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 enou…

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

> switchboard operators What? 1920 called and wants its electromechanical relays back

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 …

Interestingly, it’s also possible to encode _emoji_ inside emoji!

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 l…

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_ speci…

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,…

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 basi…

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 enjoye…

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…

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 fo…

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…

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 …

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 …

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…

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.

Whoa, cool! TIL. thanks for sharing.

I don’t understand why they needed to use a missile to shoot the balloon down. Seems like overkill.
