eh?
I didn't say goodbye to them, they are all still there living in the tub I photographed them in...they are waaay down the list of projects...Time young Timmy...time. There is only so much time to complete projects so obviously they get prioritized into need, want, likely results. The roombas are not a priority as I have 2 working ones and the resale value of them isn't good (due covid...no one wants another persons dead skin cells, pet fur, feces particles). -

2021-07-27 at 9:28 PM UTCAnother Roomba robot companion scored at VV again today for $20. In great condition, looking at the underside and the wheels it's seen little action.
That's about 10 I have now...a veritable robotic army to do my bidding.

2021-07-27 at 10:12 PM UTCSo...let me get this straight...you bought more busted crap that you already had too much busted crap of?

As usual you are wrong.
This fully operational battle station has less than 5hrs use, wifi so It can be operated from anywhere in the world( including work and Aldi) and has now replaced my previous aging living room one...$20.
Stay dumb and poor gramps.

This was max 1hrs work…I'm ok with $800+ a week for 1hrs work on my side hussle.
But still over course of week. I do it every day pretty much.
Also I'm guessing pottering round charity shops looking for bargains doesn't make knickers drop down like magic.

2021-08-02 at 5:41 PM UTCUpdate on that non functional Panasonic FS-A1mkII MSX2 computer I got...
Easy fix, bad caps (as usual). The computer was working (as per the photo below) with just bad video display...upon inspection there are 3 SMD caps, one had leaked and dropped off the board, the other 2 show bad leakage.
Replacement caps ordered from mouser.com this morning.
The "bad" display
The cap that had fallen off the board
One of the other bad caps showing leakage and fouling at the bottom
The daughterboard that has the 3 bad caps that needs replacing which should fix the video issue.

2021-08-02 at 5:42 PM UTCI remember having to use the women's showers in high school at a public (co-ed) school and, coming from a Catholic all-boys school being very excited finding a pubic hair stuck in the soap.
But, I was 16 then. -

i left it for so long that the caps beside the processor leaked and popped. -
