I have a ok laptop but its not the greatest, i want to have something such as a creative outlet that i can do in a simple manner? Ive thought about many of things but im unsure if i should try them? Im stuck inside alot and im bored alot aswell. I just want something to do other than light gaming and watching youtube.
What would you advise and why so?
Soldering. You don’t need a huge amount of space. A desk and a box to keep stuff in. You can buy reference kits which allows you to build your own devices like headphones amplifiers. The reference kit should come with instructions and the PBC board will show which components go where. Kind of like painting with numbers.
Once your confident with it then it’s also useful. Replace bad caps on monitors, motherboards, anything really.
For the love of all that’s holy, get a proper ventilation though. A lot of people who soldered with leaded solder for years will tell you that it’s not necessary, and that alone should tell you everything.
Yes agree. I go for the lead-free solder. I know people say it’s not as good but I’ve not had problems with it.
Fuck yeah, soldering is incredibly empowering. Getting into it is crazy cheap compared to many other hobbies.
