Instant Arcade<p>Ordered some low effort PCBs from JLC last night.<br>First time using EasyEDA to do the design, and first time dreading whatever rando-tariff might get applied.</p><p>I did notice this time the shipping was $13.71 and last time it was only $1.50 - so perhaps that is to cover the import costs.<br>Either way the goods price was low so unless they are adding tariffs to shipping, even paying 3x the cost won't be a dealbreaker. Wish me luck!</p><p><a href="https://leds.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://leds.social/tags/PCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCB</span></a></p>

Instead of hacking into buggy bots to change them, he acts as a sort of guardian, identifying and patching their vulnerabilities so they can secretly carry on as they are.
