You can use a scribe, flat head, or a dremel. Just do enough to see the copper layer. Then add a solder ball to it. After that you can solder your wire to it.

You can scrape / scratch the board and make a new pad near the old one.
- Comment on Why bother with jellyfin, arr stack and everything else if free streaming services exist? 4 weeks ago:
Here is a few off the top of my mind:
Streaming services take away content all the time, license expired and goes to another service.
Streaming services do not have everything, they are actually quite limited on content.
Streaming services often remove episodes from seasons, so you don’t even get all the episodes.
Pirate streaming sites go down all the time as governments crack down.
Streaming services cost more and more and more, with less and less content.
Some media is only available on older mediums such as VHS (and never came out on dvd, streaming, etc) but pirates have archived these rare movies.
You might feel like the world is available to you online, but I have been around since the start of the internet and have seen many, many things go the way of the dodo 🦤. Things go away. Websites gone, files gone, laws change, etc. if you’re not archiving it, you may never see it again.
- Comment on What are some unique Games to host server's of? 6 months ago:
I ran a 7 days to die server for a few years, fun to do missions with a lot of friends, and build bases and stuff.
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale Featured Deep Discounts - any recommendations? 1 year ago:
These are the ones I was interested in.
I went for a few bundles because I already owned thief sim and one of the metro games, so the bundles were an even better deal.
I checked the steam dab website and a lot of these were all time low.

I did do custom firmware for the internal drive for 4k ripping, but didn’t find the right firmware for the external ones (years ago). Maybe I can find it again once we unpack our storage. We are moving to another state now. Thanks for the info!

That’s awesome you have a server for ripping. I made a dedicated machine using my old desktop.
Ryzen 1700, 16gb ram, 12 dvd / Blu-ray drives (one drive does 4k Blu-ray’s) and 2 more usb Blu-ray drives on top.

I’m in the middle of moving so everything is packed up. But this was the rack before we moved.
Networking, 3D printer, color laser printer, several servers.
