If people haven't listened to the episode of the podcast Acquired about the history of Ikea[1], I strongly recommend it. Fair warning, it's 3.5h long, but the story is fantastic and the hosts do a great job making it engaging. [1]

Huh, that's pretty cool! How much of that behavior did you need to roll yourself vs what was already there?

Certainly load bearing, great call.

Yeah, I think this is the right idea (or the most optimistic path towards M-series power/performance). If you wanted something fully/aggressively open you could do something like build a mainboard compatible with one of MNT's

You won't be able to upgrade it, but it is at least moderately repairable.

A book certainly worth reading for anyone who hasn't. It's interesting to see how little common (modern) project and management pitfalls and tricks have changed in 50 years!

Did you get a chance to try the original Pixel Fold? Definitely not small like an iPhone 13 mini, but smaller than contemporary devices by a good bit!

I've enjoyed using a Moto razr+ 2024. If you're interested in trying one check out used devices, their value seems to crater. I think I got mine for ~$300 last year on eBay (while it was still the current gen device)

Same. It's very handy to be able to ask for one-off tools for things that I _could_ try to figure out, but probably wouldn't be worth the time. My favorite example so far was a Python script to help debug communication between a m

Interesting, I'm fairly new to using these tools and am starting with Claude Code but at the $20 level. Do you have any advice for when I would benefit from stepping up to $100? I'm not sure what gets better (besides higher usage

Love Memfault, very happy customer. Hopefully this is a great exit for everyone and a great future for the products.

That's definitely true! But if both are in one app you don't need to remember who uses Signal and who doesn't; it just works. Now with two apps, you have to run that mental check before sending a message and choose the right

Interestingly, the Waymo vehicles do actually have a screen on top, though I'm not sure what they're planning to use it for. Here's a photo [1]. [1] https://www.wallpaper.com/transport/waymo-division-auto

To chime in on the pity party; ordered a Ford Mustang Mach E at the start of April 2021. Original estimate was 3 months to delivery. Currently the delivery estimate is 10 months, but no one seems to be able to tell if that's real or no

Not sure about industrial, but they have grid scale battery storage with their Megapack product. Hornsdale in Australia has been operating for a few years. https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/tesla-fulfill

If people are unsure if this is real, various versions have been built and exist already [1]. [1] https://twitter.com/ViolenceWorks/status/1321669741790945281

It's not exactly the same thing, but there's an app that does AR overlays of PCBAs [1] to help with debug. I haven't used it, but it's a pretty neat idea. [1] https://www.inspectar.com/

It's possible, but my impression is that no MMU makes it difficult. Here is an example [1] of Linux on a Cortex M4 (a very boring STM32F4XX) [1] https://elinux.org/STM32

With 512KB RAM and 16MB flash[1] I assume it's a microcontroller and doesn't run Linux. [1] https://wyze.com/wyze-watch.html#pageDetails

I finally bit the bullet and replaced the battery in mine. It wasn't my favorite process, but it seems to have turned out fine. Used a hand rolled bead of Sugru [1] to re-seal it. Not sure I'll ever be able to try again, but at le

Not sure what they were referring to, but there are airlines like JSX [1] which are sort of a "semi-private" experience. My experience is limited, but flying JSX was a breath of fresh air. Security was a questionnaire and a short

Do you have an example? I'm having trouble understanding how zip would be used in practice.

Woah, I had no idea there was a Lineage build for the Titan! Is it available through the Lineage site?

Do the new models still make it easy to reflash? I thought I saw something about them being somehow locked down.
