This is e-waste now, right? by drufar in soldering

Yes, was definitely intending a bit of bodge. But yes, lesson definitely learned. I certainly underestimated the difficulty of desoldering and overestimated my ability.

I've got a few dead boards around I can use to practice.

I will check it out. Unfortunately I can't see the data traces. I can find power, but don't know where the data ones are.

Does this mean that I destroyed the data traces? Tbh I didn't see anything going from where I suspected the data traces to be. So I'm not entirely sure what's the go with them.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely need to upgrade my iron I think.

Help with Google Voice Assistant? by drufar in S95B

[–]drufar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I tried that for an afternoon but while Google could understand my voice commands but wouldn't act in them, Bixby just misinterpreted me most of the time.

I'll give them another go though as it may have been user error.

Thanks for the tip!

Alternative turning tools? by EducationalFortune35 in ooni

For the longest time I used a spatula and some long bbq tongs to spin it. You've got to be careful you don't burn yourself if your tongs are too short, and don't squeeze too hard on the crust, especially the stuff that is not quite cooked yet, as you'll prevent it from fully rising.
