    This board needs a "Vibe-coded" prefix

    It's good to remember that there is no actual "I" in AI - it is just a glorified copypaste. Of course, calling LLM's "Artificial 'intelligence'" sells them much faster to the masses. So the code generated (or mathematical/engineering etc. solutions) are just lifted from somewhere else - no...

    Well, built, and bought parts (at some point) so I guess this counts, kinda... Inverse RIAA for testing turntable preamps (and for connecting anything but turntables into phono connection of amp if ever there will be need or for just shits & giggles). Layout onto board I had, but the basic...

    As long as it doesn't kill the PC. Dunno if I should be happy for quick(ish) fix or sad for the costs for you. Hope the PSU'll be all right!

    Things you recently bought or got

    :) Compromises between needs, storage space, price point... It's somewhat harder to source older scopes from here - they might be relatively plentiful, but ones in a good nick (not needing a scope to fix a scope...) might be sold more or less privately outside the net marketplaces. And although...

    Yup (late reply I know). The vellum expands from the edge with least pressure and thus the belts kept the pages and the book flat. And yeah, jackets as well. And the really tough books hung around at libraries with chains and whatnot.

    Lovely pieces of kit - used to have lots of those in video (post)production and built to last with great picture quality to boot.

    The Meme Box

    Maybe that's why the WinRAR licensing is able to reach meme levels haha.

    Dunno if anyone noticed or cared, but the scope was bought as "804" - meaning 800 series, 70 Mhz, 4 channels. Now it's "824" so upped to 200 Mhz resolution. FWIW Siglent scopes seem to give quite a good bang for the buck with features out of the box and *cough* some creative key creation...

    Gear for audio build/repair work... ... and spot the dicrepancy :evil: More than decent enough for my needs, with option to later buy 16 channel digital analyzer if I want to dabble with olden consoles and 'puters.

    Stuff from Mouser. Capacitors, resistors, MOSFETs etc. Audio preamp project one step nearer the completion.

    Giving up on modern software.

    Probably you're not bothered when your compromised machine is used as an attack vector against other people either. Way to go...

    Things you recently bought or got

    Bit more gear for slightly more serious electronics stuff: Lab supply and component tester. Now just 'scope and siggen and I'm all set.

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    KiiWii has repeatedly hinted at unpublished stuff for low FW's that might or might not see the light of the day after PS4 is no longer relevant in larger scheme of things. FWIW I keep one PS4 @5.05 and the other at the 9.00 sweet spot. Might be exercise of futility, but if something happens wrt...

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    For now it can. The low firmwares, 5.05 or earlier, have a better chance of getting more interesting stuff in the future. Simple as that.

    Things you have fixed/modded recently

    Previous owner (Luke?) used Force, bit excessively I reckon. Not my finest, but will do (and more practice needed...) And the patient is alive, with Gulikit TMR sticks :)

    Gaming Do you avoid old games that are only playable in 30fps or less?

    As someone with regular human perception and reflexes; no, 30 fps does not bother me a bit.

    Due SSD prices atm I'll go the spinner route anyway if I buy the sucker. I should have 1 TB drive stashed away.

    Easily - and despite warnings my PS4 phat and PS3's with SSD's have been etremely stable, load time savings are minimal though. The TRIM bit isn't turned on by default - but I'm almost certain it would be honoured by the underlying OS if set. PS3+ uses so much of FBSD UFS2 code, I'd say Sony...
