almost never know what people are saying programming-wise so like please stop calling me smart i feel really bad when people think i'm smart

ahh there it is the first finger burning of the day

honestly if i could get wb3.1 with the furia and aga this would be my dream machine

it's those out-of-my-reach things that frustrate me about my amiga, aside from things plain not working

recap & clean board
fix keyboard traces properly and cover with enamel
recap psu
find new, proper screws for case
pipe dream: AGA
pipe dream: furia accelerator

got this playing in the background while i work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvSfqBJi0ss

well that's the Amiga side done, time to flip it around and do it all over again https://computerfairi.es/media/mZXcWRoIgcHnyIMAb9M

@troubleMoney @candle you have to specify display :0 i believe and passing that setting varies from program to program or it's some env variable i think

the pocketchips screen is a regular x display if that helps

me: safety first!

also me: *constantly gets stray hairs singed on her soldering iron*

i kinda wanna livestream myself making this cable but i look gross rn

me: don't over-draw your power supplies!!!

also me: *plugs a bright white led strip on a common 12V 1.25A brick psu because proper ones are too expensive*

@troubleMoney wouldn't fit through the connector shroud

i'd have enough vias if i tied the R G and B grounds together into one wire but i'm not sure if that's prudent

nvm ethernet cables don't have enough vias either

still i need to get better cables

i wonder if ethernet cables would make good video cables?

right now i'm using one that's shielded but .. i'm dumb so it doesn't have enough vias for a full SCART connector (that i'm actually putting through DE15 connectors since they mate better and don't get flaky) so the audio ground is going through the shielding ... which is a dumb idea and causes a lot of noise (but it works fine as long as i don't turn the volume up too much)

@troubleMoney yeah that's the thing, i bought a db25 knowing that db23s aren't manufactured anymore

it was the plan all along to hack it down

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net it's literally a hack since i used a hacksaw

@MightyPork@dev.glitch.social yeah i really don't like that one

someone tried to argue with me the other day i shouldn't cut a db25 into a db23 and i should just get an actual db23 and wouldn't listen to me when i said those aren't made anymore and i had to show him that, buddy, even the german amiga enthusiasts do it
