Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Electronics can be difficult, desoldering is tricky and prone to damaging the boards (assuming discrete components that can be accessed); if a micro controller (chip) goes bad…you are SOL without very specialized equipment. Surface mount components are doable with a very steady hand and a magnifying glass and a sharp point on your iron.

    But then the next problem is finding replacement parts.

      I’d probably start with very basic things just to learn. Being able to fix basic appliances would be a nice skill to have. I haven’t had anything really fail in that way, so nothing to practice on
