    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 per…

    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 rev…

    Beware that pressing the back arrow twice takes you to unexpected naked photos.

    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 …

    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 sof…

    Comment #45813668

    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 switche…

    Show HN: Tamagotchi P1 for FPGAs

    After being thrust headfirst into FPGA development thanks to the Analogue Pocket, my first from scratch creation was a gate level implementation of the original Tamagotchi toy. The…

    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 fo…

    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 …

    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 compute…

    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.

    Comment #41390629

    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 …

    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.

    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 issue…

    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 s…

    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, com…

    I imagine the motivation is privacy above anything else.

    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 do…
