In playing with the exact same use case, I was blown away at how good Gemini (flash 2.5 IIRC) transcoded podcasts with speaker identification and handled common "overlaps" in conversations. I can't remember what local Ollama

Was hoping to kick the tires but seem to be spinning my wheels trying to get Ghidra to see the plugin. Is GH Discussions your preferred means of communications?

Do you have a link to the files on github? I assume https://github.com/Ttl/vna2 is the older version?

Why not just buy an ERV? It's available, comparable in costs, and in 5-10 years, there will still be parts, unlike this project where the author hasn't actually shared the most crucial component, the exchanger.

Canada checking in. Data caps have only recently increased. Note, I did not say things got cheaper. My understanding is the Canadian government asked for a lower $ per GB. This means by throwing data at customers that isn't needed, the

Left out is a bit of the saga of ratgdo and that it's not actually open source hardware. There is a separate effort in that space - https://github.com/Kaldek/rat-ratgdo I have no issues with closed hardware and ma

I initially set out to do a complete design as you described, but homemade housing/buttons will look... homemade. :)

Correct, the desk will not move without the key inserted, even with megadesk.

Part of the costs is that I do assemble these by hand! My right arm is the pick and place machine. I try to do batches of 25 at once, as any more and I want to smash something. I have an SMT stencil for all the SMT parts, and then put the

We can call it the "BEKANT Tatoo" when you stab yourself with a spudger trying to open that damned case.

Yeah there was an issue a while ago with the ATTiny library and they switched the pin definitions. Was indeed a frustrating time to figure that out initially when the library switched it and all of a sudden everything stopped working!

I had a feature request to support IDASEN and came to the same conclusion. However, for myself (and I suspect others), I don't need yet another app to do something. I want to push a button and be finished in 1 second for something like

There's an open feature request to allow this type of functionality. Someone else wanted it to randomly move during working hours (a few times a day) to force them to alternate their position.

This is why I made it open source. For those who have the time or drive, or enjoy it, they can get everything they need to do so themselves!

Yes, please feel free to build it yourself ;) Initially I offered kits as well - buy the PCB and all the parts to build it yourself. I think I've sold about 6 kits total in more than a year since the last time it frontpage'd HN. I

While I agree Wi-Fi would enable other methods of control, the megadesk is designed to do exactly what you suggested.. store and load pre-defined positions by different types of presses :)

Just got 2 orders and was wondering if there was a mistake, and then someone opened an issue referencing HN, and here we are! :) I've had my Bekant for a while now, I find it very sturdy, and I have a 27" monitor on an Ergotron LX

Someone mentioned it on my repo a few months back. I think the space constraints would make it very challenging to make a drop-in replacement that fits in the original housing. Of course, with a new housing, the sky is the limit :) But that
