Is it that good? I quite liked The Plague Dogs. He writes with a nice flowery style.

Now it feels like an afterthought compared to all of the redundancies they had put in place back then.
What can ya do? :/
I'm happy to be proven wrong about any of that though. It's been quite a few years since I read it.
I completely agree with your "Children of Ted" hypothesis, for that matter. Historically, oppression births revolutionaries, for better or worse.
It just seems you two have different experiences from possibly different countries is all.
Only with cash.
As Randy Fromm says, "the things that work the hardest fail the most"
Examples: MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitors) over time will often fail short.
Older devices with electrolytic capacitors (the large can-shaped things often situated by where the power input is) have a liquid electrolyte in them that evaporates (boils off?) over time. When it does, they lose their capacitance and the power supply stops being able to supply (good) power.
The point being, when something stops working, check these things first. It's like if your lawnmower dies on you, don't go pulling off the head to look at the piston. Check if there's gas in the tank first.
Finally, a DMM is a digital multimeter. This is your basic tool to measure voltage, current resistance, capacitance, et c.) You can't do much troubleshooting without one.
Hope this helps.
