If you buy an #HP#printer and sign up for the optional HP Plus #service, you'll get a #firmware#update that will FORCE you to #purchaseonly new HP #ink cartridges — for the life of your printer. And once that firmware update happens, there is no way to undo it.
Hi everyone :-) I'm a totally blind electronic musician looking for collaborators. I make, and would like to make with someone, #ElectronicMusic#InstrumentleGrime#Grime#Jungle#Techno#Dubstep to make my music I use #Reaper and #Hardware#Modular if you'd like to make some tunes with me, or know someone who would like to, please feel free to reach out. :-) please boost if you can everyone :-)
I am trying to organise a group of people working in academia (any career level, academic careers or technical) any that are working on #openhardware and affiliated with #uk institutions. If you are one, or if you know one, could you send me a message (or ask them to send me a message?)
The reason for the group is finding ways to work together and advocate for #openscience#hardware!
Electro-engineers of fedi, what #FOSS software can you recommend for developing #hardware?
Mainly looking for circuit design, but interested in anything.
I don't have fancy needs. I don't need circuit simulation. I DO need a proper component catalog and to be able to wire up two things directly without the thing bitching about overlaps or whatever.
Something forcing me to figure out the geometry of all my connections when defining what is connected to what is worse than useless for me.
Seit Monaten gehen laufend SanDisk-SSDs kaputt. Bei den Datenrettern von Attingo gehen jede Woche kaputte Festplatten ein. Sie haben jetzt analysiert, wo das Problem liegen könnte und die Ursache gefunden. (Foto Credit: Attingo)
Magnetic #nerdy#mask charms!!! I designed a few of these (hex, Phillips, flathead) for upcoming #hardware events. They use a 6mm Neodymium magnet on the charm and a bigger one on the inside - all carefully oriented the same way. I'd like to send some of these out and maybe turn them into a real metal product. What do you think? ⚡️

AMD is announcing the Ryzen 5 5600X3D -- except the launch is being handled entirely by Microcenter, including distribution of news, press releases, review samples, and handling of the product. The R5 5600X3D is a peculiar launch: It will be exclusive to Microcenter and, from what the retailer told us, it will be in-store only....
The Quazar Surround soundcard was my first hardware release for the SAM Coupe back in 1995, giving the SAM multichannel digital sound with surround outputs. Crazy for an #8bit machine!
The new Anniversary Edition is approaching release, with units due to ship out by the end of the month to fulfill preorders.
please dont ask me to sign up to your #discord or #telegram or such.
i won't.
i shouldn't have to.
i don't have time to hang around one channel per piece of tech in my household.
please write good #documentation. publish it on a static website. ask for help if you need help.
there is a reason good technology comes with good docs, not discord channels.
To all you #hardware and #pcb beings on Fedi: Is there something like the DB9-USB-M from FTDI that's:
a) Cheaper (the DB9-USB-M is like 20$ on Mouser/Digikey/Farnell)
b) Doesn't use Mini-USB like something from the mid 2000s?
I've looked around a bit but haven't had any luck so far, as searching for that kind of USB serial converter isn't trivial as all the terms I came up with are overloaded with other stuff.
Hello ! Je cherche une batterie pour un Lenovo Thinkpad T520 ! Je sais où en acheter une mais si t'as un laptop de ce modèle et que tu ne l'utilise plus, je veux bien la batterie si elle est encore rechargeable ! #hardware#Lenovo#Thinkpad
Maus dringend gesucht :mastodon:
Ich bin für unseren Pflegekunden auf der Suche nach dieser Logitech TrackMan Marble Maus mit USB-Anschluss - aufgrund seiner Behinderung kommt er mit dieser Maus am besten klar - leider ist diese inzwischen kaputt.
Bisherige Alternativen funktionieren nur so semi. 🤷♀️
Die bei Ebay hab ich gespeichert!
Aber vielleicht hat ja jemand von euch so eine, die nicht mehr gebraucht wird...?
Teilen wäre toll! 🔄 #Computer#PC#Gaming#pcgaming#Mouse#Laptop#hardware

I have a Dell laptop, running Ubuntu 22.04, with the following buttons around the trackpad. The trackpad works, and the three above it work (left, middle and right click as you'd expect).
I want the ones BELOW the trackpad (4 and 5) to be left and right click. Currently for some reason the left one is mapped to middle-click. How can I remap it? The other one does nothing at all.
xinput doesn't even know those buttons exists, and tells me I'm running xinput against an Xwayland server.
Can anyone have any idea about what this #mysterious#IBM#hardware can be ? I can't remember precisely how I got it, I THINK it was from a dumpster or found in a pile of some "electronic garbage". I have absolutely NO IDEA what this can be , I have a SUSPECT but I could be totally wrong, I THINK they MAY be part of an IBM 5100 but I can't be sure, if anyone knows what they could be I'd be interested to know !
'After tests showed that breathing machines made by Philips Respironics could spew dangerous particles and fumes into the lungs of patients, the company in April 2021 decided to stop shipping the devices from its factories near Pittsburgh. Philips notified the Food and Drug Administration and said it was considering a recall. But for the distributors of the devices, the company had another message: Keep selling them.'
On this week's #HacksterCafe , I interview Emma Fletcher – cofounder of Learn to Solder Kits and Evergreen Support, which helps small #hardware businesses succeed. (Plus, we went to high school together!)
