HOLY COWS! (MULTIPLE!) when was the last time, someone build a FULLY FUNCTIONAL COMPUTER INSIDE A GAME??? it’s called “RedStone” CPU because it’s largely build from in-game stones that are glowing red they are basically used like a wire (to […]
the USB cable coming with this cost effective unit is VERY SHORT and NOT WELL SHIELDED had an older adapter of the same brand without any problems doing backups on FRONT USB copy oeprations would stall and even keyboard and […]
WARNING! WORDPRESS DISPLAYS ONE-LINER-COMMANDS IN MULTIPLE LINES MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS COPY THE WHOLE LINE! based on https://anchored.host/articles/how-to-turn-a-debian-machine-into-a-router hardware requirements: have at least 2x network interfaces LAN (internal network shielded from WAN) WAN (this is the network that connects to […]
update! unfortunately someone screwed up: INSTALL THE BELOW IMG AND NO UPDATES! 🙁 because 2nd nic will stop working 🙁 imho of course ARM is very energy efficient (like 3W?) so it can run for hours from a powerbank so […]
https://hackerboards.com update! unfortunately someone screwed up: INSTALL THE BELOW IMG AND NO UPDATES! 🙁 THE SOLUTION: USE x86 BASED DUAL LAN EMBEDDED PC AS ROUTER X-D (with proper software support) https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac.html https://mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/networking/stmmac.txt latest armbian has a problem: user can use […]

Starlink is a cost effective internet-via-satellite provider run by SpaceX at 2024-01 currently (2014-01) counts over x > 2 mio customers SpaceX plans to put 12.000 to 42.000 satellites into Low Earth Orbit (LEO). currently (2024-01) 5289 satellites (Wiki) in […]
once upon a time… found a strange looking cable.. Double micro audio jack? WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT? It is a serial-to-usb programming radio cable for RETEVIS handheld “walkie talkie” radios, that allows to set different modes of the radio […]
it truly works OUT OF THE box 😀 (without complicated manual compilation of drivers) this screenshot says “disabled” because wifi adapters were “soft blocked” # tested on lsb_release -d Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) (x86 and ARMv7 (ODROID XU4)) su […]
From Open Source software to Open Hardware: RISC-V is the future: “Computer chip designs are expensive and hard to license. That’s all about to change thanks to the popular open standard known as RISC-V” https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/01/09/1064876/riscv-computer-chips-10-breakthough-technologies-2023/ future Smart Phones could be […]
2023 Update: first scandal with SandDisk SSDs: cheap solder. WD helps ruining latest bought up brandname SandDisk it’s name for quality, by building maximal cheap crap and selling it for premium prices: “Suspected cause of SSD death raises eyebrows | […]
those did not: no matter the position of the poti, the output current did not change at all X-D #wtf is going on? (power source was a “12V” solar panel delivering 20V which is in the allowed input range of […]
why? because it would be a shame to put all those intel Macs to the trash not particularly big fan of the aluminum bodies (uses loads of energy to make also not healthy to be touched daily) but they surely […]
mekotronicsplz note: “the-best-technology-does-nothing-without-a-good-human-culture” Yes! Read that correctly, modern SmartPhones are actually full blown computers, so why not use them as such? Now that they have enough (RISC) based computational power that they can replace Desktop and Notebooks, problem: they can […]
easiest and best fire protection: have the cells SPACED apart, so one cell CAN NOT heat up surrounding cells put the battery pack in as-thick-as possible metal box then put plastic bag of sand on top of pack (better than […]
about giada are small, power efficient but powerfull embedded PCs (x86 and ARM, tested the F300, 5 years later: 30x boxes still working perfectly fine, not even a power supply failed!) 😀 benchmark results: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/9718004 quasi same CPU speed as […]
