Claire quote of the day:

"I'm like a horse girl but for electronics"

Prompted by troubleshooting yet another friends ancient BT device.

I think my non-technical background does give me an edge here, as it often does. My first instinct is never multimeter. A lot of my (hubris-filled electronics-'splaining guy) friends get tripped up going there first with any electronics.

I have just always had (and gotten a lot more confident in) my powerful troubleshooting electronics ✨whispering✨ 🤫🤌

@LaserMistress what is your first troubleshooting step? mine is now visual and olfactory inspection. well, after the good ole turn it off and on again.

@johne can't answer that that broadly. There's too many different scenarios. I can say I immediately go to searching/researching it and seeing if I can find anything actually applicable. I've noticed a lot of guys will resist that for some reason.

@LaserMistress oh, yeah. thats great advice.

@LaserMistress And that's generally the second thing I do when debugging software (after the readme).
