They’re hidden in the same sense that the real “download” button is hidden on most torrent sites.

You might be able to coat them, but for long term applications I think you’d be better off etching FR4 the old fashioned way. This sounds like a huge breakthrough for low cost rapid prototyping, though.

I’ve never seen a Phillips screw get stripped without first camming out a few times.

That’s only true for the high-end Pi 5. Lower-powered models like the zero 2 are still cheap, and they’re a lot easier to find than a few years ago.

They aren’t very useful for much besides hobby projects. Modern hardware is more energy efficient and will be cheaper in the long run compared to anything that would be considered e-waste. The only advantage an old laptop has is the initial cost, so it makes sense for a small home server.

While the cold war is passing out of living memory, the chill that it left on American leftism for the better part of 100 years is hard to overstate.

The Cold War ended in 1991, what are you talking about?

Respectful, I disagree. I’ve learned a lot from people making small comments like that, even when they’re unintentionally blunt.

Helpful by sharing information they believed to be true, that they thought you might not have heard/known. I don’t see any malice in their post or any expectation that you change what you’re doing.

I don’t think that was meant as criticism, it seemed like they were trying to be helpful.

Awesome keeb, BTW!

What did you program your knobs to do? All of the above?

Based on this research paper, washing with soap and warm water is enough to remove harmful bacteria.

That depends… I watched a video where a guy spent hours casting and machining a small part out of aluminum in his garage to avoid paying the manufacturer $30.

Probably TPU (thermo polyurethane), at least that’s what I’ve used.

You could print a mold and cast it out of food grade silicone.

That’s a good way to keep filament dry, but it takes a very long time to remove moisture from filament that way. It’s a lot faster to use a dryer/dehydrator before putting it in the dry box.

You forgot the /s so I’ll pretend you’re being serious:

Of course you can debug the kernel drivers, it is open source after all. But it’s always easier to start with a working system and change one thing at a time to isolate any issues that might come up.

Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.

(6) Try buying a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush in the US. Oh wait, you can’t, it’s banned.

Not the best example since they’re trying to reverse all of these environmental protections.

Because 99.999% of the time the hardware you’re buying is different from the hardware you have prior experience with. Even if the model numbers are the same there could be a change in hw or fw revision that breaks compatability with whatever drivers you previously had success with.

Yes, obviously they’re for communicating with other drivers, what gave you the impression I meant otherwise? I was responding to this in your last post:

Unless you turn your blinker on to let people know your want over how is anyone going to give you enough space to merge in? […] You need to hit the blinker to let others know you want to move then check for space.

There are a lot of times where it makes sense to wait for a gap in traffic, rather than asking people to let you merge. And in those situations you would check for space before turning on your signal. You should still use your signal, even if you know you already have space to merge.
