But.... Why?

No joke the the most nerve wracking thing I've seen on @styropyro_ YouTube is his just casually waving around a rare earth hockey puck strong enough to turn his bones to paste if he got caught in a steel doorframe 🤣.

@librecomputer That board looks cool, let's hope this blows over reasonably soon

Originally a $25 4GB board design. Now the LPDDR4X alone is $40 🤣. Lots of projects will be delayed until LP DRAM goes back to normal.

I was about to sit down and work on porting some RPi code for RadonEye BLE to ESPHome to fix the lack of support for the V2 model I have, but someone was already on it: github.com/esphome/esphom… Can't wait for it to get merged into @esphome_ so I don't have to do special builds.

This is always the popular rally cry for people who don't actually *use* Linux. Show me your 4 GB Linux desktop with GPU accelerated desktop and tell me how fast it is. I have ~30 such ARM devices at my disposal and no, they are not even close to a 16 GB Windows box in capability

Which VIM is which? I have to give them a ton of credit for sticking to a form factor so well that 3 generations of board can use the same case and heat sink. The rest of the SBC industry needs to pay attention. @khadas_official

One more for tonight, I have stuck an esphome yaml for the sequent Microsystems rtd-hat in GitHub: GitHub.com/singleboardsol…

@esphome_ media player on Cricket ESP32 and @adafruit speaker bonnet was _too_ easy. This will also work with the Obsidian ESP32 if you bought one, I'm hoping to have some cricket and "Obsidian Lite" boards available on Tindie soon

The Amazon Echo Show 5 sounds like a bowl of mashed potatoes decided they should become a speaker.

@davepl1968 My Model 70 with 486 above board upgrade only ran the finest Windows For Workgroups 3.11.

IBM PS/2 Model 95. But what should I run on it? It's got Win95 on it now, but... NT4? Linux?

@pepijndevos Whoa. I have a Shark IQ with lidar, but no cameras. So far it hasn't expanded my house 😂

Just stumbled across this article. Fun! abc.net.au/news/2024-10-0…

I made a short review video of our ecovacs vacuum cleaner and its various bizarre problems. Link in next tweet as per our overlords bizarre rules

Apparently @Microsoft is doing their best to look like amateur hour: github.com/microsoft/vsma…

@geerlingguy I want to know how much they paid a marketing team to simply copy/paste iPhone model naming

Its not April 1st... is Dell not selling anything besides these three laptops now? "Yes I'll take a Dell Pro Max Plus" said no one, ever.

@pepijndevos I haven't verified it yet 🫣

@TonyMac_32 Did you figure it out? Turns out mine is still wrong

Nerdsniping myself into designing the perfect GPU home server for home assistant + LLM voice assistant + media transcoding

@pepijndevos Ha, I see you were losing your mind over locating that PCIe slot too. I started measuring a motherboard ☠️

Almost done??

@pepijndevos Single lane PCIe in particular. The CM4 (and by extension compatibles) also had only 1x USB 2.0. the CM5 adds USB3, but still only single lane PCIe, so for a general purpose machine you have to make hard choices (NVMe or a general purpose PCIe slot, etc)

@TonyMac_32 Wdym disappointing?
