@sidereal@fluffy@bonkers@Natanox can second this as being similar to my own experience, if a young person is excited about something technical and left to pull at those threads they're unstoppable hah
@Shrigglepuss@fluffy@bonkers@Natanox Yeah while reading this I got all excited, like, it makes me really sad that people relegate children to tablets and stuff these days. I learned so much hacking away at old desktop computers when I was a kid. Hardware and software. Part of why it makes me sad that electronics are less repairable now. I got so much free "outdated" shit from adults that I then repaired myself and did all kinds of cool projects with.
