Looks like they are scraping the barrel of things to copy paste into the gpt filter. So pathetically lazy.

The LED deltoidal hexacontahedron is complete! 60 identical PCB sides covered with 3D printed diffusers. Two #Pixelblaze controllers work in sync to provide a fast frame rate for patterns on the 1200 LEDs.

That's good, because if you end up inside one of these, it gets exponentially more expensive after the 30min mark.

If I had a vehicle that the mfg had contractually prohibited me from selling, I'd probably be thinking of ways to make use of any insurance... "Oh *no* - recalls? Would be a shame if someone just torched it instead - Anyway, look, fire!"

Is it not from the... internet? The amount of people who want to sell me mushrooms on IG makes me think at least somehwere, there must be people selling everything else just as casually. (It's totally a scam thing isn't it)

I need to make a note to find something using this. Or maybe sneak some Samtec Samples to add to the pinboard...

Prompt engineering would be useful for arguing with the marketing department. But unless you can also engineer, the only conversation you'd have with them is as a customer, maybe.

Yeah I have regret at missing it, but honestly I'd not realized it would obviously be a very day time thing. Was 1pm before I realized I was already very very late to the party.

Actually, pulled out the box last weekend and found an iPhone charge cable that a friend's daughter needed. This vindication means the box will only get bigger, and possibly multiply.😁

FB also is just mad, because you get stuff like this, which looks like ai, but I'm pretty sure someone made this.

A Facebook group post reading "Creative Own - Simple inverter circuit for generating electricity from a 3 volt battery"

The photo is a 18650 cell holder. Switch, capacitor (the wrong way round) and a lamp fixture, all in series

Apologies for straight up cross-posting from FB, but I had to see this, so now you all have to see it also.

No no no, USB C was all about one *connector* to replace them all, and at least 4/5 defined specs for the different class cables between said connectors.

For that board? Not reallllly sure, this one says it's actually just DDR2->DDR2. But. It's like 2 dollars.

Considering doing things I'd put on blast if I saw in the wild...

the butterfly meme, depicting the question of if one can use a DDR2 SODIMM extender to form the worlds worst breakout board for hacking onto a Raspberry Pi compute module.

Is a product actually considered open source if the sources aren't open? No schematic, or board file, or even gerbers... It just doesn't sound like open *source* to me. If they are "planning" to release... Then this isn't actually (yet) "open source" at a headline level...

An excerpt from the article reading "The development team plans to open source Ink Console after the Crowd Supply campaign. They will open the SDK, release STEP files for the case, and provide the bill of materials for the hardware."

Cursed Connectors @cursed-connectors.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

You'd hope, right? Surprising it's on-board. I mean, yes, cost, but so so so many of these sorts of devices just farm it out and certify based on "it's a WROOM module". Seemingly means you can stick the module on a daughter board and only have to submit photos of that part of the internals?

Yes I know it's a myth, but also, the Venn diagram on "things with a shoddy ec mark that *will* kill you", and "things you can buy from AliExpress", is about as spherical as an ASML mirror.

You mean UL for Utterly Lethal, right? Just like how there's one CE for "Conformité Européenne", and one for China export, right.

I use these in my DMM. One on charge ready to go when one runs out. Not bought a 9v for quite some time.

010

Cursed Connectors @cursed-connectors.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Yeah fine, absolutely! Just like the rechargeable 9V are fine for a dmm. So long as you never ever use it while it's on charge.

Cursed Connectors @cursed-connectors.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Oh absolutely not. Just to be clear, in case anyone ever sees such a cable - this is a very dangerous thing to do. The safety rating of your handheld DMM, and therefore *your* safety, rely on the fact there is no path to ground. A cable like this cab provide such a path, and *could* be lethal.

an aliexprss listing for a cable with USB-A on one end, and a PP9 battery connetor on the other. It's being sold as suitable for use in handheld DMM's, smoke alarms and medical devices.

a diagram from the cable seller showing step by step how to kill someone. I mean, how to use this cable to power a handheld DMM.
