Survivors of the Kraken is a new group with a long history. Twenty years after a dramatic on-stage breakup, these lifelong friends released their debut album, "Amid Life Crises." Join Survivors of the Kraken as they perform songs from their debut record and, with Brad Rohrer (from the Funbearable Podcast!), discuss their musical journey in subModern's "Standard Definition."

"Standard Definition" is music and interview show filmed entirely on analog video equipment (but not necessarily edited analog) and presented in glorious 4:3 aspect ratio. The interviews and live musical performances are filmed at subModern audio, an analog recording studio in Providence, Rhode Island.

There are already instructions how to connect to GMC300-type geiger counter using USB, but I couldn't find any instructions on using the actual serial port that's directly on the board. In this video I'll show you how to do that.

This label printer can run on 6 AAA batteries (a ridiculous amount), or a 9VDC barrel jack. So I "upgraded" it with a usb-c port by simply wiring up a usb pd trigger board.

A (very) quick tutorial on soldering SMD components. I know there are plenty on YT already, but I like content that's short and to the point with minimal detours.

If you want to know which soldering iron and flux I am using, refer to video #29: https://youtu.be/ZSd81kabz6k

As you can expect, there is no “best thermal camera” out there, so here I compare functionality and features of these two, so you can decide which is best for you.

TL;DW: both cameras offer similar features, FLIR mobile app is easier to use (mostly), but TM has superior hardware. TM P2 Pro also has a lower price, so it provides a better value overall.

This is my take on the Bambulab's new Authorization firmware/system they're trying to push on to their users.

In case it wasn't clear, DO NOT BUY THEIR PRINTERS until and unless the company walks back this decision and publicly takes accountability for this screwup.

If you're curious, in this video I "upgraded" one of those cheap plasma lighters with a larger battery and replaced micro usb port with a USB-C.

I designed this hook/bracket to hang my headphones off the side of my desk. In this video, I’ll walk through the basics of iterative design and how to reduce bending in 3D-printed parts to make them stronger and more reliable. The key is to redistribute stress through a larger area, which can be achieved by adding ribs/beams.

This is for 31AM53KR596 and 31CM53TR596 Cub Cadet 24-inch 2-stage gas snowblowers. It might be similar on other models, but the parts might be different.

You will need to order a part that has one of these numbers:

I've searched for "clutch cable" replacement and "brake cable" but couldn't find anything, because I didn't bother reading the manual 😃

Out of the box this device only works with a usbA-usbC cable, because they're designed to provide 5V no matter what, however usbC-usbC cable that's up to spec and connected to a proper usbC power supply won't provide any voltage. To fix it, you have to add 5.1k pulldown resistors on CC1 and CC2 lines as per USB spec.

This is a quick review of the Hantek adjustable power supply features and serial connectivity.
