@eliteobsolete I remember having StarCraft LAN parties in computer labs like this with my friends.

never again

My potentiometer board is connected to the computer now, and it works. Each slider controls a different property of the waveform animation on the computer.

@RetroNora7734 Why would someone modify a floppy drive?

EC 5323 - MF 58D- 5,25" 720K floppy drive made in Hungary by MOM. This one seems to be modified by previous owner.

@LucasBotkin Every ten-year-old boy's dream job.

“what do you do for work?” “I shoot artillery shells at mountains to keep avalanches at bay.”

@fidexcode I used to carry a binder with me, where I printed out my source code on paper, so I could debug it while I was away from my computer. I called it "code on the road."

I can't believe I once tried to memorize code syntax

@nalinrajput23 It's not much, but it's honest work.

Is there anything JavaScript can’t do?

@oprydai I wish my garage looked that clean.

add this photo to your 2026 goals board.

@ionthedev When we cook chicken like that, we call it "spatchcock." With all those cables, maybe this could be called "patchcock"?

@davepl1968 It's beautiful.

My webserver...

@sparkfun This is cool. What kind of applications would you use GPS for?

Want to add GPS/GNSS to your Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Orin Nano Super? We just put Septentrio's new Mosaic-G5 on a breakout and have incorporated it into our GNSS Flex system, which mounts to your favorite dev kits securely via an extended 40-pin header! bit.ly/4q8Q2fd

@_devJNS I leaned to code from reading books, before YouTube existed. I wrote code that worked, but was hard to maintain. By the time I got to college, I was taught how to do it the right way, and I had to unlearn many of my bad habits.

is this true?

@ionthedev Cool! I love the idea of using physical knobs to adjust the colors. It reminds me of the old IBM 5153 color monitor my family used to have, which had separate physical dials for power, contrast, and brightness.

@peni_izayoi And then do you just solder these pins on the board? I tried stripping some stranded wire for this purpose, but it just fell apart.

@ClueVaultGames if u have long pins like from stacking headers u can use these two pin jumper/shunts. they might be kinda loose.

I just did an electronics soldering job for the first time. I wanted to mount some inputs to a board and connect the pins together for stability. Is there a better way to link two pins on a board than using a copious amount of solder to conduct the electricity?

@willreil Looks cool! I just did my first soldering on a protoboard like this, too.

Soldered some wires to a junk protoboard to practice before mangling the real board. I’m basically an expert by this point. Next up is wiring the real board! 🦾

@CSProfKGD I'm afraid a college degree has already been devalued. 38% of American adults have a bachelor's degree or higher; a century ago, it was only 8%.

Professors are turning to oral exams to stop AI use

@codewithpri Mine would vibrate a lot.

Startup idea: a keyboard that vibrates every time you write bad code.

@dev_maims I never had a phone like that. My first was an iPhone I got at age 27.

what's stopping you from coding like this ?

@Jackalopes_Inc I saw Treasure Island there once.

@ClueVaultGames I’ve been in this side theatre and the big theatre. They did Fiddler on the Roof in the round and it was absolutely amazing.

If you’re ever visiting Utah I highly recommend a trip to the Hale Theatre. Their stage productions are on a whole nother level.
