Hey, if someone figures out a general replacement for a flyback transformer, they can have all my money. But yeah, the Dallas chip stuff is more of a "I don't wanna take a dremel to my chip, I want a clean alternative" than actually being an unfixable problem.
A transformer's a transformer, though, even one potted to hell and back because of HV. It's more a matter of the wide variety of voltage needs needing a bunch of models (or an even spendier many-tap transformer) to do it rather than it being lost technology locked up in a filing cabinet somewhere.
I'm aware. I know transformer technology isn't "lost", but exact specs for a given model's flyback often are.
There's been drop-in replacements that take coin cells for a few years now. Little pricy for what they are, but they're a godsend. Biggest problem is a lot of Dallas chips aren't socketed. IBMs and some other name brands usually socket the RTC, but most OEM and cheap mobos from the era are soldered and a massive PITA to desolder. Better than dealing with Varta leaks and Maxell bombs, though.
My point was that most of those drop in replacements themselves use obsolete ICs that are now getting scarce. It's just kicking the can along.
At what point does he somehow reference Capitalism, Marx, or Communism. Goddamn I cant stand looking at this fat faggot.
Did this guy rename this channel a while back? I think this was "elhecktronic" or something like that? I thought it was another channel at first, but it's got his old PBX videos on it.
Nah bro, they need to be a feature length film about another set of mostly boring computers from a time when the dude was 5-10 years old, oh also in 4K as well so you can see all his pores on his fatass face.
Record says becoming a woman, wife sharing or both.
A combover, I reckon.
My bet is trooning out, a popular trend in the tech nerd scene.
That does make me wonder if he has posted some weird shit in the past, behind the scenes. Its like how CRD is a known scat furry on some alt account. I wonder if LGR has some freak shit like that.
What do you mean by career? Collecting old PC's and talking about new add-ons for Sims 4? He is dead inside, with nothing meaningful to achieve other than to dwell deeper into obscurity of old tech from the past interested by people like him.
He lost me when he hoarded an entire TRS-80 with visible DRAM probs without ever fixing it because his limpwrist ass can't do anything but wood veneer, jerk off to goth girls, Dook 3D, hoard object and lie, who the fuck would even pay him to do any of that
