Fun things about manufacturing physical things: considering all the permutations in variances in tolerance

eg. if the screw-holes are 0.1mm larger than model, and the screws are 0.13mm longer than model, and then repeat this for the front and back… are the screws going to run into each other in the middle?

it’s 100% a psychological thing but i do think music from my tangara sounds better than other sources

i’m pretty happy with my current mouse, but i think i would like it even more if it had an extra button ‘for ai’. please tech companies invent this key innovation

do you currently have a job that feels stable / secure, looking forward into the next 5 or so years?

it feels a bit silly to come up with a whole Label System when i currently have a total of two (2) small cartons of production stuff. but seems better to start doing it earlier than i need than later than i need

@jacqueline better now than when you need to figure out why seven tangaras are suddenly having a bad time and you have no idea which bits went into what

for those continuing to play along at home, this is 32 displays. a hair under 250 grams.

easy to store, not very heavy, and a moderate amount of space. a real winner for bulk ordering!

kicking the tyres on sourcehut releases https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tangara-fw/releases/tag/v0.9.0

they seem fine so far! tho it is a bit awkward that i attached the build artifact by downloading it from a sourcehut build page then reuploading it to codeberg manually. it would be nice to automate this in a way that's also auditable

I expected it to be bad (ie. little box that talks to backend server where all the smarts / API calls live), but not quite this bad:

@jacqueline bsides canberra is apparently alright, but I’ve still not managed to actually get to one.

(the infosec crowd appears to be a higher-variance around the baseline though; more cool queers, but more dickheads.)

What's up, peeps? I've been so bad at keeping up with mastodon- what cool stuff have y'all been up to?

@stargirl Hi / welcome back!

Continuing work on Ye Olde Tangara (now with Less Bulky Case), kitbashing together a mini HDMI monitor, fixing my old set of Logitech speakers to not be so damn bassy, swapping my new-old thinkpad over to USB-C power, having a big nap, uhhhh …

A palm-sized HDMI display with a 3D-printed case styled after an old beige CRT monitor. The STL was a big modification of a ‘286 Raspberry Pi’ project on thingiverse.
The guts of a Logitech X-530 bass speaker, an arrow pointing to an SMD resistor on the board I needed to swap out to make the bass knob actually, y’know, turn down the bass.
A Thinkpad T460, internals visible, showing a USB-C trigger-board placed where the power socket used to be. A 3D-printed block keeps the board in place, along with an amount of hot glue. (@jacqueline did this one for me; I was too scared)
