@SDWolf not almost, seeing as though TI also made the speak n spell and they use the same LPC speech encoding chip

i beg everybody who's rotating text in photoshop to change the antialiasing from sharp to smooth so that the letters' baseline isn't completely off-kilter like a ransom note

@mmu_man i am not in a mastodon instance that supports edits but thank you

@SeasonsChange there are trace repairing kits but yes in my case for this particular board i just ran all broken traces back with patch wires (you can see one in the top right corner of the second picture). thankfully there weren't that many

@mmu_man oh yes sorry i just looked at the "Forum Conduct"

Do not post advertisements for products or commercial services without permission from the moderators.

yes i cannot post there. thank you for the shoutout though

@mmu_man i have ptsd with moderated spaces like that because i never know anyone in the in. if you know someone personally willing to introduce me i might consider it

@mmu_man i don't immediately see a subforum for advertising and usually offering paid services in forums you don't know anyone in to vouch for you gets you banned 🙂
