Tillitis AB Our first product is the TKey - a new kind of USB security key - which we have been selling since May. TKey is very likely the most open source USB security key in the world, as well as the first one to feature unconditional measured boot, which we use as a method for key derivation. Tillitis AB is a sister company of Mullvad VPN AB and Glasklar Teknik AB.
How does this compare to an onlykey?
We're working on a modeling and simulation tool for engineers who design and test embedded systems and next-gen hardware. We help companies shorten their development cycle, reduce costs, and launch faster using model-based design. It is kind of unfortunate but hardware design tools haven't seen the same level of cambrian explosion that cloud and AI tools have over the past several years. We hope to change that so eng…

Took me awhile to remember what it was called, but TinyPilot [^0] by mtlynch is pretty cool. Michael sometimes writes about running a hardware business on his blog [^1]. Not exactly a startup, but a small business. [^0]: https://tinypilotkvm.com [^1]: https://mtlynch.io/posts
1080p makes it a total non-starter for me, that sort of resolution is over a decade out of date, even for small laptops. Not sure why people think it's an acceptable maximum.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is. Supports file transfers (sftp push and pull), XML (basically file with schema validation, different filters on each side of the protocol break), and TCP and UDP steaming. We’re proud of how fast it is, among other things.
Sounds interesting. Do you have any formal verification tools in your tech stack? p.s. are you hiring?
We're always interested in talking to potential candidates, but unless you're in Ottawa work would be truly remote (we all WFH, but we get together at least monthly for lunch, save for the folks in the Maritimes, the UK, etc.).

We make stingray resistant booties! Stingray stings are painful and can be dangerous, and the fear of getting stung can take the enjoyment out of the beach. We’ve mainly targeted surfers so far, but they could be useful for any beach-goer. Definitely been dealing with the fact that “hardware is hard”. We had a design we were fairly happy with about two years ago, but have been struggling to get it manufactured since…
Assuming that a wet-suit does not help with such bites, would it be feasible to make a full-body suit from the same material? I'm a layman (or worse) in this area, and I was wondering if somethings similar could be made for shark bites. After Googling, I found someone claiming that they have. How hard would would it be to "combine these two"? (Both of the above may be stupid questions)
Shaping something for the whole body would be difficult, because most puncture resistant materials aren’t very stretchy. You’d have to have the perfect shape for a specific person. It probably is possible, but likely to take a lot of work and be rather uncomfortable.
Doing some quick googling, I find sharkstop.co, which makes wetsuits to protect against shark attacks. They say the “placement of Shark Stop panels … have been strategically chosen to significantly reduce the amount of blood lost during a shark bite incident…” It sounds like they’re carefully choosing the location to make trade offs between protection and wearability, which I suspect is the right approach. We do the same thing with our booties, and only have stingray resistant material covering some percentage of the bootie.
We make an e-commerce subscription that uses a smart scale to trigger re-orders at the perfect time. The timing is dynamic for each customer’s usage patterns. The scale lasts 1.5yrs per battery charge. Our customers cancel subscriptions at a way lower rate compared to typical subscriptions because their experience is way better. We bootstrapped to over 100 customers. We 3D printed the devices and hand soldered dev bo…
We are making the world's lightest and easiest DIY bicycle caravan. Right now, the first test trips are happening and the results look promising. Cycling on urban roads and in the forest works really well with the bicycle caravan behind. Camping mode with the tent setup needs to be tested thoroughly before going to market. Eventually we want to provide kits in various stages of readiness, from barebones fully DIY to…
Neat. Come to Bulgaria, I can take you to a couple of metalworking workshops, and plenty of forests to test your product. :)
We’re here to make ethically-made tech sexy so it becomes the Newnorm (yup that’s the brand name). We just launched our first product ‘Sound’ last week: a pair of earbuds, headphones, and speakers in one modular system. Check it out here newnorm.tech/sound and pre-order it if high-end wireless audio is your cup of tea! If not, we’ll have many configs and allow Nike-style customization next year so keep an eye on us.…
Those headphones look like the most uncomfortable things on the planet. Are they supposed to be over-ear or on-ear?

Dude, I'm just an engineer who can do basic arithmetic.
Yeah, but you'd be amazed how few people do that basic arithmetic!

Over-ear. Curious, why do they look so uncomfortable to you? Is it because of how the earpads look on the render or anything else related to the headband frame?
I'm pretty astonished by the price, my current headphones are studio monitors that costed $50, and according to your website, the retail price of your system will be 16 times that. It's difficult to imagine justifying that, even if you also get earbuds.
