Because of careful planning, sheer {un}luck and Quantum Entanglement, I can add significantly important components to this present that I have gotten, a very short while ago, to boost the functionality of this very nice, made and produced in the UK, Nano computing system of which you can see the name in the photograph {Alt text included}

I can go from the basic storage that was provided in the present 🎁 all the way up to Two Hundred Fifty Six GB. I even got a very nice Red White enclosure with an important cooling fan for the system, with the inclusion of cooling blocks!

I also got a neat 27 Watts USB-C power supply for the system.

The only things missing are the two Micro HDMI to HDMI cables.

That also means that I cannot power up the system and see what actually goes on.

What I can see however, is that the moment I apply Power to the system, the status Led goes from dark to red stays a second or four at that state, then becomes green which means that the POST has executed successfully.

Continued thread

The #ArgonOneUP to me has some PineBook vibes but abusing USB-C for a #GPIO connector is not just cursed but dangerous as in "Do they have some protection circuitry to protect it from stupid plugging it into a #USBc charger?"

  • Instead of going exteme on the "#thinn-ness" they could've chosen to just have some magnetic-attaching pogo pin thingy that gets plonk'd into an #IDE 40-pin / 44-pin - style connector instead. (as that has way less chance to get intermixed with a real IDE device!)

Plus I'm shure they could've made it cheaper, last longer on battery and be more hackable if they used like 18540 or 14500 cells instead.

  • To me it looks like someone took a generic "#LincPlus" "#Ultrabook" and widened the "#SSD hatch" to accompany a #CM5 as well as an M.2 SSD...

@blog thx for the #HonestWords.

To me that touchscreen sounds awful.

Most 3rd party products that aim to compete with any established brand at least get the #price lower than the established players if they can't be assed to at least have the same level of #documentation, #quality or #support than i.e. #RaspberryPi.

  • At that insultingly high price I can get a #Pi0W2, an #HDMI + #GPIO / #USB touchscreen of the same resolution and still have change for a decent microSD and Power Supply, and that can display anything.

For €100 I can get some 1080p screen if not a decent #touchscreen if I snipe the right corners and ain't afraid of returns and refurbished parts.

  • At that price point it's absolutely not acceptable that they didn't put even a DSI connector on and included a HDMI driver board in the box. Espechally when it's not an #eInk screen!

I was applying for a lil Art show that goes in conjunction with a Texas glass conference I am presenting at later this year when I realized that I dont actually have any edited photos of the Big Cobalt Sunset Eclipse Sphere I made last year.

A few minutes in GIMP fixed that. Here are two that make it look a little rounder than it really is.

Doubtful that they will have the shipping budget... but also doubtful that they will be able to find something quite like it. Who knows, a Fort Worth business might really like it? The piece is inspired by the eclipse that want through there last year... and those beautiful Texas Sunsets.

This piece can currently be seen (partially) LIVE at this link

As part of a server sculpture I am actively developing for an upcoming show.

Is it just me or is every demo/overview of the #FlipperZero extremely unimpressive (especially those for a mainstream audience).

I regretfully watched one such video earlier and one of the features highlighted was the ability to copy TV remote signals :blobcatgoogly2: ...I get it was aimed at a non-technical audience but I literally had a watch that could do that when I was a kid and to this day grandparents around the world have universal remotes with this capability...

So I want to put it out there to the #infosec community - where are the cool flipper zero #projects? And I don't mean installing #DOOM or some other quirky play thing. I want to see legit #RF #hacking, or at least using the #GPIO!

#Troubleshooting tip for #odroid users with the #armbian system.
If you have installed #wiringpi from #github* , add the option "-static" to the ''gcc' command.
If you compile with the dynamic libraries, you are likely to get the message:

ops: Unable to determine board revision from /proc/device-tree/system/linux,r
evision
or from /proc/cpuinfo
-> No "Hardware" line
-> You'd best google the error to find out why.

A friend of mine made a board to upgrade the uConsole, expanding the GPIO and unused USB with i2c headers and a USB2 hub.

It connects to the 40-pin, 0.5mm pitch GPIO FFC/FPC connector, as well as being soldered to the unallocated USB4 pads. It splits out 3.3V I2C, providing a Qwiic connector (JST-SH) and soldering headers, and also provides a GL850-based USB2 Hub, the 4 ports accessible by soldering headers.
