@briantw Very poor battery life, the average battery is ~400 mAh. And the conversion from 9V to 5V on the Arduino is a waste of energy. Much better with 4 x AA in an external holder which can be ~1500 to 3000 mAh.

@tronixstuff Why not? Worked well for me youtu.be/1M0ADumGuHw

Don't use these cables and 9V batteries to power your Arduino project. Thank you. #arduino

@ScottApogee @Apogee_Ent "Halt and Catch Fire" vibes. 10/10 for the neatness.

Before the Internet, this was our online distribution center (Software Creations BBS located in Boston), which cost us $20k a month to run! This was managed by my good friend back then, Dan Linton, in his basement.

@hackaday As I get older, FHD looks fine on a 65" display. Anything more feels like a waste of bandwidth and new hardware.

Are higher resolutions getting towards diminishing returns at this point? Or are you jonesing for 8K?

AI image creation is certainly powerful. Asked for Arduino-controlled traffic lights - this was the result:
