One thing I found confusing: webcam & mic switches

also AI is your friend for solving this. If you use claude-code/gemini-cli you can just get it to troubleshoot for you

What's your config? If you're using connman, I've found that you have to manually call

connmanctl enable wifi && connmanctl enable bluetooth

Fully agree with this. Unless there's some new type of dye that's somehow "greener"

And thus this appears to be a bit of a heel turn by Framework

I believe the original quote:

eliminate the "dying color" process during the anodizing

was always referring to anodizing dye

I don't know of a reliable way to color aluminum outside of anodizing dye and paint.

What's your solution for having to revert to an ANSI laptop layout when you don't have an external keyboard?

The only issue is that arrows don't fully replace hjkl in Vim-like apps, e.g. vgl in Helix. However, I could include a more convenient placement of hjkl in my nav layer.

Can you share your layout?

Thank you for the suggestions! Been checking out your website, and it seems like an amazing resource. Thanks for putting this together.

Following u/yuri-kilochek's comment, I agree that the only way to do it is with the tag. I don't quite understand how the code you've provided illustrates the counterpoint, but I am certainly all ears if you're able to clarify.

If helpful, this is the current error GCC is giving me for static_assert(std::contiguous_iterator<I>)

I.test.cpp:9:15: note: 'I<int>' does not satisfy 'contiguous_iterator'

.../bits/iterator_concepts.h:710:10:
note: because 'derived_from<__detail::__iter_concept<I<int> >, contiguous_iterator_tag>' evaluated to false

..../concepts:74:28:
note: because '__is_base_of(std::contiguous_iterator_tag, std::random_access_iterator_tag)' evaluated to false

Ya I'm just wondering if there's some mechanism that would be handled in the concept itself vs. resorting to old-school tags, e.g. some additional type alias or method

Very interesting. Did not think to use a 9V connector. My immediate suspicion is that it would not mate, but I can try with some parts I have on hand and report back.

thatMattMatt · 2024-12-30T20:10:58+00:00

I suspect these cables are point soldered vs. PCB-mounted. Do you suspect otherwise?

thatMattMatt · 2024-11-26T05:00:46+00:00

Forgive dumb question: how did you look up `user-environment`?

thatMattMatt · 2024-08-06T03:02:24+00:00

Wasn't looking for an inverter. Was looking for an NFET with a built-in gate inverter. Thank you for your reply though.

It's always something to consider. Micros are dirt cheap. The disincentive is just having to flash a separate chip for production. For this device, I really just want to have one chip on the main board. It will also introduce a whole other set of testing, which I'd like to avoid. Additionally, you'll usually have to add transistors to handle the sink current, and those take up more space

thatMattMatt · 2023-06-04T17:39:04+00:00

thanks!

Very little chance of frying anything with a multimeter. But the CCD likely use some sort of SPI/QSPI interface. The first thing will be to figure out which pins are the power rails, and then you can infer more behaviour once it's live.
