    Hello All!

    My name is Chuppie and I am what I am because my mother bought me a ‘child' screw driver set for my 5th birthday. I used to take everything apart (including the TV remote.in the 80's, GASP) then and not be able to put it back together. But now I do so much more. Like most engineers I work with, I have an art degree, while those with computer science degrees are in sales..go figure lol.

    I create. It's what I do. From cartooning, animating using Toon Boom Harmony, editing video, to building physical electronics that are useful or fun for me. I am a Mac user because of the expensive graphics and animation software I own, but I'd probably still be an Apple hater if I didn't work tirelessly to Hackintosh my old HP Pavilion laptop to stick it to Apple making my HP more capable powerful than current line of MacBook Pro's in 2008. Now I just like the OS, but I know my windows well and its crazy to me not to know both, My Steam Deck mods taught me a ton about KDE Linux beyond terminal CLI, which is the same as macOS unix-like CLI environment and I value the strength and variety that each OS can do, especially when it comes to unbricking a storage device using an OS that doesn't give one pellet of rabbit crap about the filesystem and its permissions from the other OS.

    My favorite thing to do is make something that isn't ‘compatible' per the manufacturer do things it wasn't designed to do or prove some OEMs are a full sack cowpies by cutting compatibility of features just before public launch. I love learning and I think no one should ever stop learning. I have failed miserably in many of my adventurous projects, even wasting money, but I did learn from each of those failures and those failures and lessons learned costed much less than my BA degree.

        Hi
        My name is Neil and I have been in electronics for around 55 years. My formal qualifications focussed on microprocessors , coding and systems architecture. But since the age of 10 I've been repairing stuff for friends and family. So when the opportunity came to retire early and indulge my hobby , I started a small business repairing audio Equipment as well as computers.
        To be honest I find computers quite tiresome as there is so much unnecessary change that it's tough to keep up
        Give me a nice old 80's Sony or marantz receiver with no deadline and I'm as happy as it gets.
        Trawling the web for common faults has become a evening pass time while the missus watches box sets on TV.
        And so I'm hoping to both learn and contribute to badcaps as I wade through decades of inherited amps / sticky sh!ty belted cassettes and the occasional record deck.
        Based in Berkshire UK I also do repairs for a well known hifi retailer.

              Hi, my name is Andy.
              I don't consider myself a great expert, but my skills are enough to handle most problems with the help of Google and the people who share their knowledge on such wonderful forums.
              I found this place when I was looking for the BIOS for my "tired" laptop.
              Thanks for your attention, friends. =)
