This reminds me of this book I read a few years back - https://www.thomasthwaites.com/the-toaster-project/ How much work actually goes into the cheapest toaster the chap works to m…

Bizarre coincidence but on way back through town today on lunch break saw several volumes of Tintin in a charity shop window and took it as fate after reading this article.

I am glad the book was found in the end, I had a similar case that took me years to track down. My great grandmother used to always send on christmas a Penguin Classic childrens bo…

its been a while since I read some of this book and enjoying it, and I remember it refering to 3bit computing in the soviet era but it might be right up your street https://mitpres…

I really like the idea, but as a left handed person I found it needed to have a keyboard shortcut accessible from the right hand (maybe this can be an option in the menu?)

I think this is spot on - how many times have people (and I include myself) stopped on a project that is even remotely public facing because it isn't perfect-grade work before you'…

Thank you for this, I am very much an amateur comic artist and prefer "analogue" methods so this list of items is exceptionally helpful for items I haven't seen before4 / didn't kn…

Really great site - I can 100% recommend this book on the subject, really interesting https://www.counter-print.co.uk/products/arcade-game-typogra...

Scratch is a great tool for teaching the entry level elements before you move onto a written code. I have been running after school classes for kids using Scratch (under the Raspbe…

I've been teaching an afterschool class for the last six or so years for kids using scratch, whilst yes its aimed at that level - it does allow you to understand concepts so easy, …

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I had totally forgotten about this when Charlie Brooker spoke about it as plotting out Bandersnatch. I am a Senior Learning Technologist a…

Agreed, it does exist - but that model you speak of is £849 for me - that is not an accessible price. An iPad pro that is the same size is only £100 more for me, but then thats not…

This is what frustrates me - I would love eInk panels, or a reader in a larger format than your standard kindle and kobo affair so I could read textbooks properly. An A4 or slightl…

I agree, mostly plant based here but rarely rely on the "fake meats". The closest is seitan, which I make myself anyway.

Designing a combat robot for the UK Antweight division, which is only 150g max weight. (or 175g for some groups). Despite this tight weight budget, I intend to build something rath…

I have just found the one you use - will do some research! I do a lot of Fusion 360 work and I always feel like a trackball would help.

This is an interesting project - my first thought would be to flip it, as I am left handed and would benefit from it being oriented that way.

That's a fantastic way of doing it - I'd imagine you'd put on some old clothes to do the diving anyway.

That is interesting, I didn't even know that was a feature that was capped on the RPi. I can see that being made into very compact 3D Scanners very quickly after launch if that was…
