Re:Ask HN: How do I learn practical electronic repair?
on Tuesday June 03, 2025 @01:46AM (#44166758)
Just yesterday I fixed a broken wireless N64 controller receiver with the help of ChatGPT. I tried looking for YouTube videos, but didn’t find the exact thing I needed, and since I’m such a newbie I needed a lot of hand holding.
Anyways, I took pictures of the components and described what I was seeing. It walked me through things really well and asked me to do tests and report back. It even told me how to use my specific multimeter after I took a picture of it. I ended up soldering a jumper cable from the console power supply line (not working) to the micro usb power line (working).
It actually works now and really saved me 30 bucks buying a new controller.

I'm sorry to hear this, but curious what makes you certain of this? Revenge for what? I ask, because I hear this same template over and over with this administration. eg. DOGE isn't about government efficiency its about revenge.

Re:Houston Is Going Broke Because of Its Sprawl
on Wednesday April 03, 2024 @01:29AM (#39913901)
In my regular smallish suburban city I have a sidewalk stamped from 1922. However, they just redid all the roads, sewer, and certain side walks (bad sections). They are now running municipal fiber tubes throughout the whole sprawling city. As far as I can tell the city is still operated as a self-financing entity and has been since the 1800’s. Is this a facade or just an anomaly?
Re:Living Wage Calculator
on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @04:08PM (#37067702)
I put in my information and I find it really interesting that 2 parents who both work need a combined ~$63 an hour living wage, but a couple where only a single parent working needs only ~$47 an hour.
My wife is a stay at home mom and her monetary contribution comes from saving us money (not paying for childcare, not paying for restaurants, etc, etc, etc). Makes me think that in a lot of ways saving money is really tax efficient compared to slogging for more ordinary income.

It’s nice to be able to ask ChatGPT a half baked, poorly researched, poorly worded question with bad grammar yet get a totally good faith response back that’s a springboard for follow up questions. Whereas if you did the same thing on any stack exchange site you get downvotes and comments like “please read the guidelines and edit your question.”
