    Some phones do too, it depends on their power management integrated circuit (PMIC) and driver. Though it's always better to physically disconnect the battery when not in use, as th…

    Yeah, I'm dubious of the "3x wafers" claim, but I heard "3x wafer capacity", which sounds more logical. More steps per wafer (for TSVs) -> more time spent in the fan per wafer & ma…

    Hmm, I have a mouse and trackballs from ploopy, they run QMK, so why was a new project needed? What is the added value? To me, the missing feature in the QMK ecosystem is a devices…

    I almost wrote the same comment — the first part, anyways. In theory, it should be feasible to provide a "shim" to bridge the API gap between Linux and Windows internal APIs. The c…

    One very nice use case that I haven't seen anyone else talk about is touchscreens. I have assigned my touchscreen to be in a separate seat. This allows me to interact with apps wit…

    It's possible with wayland seats, if the compositor supports it. I've used sway this way. Assign M+K A to seat A and M+K B to seat B. I only wish I could change the focused window …

    How do they handle the signature requirement for the VBIOS? I could perform such a mod, but the requirement for a signed VBIOS puts me off. What if timings are wrong, such as with …

    Regional keyboards are a mess for coding. I'm much happier with a qmk-enabled keyboard where I remap keys in hardware. For instance, on a French keyboard: - easy: " ' , : * ! - _ =…

    Sure! I ordered the necessary part years ago, but didn't get around to do it yet. Having someone else interested may finally motivate me. Please leave some contact info on your HN …

    Interesting project! I am relatively skilled at FPS with a mouse, but would like to improve with my trackball (so that I don't have to change my setup when playing an FPS). This co…

    I don't have the time to provide such a detailed answer, but there are a few options. At least on Sway (and I imagine other wlroots-based compositors) it's very easy to do: create …

    I still use my Samsung n130, though I went with Alpine after Arch dropped support for 32 bit (there were a few pain points with Arch 32 in the early days, I tried guix but it was t…

    Or you can insert a cheap USB-C adapter that converts the game boy socket to USB-C: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008985278704.html

    Every Door is very good if you know what info you'd like to edit. It is my go-to app for editing POIs on the go. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Every_Door

    Not OP, but I can imagine piloting it with a temperature sensor: too warm=>increase speed. It could avoid some sweat-covered wake-ups, depending on the circumstances (trade it for …

    Funnily enough, I did almost exactly that last week, but I kind of gave up for now as my 433 MHz transceiver does not seem to work well with esphome? It does seem to output signals…

    1. Hide virtual keyboard if shown 2. Go to previous app view. This is app-dependent though it will probably, successively with each press: a. Close menus if open (context, sidebar,…

    Hmm, coing PCIe -> NIC -> NIC -> PCIe seems a bit silly, couldn't both devices communicate directly over PCIe?

    Ah, that's interesting, the requirements are similar in the CAD industry. Dassault Design Sync is used a fair bit for semiconductor design databases, for instance. An open alternat…

    I like Windward a lot, even though it does not feel like a complete game. It would benefit from a storyline IMO, and the dev has stopped updating it. I am longing for an open sourc…

    Thank you for the detailed answer. This is an interesting engineering problem. I wish I had more free time, a gearbox or a 4-way differential can probably be used on the extruder h…
