June 2026, Hosting service Renewed for an additional 3 years.
November 2023, the site experienced a crash, prompting the need for a new layout as my theme was incompatible with the current update. I’ll be ironing out the bugs as I find than and find the the time to correct them (I am not a coder so I have to learn as I go). The Site should also now be mobile/tablet friendly.

I have shut down the AK Parts Shack it is no more!
Work has begun on Rhine-Labs.com I will soon be accepting mail-in electronics repair and chip programing.
I have seen some of my images floating around on other sights and in some tutorials. I am not a copyright snob, I do not mind if people are using my images. But, If you wish to use my Images all I ask is if you use them you link the source page www.stevenrhine.com. Thank You
#RighttoRepair or #Right2Repair, If I am Dealing with a Company When Repairing a Device, I will assess the company for repeatability and give a Right to Repair Score On an A to F Scale. “A” Being Full Support to “F” Being Fail! If the company gets an “F” I will list the reasons why. Undetermined means I have either not contacted or checked. I will be reporting the right to repair and anti-repair news as I come across it.

There should be No Annoying Ad’s On This Blog For 2026-2029! I may still add a Supporting Vendor Sticky Post But That is About It or post a link to the manufacture in a review. I have been focusing more on my youtube channel than the blog https://www.youtube.com/@Rhine_Labs but both receive attention and work together.
Attention Supporting Vendors Please Contact Me On Facebook. Link to the right in the links section or Just Click Here!
