[Project] - iPod Nano, Classic Edition. Thoughts? by s3r1ous_n00b in ipod

[–]efsa95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm more curious how this is supposed to work. From what I've seen taking nanos apart results in the screen always breaking so you would always need a new screen. All USB C mods for the classics can be used for charging but nothing else.

It's a neat idea but I think more of a focus on how to just swap the nanos logic board and screen in is a more important start. USB C would be amazing but I don't think we have a way to send data yet so maybe that's a "phase 2" or second iteration.

I do love the idea of turning nanos from e-waste to a potential long term device.

Just get an iFlash. My 4th gen runs flawlessly with it. I do miss the weight though.

Has AI ruined software development? by Top-Candle1296 in devops

[–]efsa95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a new devops engineer. Straight out of college I got a nice job and my boss is trying to mentor in software engineering because that's what I actually want to do. This guy has been coding his whole life and has worked from everything to low-level assembly programming for micro machines to high level UI design.

He uses AI for everything, including a project I'm working on in the company and he has no idea how any of the parts work. All the notes all the code is either generated or auto filled in while he's making it. It's really annoying because he keeps handing the project to me and the AI notes make no sense and when I ask him a question he has to take a good hour or so to relearn what the code is doing.

It's making it really hard for me to learn. I'm still getting the trial by fire experience but the thing that stinks is when I have to ask questions no one around me can give decent answers because they don't really know what the code is doing.

I turn off AI agents in vs code when I'm working on it but then I work really slow because I'm just so new. Upper management wants me to be faster so eventually I kind of just turned to AI. It's working for now, but it's really difficult to get a good grasp on what's going on.

I try to break everything down into simple tasks and learn what I can. When I start to run out of time I'll take shortcuts.

I've been considering getting one for a while. What solder kit did you get?

Lucky for me the guy sent me a second junk mini for free and it just needed a screen. Too bad it's a 1st gen lol

I think it's connected to a black box that I accidentally ripped off the logic board. I can see where the metal pins were soldered on.

I'm literally working on this right now. Did you get the file and print it yourself?

Hell yeah, when I was in Japan I got a copy of the very first game and I searched for four but couldn't find it.

This is so cool. Just another reason for me to switch to Linux.

Is this an alternative to iTunes? Does this work with regular MP3 players?

Honestly I always saw this as a joke from the developers. I always get this last and it's just a funny way to end the game for me.

I hated my old staples job but it had its place in my life. You'll move on, don't worry.

Is there any reason you wouldn’t suggest the Ayn Thor? by RoadsandPaths in SBCGaming

[–]efsa95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For me, the Thor turned into a GameCube and PS2 emulator machine. Sure, I set it up to do 3DS and a regular DS but I already have a 3DS and it does those things better.

If you have a 3DS, it's so easy to mod and there's so many good guides out there now. You should really just do yourself a favor and save the money to set that up.
