@textfiles There was a very interesting talk about this concept at HOPE XII:https://hackaday.com/2018/07/23/hope-xiii-time-travel-with-software-defined-radio/https://youtu.be/Y8ZVroIIhcw

@linux_mclinuxface @mmu_man I should say I've never used the package personally, but simply came across it in the past when I had some Inkscape export issues.For my own purposes, I've been using an Inkscape plugin that provides an OpenSCAD-specific DXF flavor, as the default export would sometimes lead to unexpected results.

Now that Stadia is shutting down in a few days, do you think we'll start to see hacks involving its unique WiFi controller?Anyone have an ideas on what they'd like to do with the cheap second-hand units that are likely to start popping up on eBay?#stadia #google #gaming

@pixelistik @simon Good catch. httpie/http doesn't appear to have a --fail either, it just made that up as well.So in reality, the output of ChatGPT in this case was useless other than to return the information which easily could have been pulled faster/easier from looking at the curl man page.Perhaps more to the point, I don't think an AI was necessary to figure out a logical command switch for "fail" was...believe it or not "fail".

Disappointed by some of the negative comments this piece is getting. There are many hackers stuck in jail, and while we can debate whether or not they deserve to be there; it seems unlikely privatizing their communication with the outside world is going to improve the situation.On the other hand, we could have done better in explaining how/why the #hacking community can get involved with the issue.https://hackaday.com/2023/02/13/ban-on-physical-mail-slated-for-nyc-jails-which-could-go-digital-instead/

Just released the latest "Top Posts for the Week" Short on Hackaday's YouTube channel.While I'm not overly thrilled about producing content in this form, I have to admit that the response has been very good. The videos get a decent amount of views and likes are always 90% or better.Will probably start pushing these videos out to other social accounts soon. Which means yes, Hackaday will be on TikTok...https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eBcWV3Mzhys

Well, suppose this means I'll have to start updating the Hackaday Retro Edition page again...

Working on a review for new WAINLUX laser, and part of that is making interesting things that are applicable to the hacker/maker crowd. Recently came up this Kerbal-inspired flight sim panel out of black acrylic. Have to say, the capabilities of a small desktop laser (especially one that is designed with some level of safety in mind) are very exciting. Full review on Hackaday sometime next week.

My review of the new WAINLUX K8 is now live on Hackaday.Verdict: while a diode laser will always be inherently limited compared to CO2 units like the K40, this turn-key enclosed and ventilated machine is a compelling package for hackers and makers with limited space.https://hackaday.com/2023/08/28/review-wainlux-k8-a-diode-laser-thats-ready-to-work/

Wrote up a recent side-quest I went through while working on my SAO for Supercon -- mounting DIP8 ATtiny85s like an SMD component by using a custom KiCad footprint.https://hackaday.com/2023/10/03/chip-shortage-engineering-misusing-dip-packages/

Since I've seen other people posting their Supercon SAOs, I suppose it's time to show off mine: the Cyberdeck SAO.Keeping the specifics a surprise, but pressing the button on the side will cycle through animations that reference various cyberpunk and hacking movies, plus a few other fun things.Will have 30 of these on hand, trades for other SAOs would be appreciated, but not necessary.https://hackaday.io/project/192676-cyberdeck-sao

Cyberpunk moment of zen: when it's faster (and almost as cheap) to have Amazon Prime send you out complete modules and strip them for their battery clips than it is to put an order for them through DigiKey/Mouser. #electronics

Don't think I ever posted picture of the finished project. Using 3 mm color-change LEDs and a pair of CR2032 cells in parallel which should give decent enough runtime. This Christmas Eve, there's going to be a 13 year old elf assembling these at the dining room table.#pcb #electronics #kicad

So I just got my credit card statement in the mail from Wells Fargo, and it included a full page Micro Center ad... Surely this must count as some kind of entrapment, right?

@kyle Well, that's the official line at least. But as I mention in the article, I don't believe they've successfully made that case.The machines that could have conceivably "copied" their open designs were the cheap i3 clones of years past, which didn't prevent Prusa from dominating the high-end market and having their most profitable years.But the modern competition is unlike any open printer Prusa ever made. They didn't need to copy Prusa when they already had the more advanced design.
