- bparsons 4y agoI miss the nano. It was the last Apple product that was differentiated in any way from its lower cost competitors.
- afandian 4y agoMikes Electric Stuff is one of my absolute favourite channels on YouTube. Highly recommend. A couple of classics: Heavily modified BBC Micro: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=la-sGpTpkxE https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=la-sGpTpkxE Design of LED sculpture with some interesting commentary: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qlmywxjau0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qlmywxjau0

- cunidev 4y agoLCD displays are among the most fragmented hardware when it comes to firmware.

Happy to see more and more independent reversing attempts around.
