Yeah the buttons are actually tactile switches - it was hard to find ones that fit but eventually I found a good match on Ali express. You want 4.8x4.8x0.55mm smd thin film tactile switches. [1] Only one button was malfunctioning but I repl

It was pretty intense, but mostly because I’m clumsy and didn’t plan anything. There’s not a lot of room on the board, so I soldered 0402 resistors directly to the pins on the port to allow it to work with modern PD chargers, and I had to e

You can get “broken” ones on EBay pretty cheap. Be careful prying them open though - there’s no aftermarket shells unfortunately. I spent a weekend not long ago upgrading a broken Sansa Clip+ with a new battery, RockBox, and a USB-C port -

I owe a lot of the most informative programming work I’ve done to Impact. Impact was so ahead of its time. Proud to say I was one of the 3000 license owners. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The only game I’ve ever really properly

Tailwind is a set of design primitives and tooling that are designed to work together in a manner that is more flexible than something like Bootstrap. You could recreate bootstrap’s look -with- Tailwind. See the many off the shelf UI librar

In the real world projects tend to have staff with a range of skill levels, and deadlines. This isn’t just in “sweatshops”. Being a skilled engineer means understanding these constraints and choosing tools that help your team succeed, even

You could “achieve” this with raw CSS classes easily, sure, but good luck maintaining your hand-authored design system. Tailwind is successful because it has a very well-thought-out design system powering it. If that sounds like a “non-prob

When it comes to VR, for theme park use it’s hard to see how this would be more cost effective than a large open space, maybe with many floors stacked to maximize throughput. For home use this seems like it will never be cheap enough to be
