This is my first official post on here. Everything prior to this post was an automated import from the other place. Now, I guess it's time to rip off the Band-Aid and actually move over here for real.

Does anybody want a 2U rackmount DMG GameBoy for chiptunes? Because I have plans for one, and really want to build it, but I have absolutely no use for the thing and can't afford a useless project, so I'd love to build this thing for somebody who would actually use it...

The LCD Jewel project is still in the works, it is moving to a new MCU. The ESP32-P4 is a powerful video enabled MCU that is designed for multimedia, which is what I want the Jewel to do. Here is my first PCB Test, I am just waiting on the P4 to drop for mass manufacturing.

Weird. Looks like somebody is going through compromised data dumps and testing card numbers on Ebay. I've gotten multiple fraudulent charges from Ebay for several hundred dollars that were immediately reversed. They also tried an old card number that hasn't worked for years.

They finally did it. twitter dot com actually 302 redirects to x dot com. Twitter is officially dead.

"Don't use rules" Ah, the smell of anarchy in the morning. https://twitter.com/iavins/status/1858902139424137561

My company has officially gone Serverless(tm)

My 6-pin SOT test socket breakout boards turned out great. The pin number text is a bit obscured on the SOT-23 board, but I can live with it. Huge improvement over the original garbage they came with. I'm calling this one a win.

Since it looks like somebody has started claiming and squatting on usernames of people in the retro space over at the other place, I just wanted to reiterate that my username over there is me, I just haven't used it yet. I probably will eventually, but just FYI.

Me when I'm sick and remember that netti pots really freaking work, but... https://t.co/NsXIY1dnj9

Violence Fan: Acquired

We can officially retire the "X has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever" meme. It's done. Pack it up. Nothing can ever top The Onion buying InfoWars.

Sure, until Godbolt's Law bites you in the ass. 🤣 https://twitter.com/ryanjfleury/status/1856393194361204800

Rewatching Arcane Season 1 now that the new episodes are out and holy shit I forgot how good that final sequence was. What Could Have Been is absolutely haunting.

PSA: Don't install high-MERV/HEPA filters on your HVAC inlet unless it's specifically rated for them (and it probably isn't). Best case, you'll get terrible flow rates and decreased performance. Mid case, you'll trip safety sensors. Worst case you'll burn up your motor.

Anybody want an IBM 6787 typewriter in immaculate condition?

Everybody is talking about those chinese knockoff dyson impellers, and part of me wants to shove one into a 3D printer toolhead for part cooling. Most of me knows that's a crazy, terrible idea, but that one part though...🤣

PSA: GuliKit TMR stick boxes don't appear to have any lubricant in them. Pack some silicone/PTFE (SuperLube) in there before installation. A little goes a long way. I use a toothpick and hold the stick in each direction to really get it in there, then work the stick in circles.

Looks like my reflow oven has gone missing in the process of moving to a new office 😭 Of all the things that could have disappeared, I have no idea how THAT's the thing I can't find.

Just finished physically relocating a small multi-tenant datacenter across town. Highlight of the weekend was driving a convoy of cars full of servers and half of us nearly getting T-boned by a pair of code 3 state troopers as we crossed the highway. 😬

Of course it's powered externally. If you powered it internally, like with say, an on-board nuclear reactor, you'd have no way to stop it when it goes rogue, intent on exterminating the human race. An external power supply is an easy killswitch. https://t.co/E0mR6oOMeM

Really hoping that the reports are true that @thebehemoth is aware of and working on a fix for Castle Crashers on Switch losing all music with the latest system update :( Guess I'll just use this opportunity to hawkster glitch my characters to max level in silence...

I just had a really stupid idea for dressing up Halloween candy.

If I had any video editing skills whatsoever, I would splice together The Adama Maneuver from BSG with the bowl of petunias from Hitchhiker's Guide, because they're basically the same scene.

So, who's gonna be the first to build a stand for the new Mac Mini with a lever to press the stupid power button?
