Flock of Nazguls (flockofnazguls@mastodon.flockofnazguls.com)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jun-2024 13:17:39 JST Flock of Nazguls Just watched Carpenter's "The Thing" (1982) for the first time.
Came for the jump scares. Stayed for the disturbingly bang-on allegory for how in 2024 AI is devouring everything in its sight in order to project grotesque replicas of what it's devoured. Holy shit.

LOL

Flock of Nazguls (flockofnazguls@mastodon.flockofnazguls.com)'s status on Monday, 27-May-2024 05:09:57 JST Flock of Nazguls Dear #synthdiy Mastodon: I have an NLC Squid Axon with a burnt component (I’m guessing a capacitor from the shape). I really want to get this fixed, but have never picked up a soldering iron.
Is it doable for me to fix this myself given my lack of electronics experience? What’s the minimum I would need to know?
I’d like to be able to attain a sufficient skill set to repair my modules, but not sure what the most efficient way to go about that.
Any suggestions are welcome. I’m missing my 🦑.

Flock of Nazguls (flockofnazguls@mastodon.flockofnazguls.com)'s status on Monday, 27-May-2024 05:09:55 JST Flock of Nazguls Here's the rear face. The burnt part is in the upper left quadrant, unsurprisingly near the 10-pin cable connector. Although I'm usually assiduous about aligning the red stripe on the cable properly, it looks like that time I got it wrong, hence the damage.
Unlike some of my other modules, prying this one apart appears to be non-trivial, so I don't have a pic of the back of this PCB

It's a handy little DAC/Amp that talks to the phone via Bluteooth with high-fidelity audio protocols; meanwhile there's a 3.5mm jack for the earbuds. Works great, especially with Android, which is notorious for messing with audio.
