I really like epaper displays for all of the reasons mentioned in the article. Shame the patent locks continue to keep prices high even though the core technology has improved enough for prices to drop. A few years ago I came into a couple

Is it just me or are those chokes a little bit messy? They look…kinda sloppy vs what I would expect.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought this. The post is also missing one obvious thing that I expect in any technical post: code snippets. Let me see the code. ChatGPT has ruined bullet points for the rest of us… No offense but writing thi

Ah yes, one of my favorite skills learned in school was how to work around arbitrary rules made up by cranky sysadmins! I still use it all the time. The smart kids (whom I’m sure look like they are learning that precious openssh client) are

I really like the author’s writing style here. The quips about the tea especially.

I came here to say this. I haven’t worked with the Elite X but the past gen stuff I’ve used (865 mostly) the accelerators - compute DSP and much smaller NPU - required _very_ specific setup, compilation with a bespoke toolchain, and communi

I don’t know the size or structure of your team, but one thing that has worked for me in addition to other strategies mentioned on this thread (specifically, that oncall is oncall, nothing else) is that you appoint one engineer - typically

I have one! Any idea if the PZT cubes are added using the typical photoresist masking/etching or are they placed on die using some other process?

I spent quite a bit of time a few years ago recovering my old MySpace account only to realize they “messed up” (unclear whether it was incompetence, or purposeful) and deleted basically anything that had been, oh I dunno, actually interesti

I bought a car thing when Spotify was blowing them out, knowing full well they’d kill it. I planned on hacking on it and finding a cool alternate use for it. I have actually enjoyed using it at my desk as a dedicated “now playing” screen bu

Very cool! I’ve been to a few shows with these and was pretty enthralled with the level of effects that are possible given the Simplicity of the setup. I brought one wristband home hoping to mess with it but never got around to it.

Anyone know if and how Hertz is selling these? If the low resale really is as bad as advertised, it could be good for someone on the other side looking to get their hands on one for a good price.

I love SP and was pretty broken up about this when I found out. We use SP keycaps exclusively on our SCRAMBLE [1] and while we could certainly switch to a different vendor and save money, the quality and experience wouldn’t be the same. Fi

From one of the links [1] in this article: > Prusak explained that one Bitcoin is equal to about $35,000 in U.S. dollars, adding that he doesn't have a specific number on how many Bitcoins the site is able to produce in a day. >

I love fzf. The fuzzy reverse-search alone is worth a lot to me.

My thought exactly. This article might as well only exist so older folks can pop it open and feel smug and superior about something dumb.

This is awesome and timely! I’ve been wanting to set something like this up for the nullbits server for a while. When I picked discord instead of a forum, I wasn’t counting on the growth we saw. There’s a lot of friction for new folks who a

One cool and lesser-known fact is that you can enable adb on Raspberry Pi with adbd. It’s a fairly seamless way to get console/push/pull over USB. Only downside is that it requires the adb tool on the host as well, vs gadget seria

My thoughts exactly while reading this. In addition to his hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate, Zuck also lives in this guy’s head rent free.

VIA is an awesome resource for the community and really lowers the bar on entry (our users no longer need to or are expected to compile their own firmware just to tweak keys) as well as just being convenient and nice to have. My only gripe

RIP. I’m hoping it’s temporary but not optimistic. Could it be a coincidence that Twitter relaunched the algo timeline for everyone and within a day 3P clients that are linear-first stop working? Although with the all the people laid off, w

One tidbit I got out of this that is not directly related to the content of the post is that there are apparently some high-quality instructables out there, and that people spend time writing them! 99% of the instructables I’ve come across

Hah, this is hilarious. I just went through this 30 or so minutes ago. I explained to the CS person that I would in fact be saving money and carbon. “Nope”, he said, just go ahead and repurchase and return. Insanity. It’s tripping over doll

After seeing the post yesterday about the e-ink weather display, I thought about how to do it with a kindle, since they’re (a) cheap and available (b) basically self-contained versions of exactly what parts are needed and most importantly
