Blog Info & Updates<\/h2>\n

Reminder That This is a Living Blog and Blog Posts Are Subject to Edits and Changes!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Updated: Jan-01-2021
\nI have shut down the AK Parts Shack it is no more!
\nWork has begun on Rhine-Labs.com I will soon be accepting mail-in electronics repair and chip programing.<\/p>\n

I have seen some of my images floating around on other sights and 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<\/p>\n

#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\u00a0 On an A to F Scale. “A”<\/strong> Being Full Support to “F”<\/strong> Being Fail! If the company gets an “F”<\/strong> I will list the reasons why. Undetermined<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n
