A long time ago I used "23 Labs" as a funny name relative to my username. Fast forward many years and I considered actually using it. Apparently "[Number] Labs" is a very popular idea now... Oh well

This is exactly the type of thing I was thinking of. Thanks

iroh seems like a very well positioned product in the era of people rapidly building applications for personal use. I'm really interested in seeing how they continue to grow. I personally have been looking off and on at providing an &q

I would recommend that changing to GPL just to gain better ad blocking, which is far from being a primary feature, is probably not the greatest idea if you care about licensing.

I wasn't taught directly (and don't know what I'm doing still), but I've had a lot of fun learning about retro hardware design as a software engineer. I've made a few of my own reverse engineered designs, trying to

Unsong is extremely amusing to me for some reason. Something about how Scott comes up with reasonably sounding similarities and manages to make those relate to an overall story.

That ends up not actually being that fast. The real goal was to be able to wake the Pocket/Tamagotchi core and have it automatically fast forward time as if the device was running that whole time. But when the FPGA fabric (and my desig

As someone with no hardware experience, I find working with HDLs to be a very different environment and potentially hard to reason with. I did my best to document things from a software perspective (particularly for the Analogue Pocket) ( h

I wrote my first project in VHDL ( https://github.com/agg23/openfpga-pong ) due to the type safety, then learned that the US (and Analogue team) primarily use Verilog, so I switched. I don't use many System Verilog

This is something you can accomplish very easily in a ESP32 form factor, streaming audio over wifi/bluetooth. However, it doesn't fully deliver the same experience; the goal was for it to replace your phone, so it needs to support

It would, but the vulnerability was found and patched in mainline Android a few months after the device came out, but with over half a year until support was dropped. We obviously can't expect them to have kept the OS up to date, espec

I definitely agree. Humane cared about physical device security a lot and it really shows with how they built out the firmware.

Very nice. I'm always happy to see new FPGA implementations of retro computing hardware. I've wanted to try Chisel, but have never gotten around to it.

I have spent hundreds of hours developing multiple apps for AVP, but I personally can't use it at all. My vision is uncorrected for general daily use (I wear glasses at the computer for slightly improved comfort, but I can see fine), b

I believe I looked up common machines with good prices, then searched for those individually, which obviously isn't going to work very well for this tool.
19.
by agg23 2y ago
This is really nice, and I just did this analysis myself. It seems like the tool is missing some of the better deals, like Optiplex 3070 with 9th gen i5s for ~$100, entire working system included (this is what I ended up buying).

I did this with silver (see my other comment) and it was a great experience. I was very sad to hear Shapeways is shutting down.

by agg23 2y ago
I custom designed a ring for my then girlfriend and sent it to Shapeways to have a mold 3D printed, then cast in silver. It turned out quite well (other than us having sizing issues). You can see my progress pictures here: https:/&#x2

I have the same problem with everything being slightly blurry, including Mac mirroring, rendering it unusable. It's very annoying given I have very good vision normally, but have so much trouble seeing in Vision. I discovered recently

I'm very curious if they've seen reactions like this. In my mind Rewind is more egregious privacy wise, though it does have the advantage of being very unknown and default off, compared to built into Windows.

by agg23 3y ago
I imagine the motivation is privacy above anything else.

I'm interested. What is the subscription for? Are you running it through your own server?

by agg23 3y ago
It really all depends on what you want. It may sound like shilling, but the Analogue Pocket is actually an excellent development platform because it's everything all in one; you don't need to figure out how to take input, load dat

In theory yes, but in practice there's many sources of latency introduced by a modern system with OS, and even an emulator running on bare metal has additional latency. Framebuffers and input are the main sources, and there's no r

This is retrocomputing specific, but this Discord server ( https://discord.gg/3wv3gMhp ) has quite a few of the big devs in the FPGA gaming space, and they're more than willing to answer questions. They're what real

LiteX is very neat, but at the same time is a massive pain as soon as you move past building an example SoC. I've been spending a lot of time on this recently.

On the note of my sibling comment, a common book in this space for learning is "Designing Video Game Hardware in Verilog", which is specifically retrocomputing related.
