Should we create a lending library of stuff we actually don't want people to return?

by Romy Ilano

We have a lot of stuff? Should we create a lending library of stuff we don't actually care if people return or not? This would have less maintenance costs and effort than if we had a lending library of stuff we really want back (and we'd have to manage late fees etc) *a members-only "lending library" would help marketing our* - This could serve as a* big marketing plug for SudoRoom -* Hey be a member! You get access to our (wink wink) lending library where you can borrow stuff on the honor … [View More]

by Romy Ilano

Do you have any stories of project syou've worked on and how SudoRoom helped you out? - brainstorming a guide for total newcomers. It should have a flow chart and make it really obvious how to plan your projects, how to ask for help https://sudoroom.org/blog/ We are not "marketing" ourselves well enough for a big advantage that we have - we are nerds who offer an affordable hackerspace with ties to the community.

Intro & project

by Tara Odorizzi

Hello! I recently discovered Sudo Room while searching for some support on a project I'm working on, and just became a member. I'm excited this community exists! I'm creating an immersive art project for an event in New York in a couple of weeks. The premise is that participants are traveling between dimensions via an interdimensional travel agency but their mirror selves hijack the service. I am hoping to create a few things, including a voice modulator that I can mount inside a mask and a … [View More]

Tonight: help fix the Toshiba TV

by Peter Mui

Hi sudoers: There’s a Toshiba 55l621U 55” 4K TV in sudoroom I’d like to put in service as the new jitsi and discord telepresence monitor. But it’s currently not working: it flashes on briefly and then goes out. Normally this would indicate a power supply issue, but I’ve done a little online research and some people online claim the problem might be a firmware issue, e.g. see https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/toshiba-55l621u-wont-turn-on-properly.… Can you do some more online … [View More]
