Welcome to the Tech Tangents Wiki! This is a private wiki where I document my collection to not only keep track of what I have and what I've done with it, but also to provide some information about items that is hopefully helpful to others beyond myself. You might also be interested in [https://caps.wiki/wiki/Main_Page Caps.Wiki], the public wiki I run about device repair with a focus on educating about capacitors. If you know me at all it's most likely from my videos on Youtube, I also stream working live on Twitch and Youtube. I am able to do this as my full time job thanks to the incredible help of my [[Support|Supporters]].

Welcome to the Tech Tangents Wiki! This is a private wiki where I document my collection to not only keep track of what I have and what I've done with it, but also to provide some information about items that is hopefully helpful to others beyond myself. You might also be interested in Caps.Wiki, the public wiki I run about device repair with a focus on educating about capacitors. If you know me at all it's most likely from my videos on Youtube, I also stream working live on Twitch and Youtube. I am able to do this as my full time job thanks to the incredible help of my Supporters.
