Fold 4 daily driver. It's easily my favorite phone since my motoX many years ago. I can't imagine going back to a non-foldable. Looking at floorplans, videos, documents, photos, you name it is so much nicer on a small tablet vs a phone screen. I'll absolutely be getting another foldable when I'm done with this one.

I came across this today and I thought it might be an incredibly powerful tool. So I was curious to see if anybody in this community has used it yet?

Back when they introduced their marketplace, I found an extremely good deal. Thinking it was too good to be true, but cheap enough to say "what the heck," I bought it anyway. Fast forward a week and I received a completely different item than what was described (no surprise, to be honest) in the listing. Naturally, I reached out to customer service for a refund because the item I received was not as advertised. To my surprise, Newegg refused to refund me the whole amount even though they acknowledged the listing was essentially a scam, so I back charged through my credit card. Then, they banned my account. I had been an avid supporter of the company and built many computers from things purchased there, up until that complete joke of a refund process.

Newegg died the day they sold out way back in the 2010s, screw that horrible customer service.

So I was shopping with my wife today and I said "oh let's see if my membership helps out." So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same! So what is it exactly that I'm paying for in this membership if the items "original price" is higher for me than it is for regular shoppers?

Wow that's a blast from the past.

Un fucking believable.

Greetings again! Yesterday I posted the schematic for this circuit, and today I have routed it as a 2 layer PCB. The intent of this board is for it to be a playground to build autonomous LED animations with the LP5812 ICs from TI, which seem pretty neat.

I'm hoping to get feedback on this design and sanity checks to make sure I haven't missed something when routing this out. I couldn't figure out how to upload multiple photos, so I'll add some more views in the comments. Cheers!

If you're interested in the KiCad files or other related things, I've got it on GitHub.

Greetings! I've been throwing this schematic together as I want to experiment with the TI LP5812 IC which is an i2c controlled autonomous matrix LED driver. I am a novice when it comes to electronics so I'm looking to see if I've missed anything in this demo board schematic.

The intended purpose of this circuit will be to provide a playground to experiment with different lighting patterns by allowing the user to interact with two of these LP5812 ICs over i2c as each can only drive 4 RGB leds each.

My main points of concern: Making sure that I haven't missed anything critical in the rather dense TI datasheet https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lp5812.pdf?ts=1710689049125 as well as making sure that my schematic makes sense.

I chose not to include i2c pullups on this dev board as I felt that was best left for the host to configure, but I'm happy to learn. Thank you!

This update causes my Jetbrains IDE to randomly crash several times a day, it's great. Also my USB hubs wouldn't work this morning until I power cycled everything a few times. What fun!

I hope this doesn't mean they are on the slippery slope of selling user data, thoughts?

That box art looks really cool!

This makes it feel even more bleak. Where is all this money coming from?! Who is funding this and how?

Glad I can shove more things into the same physical space. I can't wait until HAMR is ready next!

Ruby! It's a wonderful language with a fantastic community, mature frameworks, and active development on performance and core features.

I don't think titles directly transfer between companies, and yet the industry allows it. It's a very useful tool for advancement.

Time on the job does not equate to skill. Some jobs force you to figure shit out that other jobs simply never expose you to. Other jobs expose you to lots of busywork and that isn't going to make you a better engineer either.

I've met senior engineers with 3 years that are significantly more useful than senior engineers with 10 years. Individual motivation and willingness to learn matter the most to me.

I have used the ladder to my advantage and advise others to do the same. It's a game, you don't win by not playing.

Well, it's been 2 minutes since you posted. Any updates?

What a sad state this country is coming to. We deserve affordable access to safe healthcare. Abortion is healthcare!
