The random thing I am grumpy about today is datasheets that don’t provide nominal dimensions :/ #electronics #hardwarehackers #manufacturing

Oh, those threaded inserts are nice!

I decided that we need a better development setup for Black Magic Probe v3. I designed a little breakout carrier. We will likely spend some quality time with a debugger hooked up to it so I think it will be a worthwhile. The SMT threaded inserts are really nice. I also 3D printed a base to keep the TH pins from scratching the table. ;) #embedded #development #hardwarehackers #electronics #debugging #kicad

I just found out that Louis Rossmann is pretty damn pissed at companies at the moment. People should probably watch his video rather than read a description of it:
The time point kind of show's it more than the rest of the video, but that's just, like, my opinion man.

Hey everyone! We have some great news! The @hextreeio ( aka. @stacksmashing and @LiveOverflow ) Faultier and GlitchTags are now also available in the German (EU) store! Get them now it is only a small initial batch! https://1bitsquared.de/products/faultier #electronics #infosec #hardwarehackers #hardware #embedded #glitch

For my defense I did not have the time or energy to ask them what the hell and just rolled with it. I now pay the consequences of having to shuck 500 of these dumb panels :/ (they arrived in three massive boxes, such a waste of resources I feel bad :( ) #electronics #opensource #fpga #hardwarehackers #manufacturing

Why did JLCPCB not panelize them onto larger panels is beyond me SMH #electronics #opensource #fpga #hardwarehackers #manufacturing

Freshly baked iCEBreaker FPGA batch ;) #fpga #opensource #electronics #manufacturing #hardwarehackers #openhardware

Running low on iCEBreakers so today we do some assembly to stock up :) #fpga #opensource #electronics #manufacturing #hardwarehackers #openhardware

First batch of @hextreeio Faultiers and GlitchTag are packed for shipping! More will go out as soon as we receive the next batch of boards! :) https://1bitsquared.com/products/faultier #electronics #hardwarehackers #opensource

Hey everyone! We have some great news. We at 1BitSquared started a collaboration with @hextreeio ( aka. @stacksmashing and @LiveOverflow ). We are now offering the Faultier power glitch tool and Glitch Tag targets! They work great with @hextreeio hardware security courses. https://1bitsquared.com/products/faultier #electronics #infosec #hardwarehackers #hardware #embedded #glitch

@SweetAIBelle thanks!

That's exactly what I was looking for - tho I've to also find the #WindowsXP drivers since #WindowsVista really feels garbage on these machines...

• Sadly the #PPA for the #Pulsbo / #GMA500 driver on #UbuntuLTS 12.04 went down and I've yet to source that #binaryblob and Kernel Module loader & build script as this provided #OpenGL ES hardware acceleration, and neither #Intel nor #PowerVR / #ImaginationTechnologies were willing to release it, despite it existing (there even was a #DellMini with #Ubuntu 8.04 sold with it!)...

Either way, I think that both the #EeePC701 and #Vaio #P11Z would greatly benefit from being rereleased with a new, #IntelAtom / #CeleronJ / #N100-based Mainboard and other updated components that make then quieter, more power saving and way faster...

• Some Chinese #HardwareHackers going by the group alias #NB51 did make their own custom #Mainboard for the #ThinkPad #X230 but those were super rare and expensive if even available...

If I had the money I would've likely completed the #NUCbook and just go with a chonky machine...

#USBC #USBPD folks, I've got a device (battery) here that I didn't think was doing anything with PD but causes all of my meters (Ruideng, Uni-T, Satechi) to reset repeatedly unless I provide auxiliary power. This only happens when charging, not discharging.

Any #hardwarehackers got any hints for me?

As I basically drowned on Twitter, let's try here to see if someone can help me out: what would be the cheapest possible device that has some kind of location (GPS etc), some kind of display and some kind of input?

Context: I created whenwhere.cf as a proof of concept for hopefully some day creating a cheap device for addressing in the poorest regions, when phones are a luxury. Having cheap navigation and addressing without map or internet dependency can hugely improve people's lives.

Several years ago I purchased a second-hand PED. It was before the contactless ones became widespread. (At least in the UK 😂​) I took it apart to see what kind of anti-tamper mechanisms it had.
