I would love as much of my tech to be as red and transparent as possible, next on the docket is the iPod Video.

Sometimes the repairs are really simple and the $10 as is price is an absolute bargain!

I'll be getting into the PS3 Homebrew scene soon so I'll need a working model, and it just so happens I have parts from 2 of the same revisions

How I tested my new car stereo that can play MiniDisc. Who needs Android Auto anyway?

While most people upgrade their car's stereo to android auto, I'm upgrading to MiniDisc.

CarPlay or Android Auto? Nah MiniDisc Car Stereo.
I don't want my car's console to have a tablet in it. I'd much rather have it play one of the best forms of physical media.
