If you missed our #soldersesh last week with @Jorvon_Moss - we've got some highlights up, the full stream is up of course, and the audio is now available in podcast form.
Here's a link to the first highlight where we get Jayy's superhero origin story of how he got into STEM:

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find an LVDS deserializer that can output an image of what was intended for the LCD display?
Basically I want to intercept the signal and get an image file instead of a displayed image.

On tomorrow's #soldersesh we'll be doing some ACTUAL SOLDERING CONTENT and evaluating some flux and solder wick we just got in! We're always looking for favorites, and will be testing them out while soldering up a Foxy Pride badge, with the microscope camera set up. Join us, people new to SMT soldering welcome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxlfuctHkEU

I have made a third Patreon post! And this time I’m making it public so that folks can see the kind of things I plan to share with subscribers. In which I quote Mitch Hedberg, and learn new things about my product whilst making that product: https://www.patreon.com/posts/77208030

Every day is a victory. Every day I have you in my life is a gift beyond value.
Remember your worth.
One of those weird days where I'm working on a video edit in premiere and bouncing into KiCAD to answer questions about another project while still being unable to decide what I want for dinner.

⚠️ Sensor Watch Time Experiment Update ⚠️
Did you, about a month ago, synchronize your Sensor Watch with time.is? I should have posted this last week, but if you did and you haven't reset the time since then, please chime in in the replies with how far the clock has drifted! I get the sense that we have a result that's going to improve accuracy, but I'd love more data points to be certain. /cc @jonbro @alpenglow

The Oddly Specific store is back online! I'm still at a point where I need to turn it off when I travel, but I'll be on my way home soon so if you've been wanting an LCD FeatherWing or an Open Book e-paper driver, you can get it here now. Orders placed today ship by Monday! https://shop.oddlyspecificobjects.com
New PCBs are in from PCBWay; so is my @digikey order!

We're starting off the Solder Sesh this year with some serious awesome fun - @Jorvon_Moss is joining us this Thurs at 4pm Pacific and showing off a new bot! It's designed to be an easy starter bot, for workshops with Digi-Key, and you can really give it a unique personality. Join us!

New boss: Do you know anything about cybersecurity?
Me: Well I have been running Hardware Hacking Villages at information security conferences for over a decade and I know a bunch of hackers; I may be able to help.
Nothing like getting woken up early by the sounds of your cat puking next to you on the bed.

While I'm here might as well fix this one before it breaks too!
If one broke it's a good idea to inspect the others and look for weaknesses like this:
