Had no idea this existed! Would you recommend it for people who want to use Bluetooth headsets on Switch? Pros/cons?

Decided to finally hack my Switch so I picked up an RCMLoader One for $10.69 and a SX OS license.

Every time you buy SX OS, God kills a kitten.

I don't see any other way to get emuNAND, and I'm not willing to restore a clean NAND backup every time I want to go online either. SX OS was the only way I could hack my Switch since emuNAND is a requirement.

There was a clean out at work today and there was a spare Weller desoldering station that hadn't been used for a couple of years. Tested working fine, and I got to KEEP IT. These things literally cost hundreds to a thousand dollars. I'm so fucking happy.

That is sweet and all, and I would not say no to adding it to my shelves, but is desoldering gear that useful any more? Ever since everything went surface mount any desoldering is usually to replace a component or maybe harvest a rare capacitor, crystal or socket/connector, all of which can be handled by whatever soldering tool I am using at the time and one of the plunge tube things.

Anyway if we are doing tools today then

Nice little cam locking... I think it is technically a universal vice, or maybe a ball joint vice, but I will be using it for engraving once I put a new vice on it rather than the little spindly thing it has. Will also mean my collection of fun taps and dies will come in handy as that thread is 1/2 inch BSF.

Continuing with the theme of hot air then some bellows in case I am not too lazy and just stick my bouncy castle fan on the forge.

A nice corner brace/joist brace because I don't have one.

Also a lenticular bookmark with some dinosaur skeletons on because who wouldn't?

It's true you won't need it often, but I've found it particularly useful for clearing vias connected to large pads(such as ground planes) since solder tends to stick to them stubbornly. As for SMD, they are pretty nice for clearing pads of solder and reducing the amount of solder wick needed. If nothing else, the station also doubles as a regular solder station, and is a lot better than the one I had.

Renewed my dog license today.

Also my fire red cherry shrimp had some babies. I dont know when and this is the best picture I could get.

There's a thread for pre-orders?

This is "Things you recently bought or got" not "Things you are going to get or buy"

That appears to be essentially what this is. Picture below looks like it's a soldering iron with built in desoldering pump. Of course you can get by with a regular soldering iron and desoldering pump, this just makes it a bit easier and quicker.

A hot air station would be far more useful.

Hot air stations are a no brainer for anyone who does electronic work. I use one at work extensively. I'll definitely get one sometime, but unfortunately my current living space makes any kind of workbench impossible.

Bought some wood to make a stand for a terrarium. Bought 8 feet of thg 4" heat tape to use on the stand fo some shelves.

I found my old 120GB ipod classic so I bought a charging/sync cable for it.

Preorder it first, it doesn't count until you've paid for it
