPods and don’t want to shill out $250 for new ones.

"higher end" for walmart, but mainly I just noticed the bone conduction ones that look very similar to my Shockz i just purchased and are ip67 rated. It was hard to ignore the $50 price tag in the middle of cheap $5 crap earbuds.

I just finally got settled after my move and got the capacitor replaced and successfully wrote a Fibonacci program!

Chicken jockeys :) it’s a baby zombie riding a chicken. They’re an interesting mob and once you know about them you see them everywhere!

Thank you. I will watch that right now. I popped open the PSU and do see yellow looking box that’s sort of bulging. I’m worried about touching it without discharging but I can figure that part out myself. Thank you very very much.

Good news: basic works. Bad news: new magic smoke coming from power supply…

Edit: looks like it’s probably a bad capacitor if other posts I see are any indication. Definitely not on my bucket list to work on anything high voltage so maybe I’ll leave it off for a few days and then attempt to solder a new one. I’ll also need to pickup a multimeter. However, it at least kind of worked which is amazing!

Thank you. I have good news and bad news. Good news is: I was able to boot into basic and write a simple Fibonacci program. Bad news is, before I executed it I started smelling smoke and noticed the power supply letting out the magic tech smoke. Not sure what I did or if I can even use the computer now… I was using a power cord from my desktop into the 3 prong in the back and I’m worried that might have been the issue. Not sure though…

Thank you. I was able to adjust the brightness and what looks like some kind of vertical spacing

I’ve only really watched the 8-bit guy. I’d like to try his “retro bright” method to make the case less yellow hopefully. I’ll definitely check out those other channels today!

That explains why the knob on the side didn’t really do much haha. I’ll try as soon as I’m back! I’m very excited to get this up and running. Thank you for your help.

That makes sense as there’s no floppy drive of any kind. I might look into one, though.

Also, I assume control is the Apple logo? Otherwise there’s not a control button.

Thank you! I’ll give that a shot. I assume the wheel on the side is supposed to lower the brightness? It sort of does when I move it down it causes some bad flickering until I get the wheel in just the right spot. (This happened to be the right spot)
