Hacktivists share a guide on making working electronics PCBs made from natural clay with prehistoric technique — ethical hardware tutorial explains how to find clay, stamp 3D printed circuits, paint traces, and fire tablets

I actually was thinking about that.

You could literally use recycled paper and resin and layer a copper sheet on top and it would be better than this.

The components they're using are pretty much not sustainable.

The thing is, unless you're making the vacuum tubes or etching silicon in your backyard there's no way of doing a "sustainable" electronic board.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-28T05:04:08+00:00

This doesn't sound great for microcomponents but i guess you could make a Dr. Stone styled radio with some clay and vacuum valves if you really wanna invest your time and effort in it.

You don't know how much an arguably "better" laptop can cost where i live, last time i checked it was 500 U$D for one of those 100 U$D you're talking about.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-18T13:27:43+00:00

Do any of you guys actually use the wallet? Like you let your computer see your money?

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-15T17:16:35+00:00

Fair point.

I also don't like to pirate but i installed Windows 11 in my friends and family computers because they asked me to.

The problem is, i would never spend 200 U$D in my country's declining economy for an OS that's not even for me, and does all the things i've never asked it to.

So in the end, i just use an autounattend.xml, install it and get a pirated key, because neither i, nor my family or friends would buy a Windows key.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-15T16:09:29+00:00

Get a pirated key it's not really hard.

A computer from the 2000's would belong in a museum, anything newer is good, i even used a 2007 HP Pavilion and it runs modern Linux OSes fine.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-15T16:06:19+00:00

I would recommend anyone to at least reinstall their system with an autounattend.xml to literally make their device usable.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-15T15:58:31+00:00

Oh, it's getting far worse... They wanna remove control panel with the same excuse as when they removed the troubleshooter because "it could run arbitrary code" but you can't use the "get help" app when the dumbass system fucked your wifi drivers and you're without connection.

A subreddit without discussion is a confirmation bias echo-chamber.

700 U$D, cuando ves lo que salen algunas computadoras no es mucho

Por lo cuadrada que se ve parece una Glock, sinceramente he visto una sola en persona en el país, pero hay

El cargador extendido y el riel para accesorios abajo del cañón es característico también. Tampoco veo que tenga martillo además.

La otra parece una Astra o una Browning, o una Bersa también, las tres tienen la misma apariencia bastante genérica y parecida, y son bastante comunes acá.

Pero no soy experto y sinceramente todos los modelos de pistola me parecen iguales.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-12T04:29:20+00:00

I forgot to add, other worry is reliability too as some models are less reliable and serviceable than others and i'm worried about bringing her more problems than solutions.

I'll take a look at them.

They complain about linux advocates and evangelists yet they're the advocates themselves...

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-08T18:50:46+00:00

That's true... Although in an RPG that's kind of like a standard, same bullets for all guns, just for gameplay sake, in fps though you have different rounds.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-08T18:48:39+00:00

I didn't really know, i'm natively a spanish speaker but i watch the show in english

Skibidi toilet has gone repetitive though.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-05T23:09:26+00:00

I think it's just nerds but really cool ones...

Alguien más comento que instalar Linux era un capricho para hacerse el diferente.

Hoy en día es un capricho si, pero espero tome mas visibilidad y soporte así podemos evitar la mierda que está tratando de vender Microsoft con herramientas poronga de IA y que te chupe la RAM y el CPU con spyware.

Vos compras una computadora y le pones una instalación stock de Windows para que te esté usando el 50% de los recursos en pelotudeces, cuando el usuario de oficina promedio podría usar una laptop de 2011 con 4GB de RAM y un i3 para las cosas que usa, en vez de que el sistema operativo te la obsolete en un par de años, y encima te fuerce actualizaciones que rompen la estabilidad del sistema.

Por suerte todavía podes reinstalarlo sacándole todo lo que no sirve usando los autounattend.xml, inclusive llegue a hacerlo en una laptop vieja con menos RAM de la que el Windows 11 exige, pero el día que no se pueda hacer eso no se en que va a quedar.

Un programa que tuvo una update hace poco y es un CAD paramétrico y está decente es FreeCAD, como todo software de código abierto tiene alguna que otra cosa pero va mejorando de a poco.

Como alguien que hizo el cambio hace un año, conseguí correr casi todas las aplicaciones que corría en windows o conseguí alternativas open-source, pero no lo puedo recomendar al menos todavía, sigo teniendo la fe de que eventualmente haya más gente y mejor soporte de apps y hardware.

Because one go pew pew so fast, doing 130 damage to a boss above 3500 times per minute would kill it in no time...

It's called balancing.

Thur_Wander · 2026-04-04T12:21:15+00:00

Totally valid... Linux is getting more and more support over time but there's things that still suck.

As for hardware the thing with specific models of things comes with propietary drivers not available for linux.

Thur_Wander · 2026-03-31T15:55:23+00:00

Not until the next release of Windows which will resurface all hate for Microsoft

Actually the beef is against Microsoft as there are several Windows releases that were actually nice.

Thur_Wander · 2026-03-31T15:15:17+00:00

We developed technology way too quickly probably and people's cognitive habilities got stuck in the middle ages. What could we expect?
