    Looking for help with some micro soldering

    Anyone around here good with micro soldering? Need some help getting some very fine wires (30awg - 34awg) hooked up to some incredibly small vias in order to access an eMMC. Those vias must be under 0.3mm in diameter. I just can't get solid connections to some of them. Apart from the fact that...

    megsApp and MTN in Western Cape

    Thanks all. Much appreciated. I think I might go for that Afrihost deal. The Vodacom SIM was just R40 and haven't topped it up as yet so no loss there. I'll get a MTN sim and see how it goes.

    megsApp and MTN in Western Cape

    Got my son a Vodacom prepaid SIM to use in his tablet and maybe phone (eventually). Will be topping up airtime as I go along. I just found out about https://megsapp.com and thinking I might port him to that instead. Seems like decent pricing. They run on MTN and just want to know what coverage...

    Renting solar?

    There is never going to be a car upgrade again. I just want this thing I have paid up. :) We are going to look at starting with just a inverter setup to get through load shedding. Start with components that can have the rest added on. So a 8kW Deye and battery to start. Can only make plans end...

    Renting solar?

    lol ... I'm ok with that kinda comment. We are actually gonna be sorting out Portuguese passports on my wife's side this year. If not for the whole family, then at least for my kid should he need it. For loadshedding. Inverter setup seems best then. I will need to look around for options with...

    Renting solar?

    Just electronics, lights and fridge. Really just electronics, lights and fridge. The dryer story is my irritation. Don't know why they do that and it will be put to a stop soon. Well, sooner since the dryer doesn't work anymore. They overdid the temperature fuse.

    Have you tried out ChatGPT?

    Yes, we played with it yesterday. Asked it to write some programs and it did well. Then we asked it "how much energy do you use to do what you do" and it died.

    Circuit Boards - PLZZzzzzzzzz.......

    That's brilliant! I always kinda skipped over them thinking it'd be expensive for shipping (or lost in mail), but those boards look good. Will give them a try next time I feel like building something.

    Unable to make calls using LG G7ThinQ

    Anyway, for those who have an issue, it's a Google thing. Update Google LLC / Carrier Services off PlayStore. Got this helpful information from LG SA. Vodacom should have known this rather than just pushing it on.
