We've got this cheap egg cooker that plays the loudest, most terrifying alarm you've ever heard when it's done cooking. My wife requested that I make it "less aggressive" so I hacked it into the most gentle egg cooker of ALL TIME
@blitzcitydiy Was it because the basement vibes were off? because I'm about 3 more botched attempts at Amazing Grace from "asking" this person to go downstairs ๐
@gvy_dvpont the sax failure was more of a public school system failure. i've had many successful musical rehearsals in basements. if anything a basement is ideal
Still unpacking from Open Hardware Summit (both brain-wise and clothing-wise). I had an impossible amount of fun and was so glad to meet so many of you IRL.
This is my entry for the Boston Stupid Shit Nobody Needs & Terrible Ideas hackathon.
The game is actually modified! I jammed libcurl into the chocolate doom source port and wrote a little python server to generate qr codes and handle the payment info.
I gotta say the mastodon web UI looking/feeling really good to me these days!
I understand the criticisms, but I really, really, miss quote reposts over here. Sharing something with context feels like a fundamental social media feature.
@gvy_dvpont ooh do you have any of the one-touch pump bottles? I bought a couple a while back and they're by far my favourite way to dispense IPA onto lint-free wipes.
@gvy_dvpont The outcome from a prototype really should be knowledge, not a "thing" in itself...
... but often, the "thing" is good enough, so it lives on, warts and all, and the knowledge is noted, usually in a blog post, in case I ever do get around to having another go and doing it "properly" :)
So what is a prototype? Usually the one I never intended to keep but kept anyway as the "fun" bit (the figuring out) was now done!
These M5Stack C6Nano boards are so friggin cute. Esp-32 C6, 2 LEDs, nice clicky button, IR, and a couple IO. Pretty limited but if you got something you need networked with little room to spare...
