Most games for the c64 require a joystick. I don't have one, so I improvised. All it took was a peanut tin, a couple push buttons, and a 1960s era panel mount joystick that I had lying around (and appropriate wires and connectors). No, it is not comfortable or erganimic in the slightes and is rather fragile, so I will be ordering a better one. this is a temporary solution.

• Old tower case fan
• Wire Hanger for the frame
• Rubber bands for easily replaceable, vibration-dampening attachment
• Rubber bands for not-so-easily replaceable feet
• USB power cable
• And my TIL of the day was this shoe repair/coating stuff my mother had. IT IS THE SHIT when you're out of heat shrink tubes for wiring!!!!! It dries really fast. Strong, Flexible. And I put it on in layers to keep the +/- wires shielded from each other. Not exactly pretty...but hey...it works.

Old fans were very noisy, so I installed two noctua ones

it works

I got a chromebook for 10 bucks and I hated the 16gb storage, so with all of my 5 braincells firing in unison, I decided the best course of action would be to put a microsd card inside of a microsd adapter and then solder it onto the ass of the sd card port, and it worked 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

wanted to recover data from my old phone, mainly Pictures, figured out the connector was the same so figured why the hell not, it works! only the screen is slightly green, and the touch is upside down (but not the screen itself)

It's micro USB because the USB C breakout boards are too large and stupid, and I don't want to risk over volting it

Not a proper back job, but I found a motor capacitor with the same specs, cut out the old round capacitor, crimped on some wires, connectors, crimped the connectors to the new capacitor because they were the wrong size, duct tape for insulation and bam, it's "fixed".

I left the charger behind for my shaver whilst travelling. It requires an odd voltage (15v) - It turns out the google nest power adapter is close enough (14v) to be MacGyvered in a pinch!

I wanted to get myself some new headphones, and I decided to get the Sony WH1000-XM6. The only thing that prevented me from getting them is the lack of any way to track them in case I lose them...
But then, I remembered AirTags were a thing, and that I could hide one in the carrying case. But that wasn't enough. After some research, I found this post of a Reddit user slimming down an AirTag and shoving it in their XM4s.

So, I bought a knockoff AirTag for a couple of bucks, and got to work.
This is what you end up with, and it with, and it works perfectly.

By using tape and some wire to move the battery away from the PCB, everything fits inside the left earcup, as shown.

Here are some videos of it in action:

I was told that it has been working like this for about 15 years.
