    “It will warm up the house…, it is an improvement, of a laptop and a heater” great words from Sorin 😂. Sorin must be a really great guy to work with, his quick wit and one liner jokes 😂 would make someone’s day

    He would never become what he is now, if he had thermal camera since beginning. Dont use thermal if you want to learn electronics and troubleshooting, otherwise if there is no heat, you will not be able to fix anything.
