Fairphone put out a document that takes a holistic look at the environmental impact of electronics. Everything detailed by component, material, process, etc. Really interesting for those looking to dig deeper

Its beautiful

I’m looking forward to this succeeding

Got added to a techno pessimists list today lol :confused-dog: This site is wild.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I have problem stopping my self from playing one more turn in video games.

I’m seeing the same thing play out for myself with Claude code

The thought of soldering 20 buttons with a gazillion wires on a perfboard kills me. Time to learn kicad I guess

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The response on that hellsite compared to here is telling

Turned off autoplay. Saw a couple of posts today about news coming in.

I’m conflicted about wanting to not look at those images, but my body is already having a reaction from just reading the descriptions.

I used to use harmony but that got annoying and I am pretty confident I can build a custom solution instead of buying something off the shelf.

A breadboard sits on a wood tabletop. On the breadboard is a seeed studio XIAO esp32 c6 microcontroller. Connected to the microcontroller and hanging off the breadboard is a rectangular 1100 mAh battery. Also connected to the microcontroller are small tactile buttons laid out on the breadboard in a staggered manner. They are connected to microcontroller via jumper wires of different colors.

Working on a new project to control my media devices (AV receiver, TV, Fire TV dongle) and a couple of lights/scenes. Using ESPhome with commands going through home assistant and Bluetooth.

Interesting concept!

Also good to have the banner be different colors so it’s more obvious at a glance

Their feature-dev plugin is great at asking questions for under specified requirements. I wonder if that can be pulled out into a skill/sub-agent of its own…

Nix flakes on nixos but it’s definitely over engineered lol

Looking forward to seeing everything y’all build. Started playing with kcl recently…

That’s a very pervasive/invasive system

Sure, but you don’t need a green card for work authorization

SSN is not tied to residency. International students and anyone with a work authorization can get an SSN

Maybe?🤔

We need sunlight! Screenshot of sunlight calculator showing that there are 21 days until the sunlight increases, among other statistics.

In case you need it: I made a calculator that tells you how long until the daylight increases again. Hang in there!

This is amazing, thank you!

Staggering releases by holidays is diabolical

Makes sense to me

Can you host the flask app somewhere else and send the rfid data from esp to that app there?

Apologies for necroing this thread. I’ve started having conversations with engineers and leaders around this (specifically around AI coding tools) with the aim of synthesizing folks’ thoughts and experiences into an article. Would you be interested in talking about it?
