Proper little intro:

Hi I am Natalie, known as Natalie the Nerd. I am mostly known for my led kits for the Game Boy line.

I like to learn and make PCBs. I am self taught and like to share what I learn with others freely online

Yes but for my purpose I have a 5V boost converter, and then VBUS to power the charger 😩

Don't u hate when you OVER troubleshoot, like I was messing around with FET values

Natalie @nataliethenerd.com · 4h

Fucked up a board by putting a 5V symbol instead of VBUS 🥹

In Asia, Korea, Japan, Thailand for example it's literally illegal. A doctor's letter can't cover it

THIS HELD ME BACK FOR SO LONG! But the medication really helped

🥹 why must Asia do this to us neuro divergents

Natalie @nataliethenerd.com · 1d

Has anyone on ADHD medication ever travelled to Asia (where most of the stimulant based ones are illegal)?

I am planning a trip, my psych is going to get me to wean off one, and go on a new one 😩

I don't mean to be so bad at replying but I always forget 😩 my emails especially, they can be a wasteland. Even more lately cause I keep getting the same questions asked 10 times a day with the Lego build

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

That's what I am trying to do with my blog and wiki! I've become a resentful old person, I don't trust social media for the longevity of my documentation

I had to turn off replies from people who don't follow me cause some lowlife fascists come on here to troll, like get a life

Natalie @nataliethenerd.com · 3d

Now I have the Israeli flag in my most recent emojis ew

Natalie @nataliethenerd.com · 3d

I came up in my own google news feed on my phone 😅

Natalie @nataliethenerd.com · 3d

I hate the narrative around lefties and bluesky. Maybe I don't want to see "IKILLWOKE1488 🇮🇱🇺🇸" in my notifications calling me trans because cis women aren't allowed to buy soldering irons unless our husbands let us apparently

Is the red stuff supposed to be solder mask?

Natalie @nataliethenerd.com · 3d

Tf, that's some of the worst stuff I've ever seen, and I've seen some bad stuff!
