hi @olimex would you be open to think/work on a e-bike/cargo-bike motor controller ??? (based on VESC open source design)
(long time customer here) we're looking for an european provider for a series of vehicles for @Shifti_SC ; but we also know there is demand for e-bike controllers to repair default ones ...

I am not in need for a computer at the moment but I wanted to support @mntmn and their team a little, so I bought a hooded zipper [0] with a logo. It is cosy and looks nice. You can do the same to support open hardware projects.

I finally have a partial answer to the question "how long will a #Signet last?"

Previously, we have never seen one wear out, but after 7.5 years, most of which was daily use, my 2017 Signet started having intermittent problems with the USB connector. I had to jiggle it to get it to work.

7+ years is better than you'll get from any commercial company, but here's the real kicker...

I replaced the USB connector and it works reliably again!

@kdkorte that sounds amazing. Will be great material for academia if it ever gets to mass production. Thank you for sharing and tagging this #openhardware

While most car companies fight the right to repair, we might get an open-hardware truck. I can't wait to see users try to push the limits on what's allowed on the highway.

🔧 Big news: the first Liberux dev-board is here!

After weeks of work, we’ve finally received the assembled PCB and already started booting it up. Our hardware team has spent the last days debugging, testing, and getting the SoC to talk to the PC, and we’re officially entering the bring up phase! 🎉

📚 We just published a full post with all the details, photos and videos: 👉 https://liberux.net/our-first-dev-board-has-arrived/

I was browsing mods for an old #thinkpad, and came across display mods that enable swapping in a bigger and more modern screen. Both the #x200 and #x230 apparently have been modded to support #eDP screens.
The people doing these mods charged money, which is fine. But didn't publish schematics, instructions etc., which is not fine.

Evertop is a portable retro PC with an E Ink display and hundreds of hours of battery life

Most modern laptops have battery life measured in hours. Smartphones may run for a day or two, and tablets can sometimes go a bit longer. But the Evertop is a portable computer with an E Ink display and integrated keyboard that promises “hundreds or even thousands of hours” of battery life from a single charge. And when the battery is running low you can use the built-in solar panel to refuel […]

Reading through the #ZeroWriterInk update this morning on tariffs. It's making me feel pretty damn disgusted with my own country, and it wasn't something I derived any pride from before reading it as is.

Fucking stupid, the damage we're inflicted on ourselves, our neighbors, our friends in Canada and elsewhere in this god damn trade war. #ZeroWriter #OpenHardware #CrowdSupply #MadeInCanada #eInk #ePaper

Anyone has recommendations for a weather station? Or a good guide on where to begin?

I would love to build my own but its been a project for years and I havent gotten to it yet.
