About Laserbeam31

I am an electrical engineer in the UK with a lifelong passion for anything with wires, gears, or screens. My interests are broad, ranging from IT, science, electronics, and high-power electrical apparatus to trains, piano, gardening, and woodworking.

I am particularly keen on repairing discarded appliances, including computer equipment, which I regularly find in disposal sites, and providing them with a new lease of life wherever possible. I am a strong believer in the right to repair, and greatly dislike planned obsolescence.

I also have a second website: The Fluorescent Tube Appreciation Society (FluTAS)
