I’ve been tinkering with arduino-like platforms recently (more on the midi synth soon) and got the idea to make a small message board to leave notes to my girlfriend. This is how I ended up with a simulator, an integration with a demoscene tracker, custom tools to make palette cycling effects, having to learn CAD to…
Close to a year ago, I stumbled upon the Kekz Headphones, which seemed like an interesting approach on the whole digital audio device space. They claimed to work without any internet connection and all of the content already on the headphones itself. They are On-Ear Headphones, which work by placing a small chip (I…
This post is not about research or developing software for robots. Instead it is some tips on how to go about building robots for mass deployment and how to leverage those deployed robots for improving your product.
We recently received an attitude indicator for the F-4 fighter plane, an instrument that uses a rotating ball to show the aircraft's orienta...
With separate plastic, metal, paper, and glass recycling, composting, and pick up of all the rest, knowing which days to put out which bins ...
Our AI method has accelerated and optimized chip design, and its superhuman chip layouts are used in hardware around the world. AlphaChip was one of the first reinforcement learning approaches used to solve a real-world engineering problem. It generates superhuman or comparable chip layouts in hours, rather than weeks…
Taking a good look around (both inside and out) of my brand new MEGA65 computer system from Trenz Electronic GmbH.
I want to say thank you to all the people who sent condolences following last week’s post, especially those who shared their own stories of loss.

This post has a little bit of everything. Hardware diagnostics, some suspiciously similar datasheets from two separate Taiwan chip manufacturers, and firmware reverse engineering. Read on if that sounds like fun!
I've been using a Framework 13 laptop as my main/only computer for a little over 18 months now.
An unexpected journey for AT&T with it's own low power processor
Most speakers emit sound in all directions because they are relatively small compared to the wavelength. Audible sounds have wavelengths of up to several meters, so an acoustically "large" speaker might not even fit in your house.
Resistor-based dividers, linear regulators, buck converters, and other ways to adjust voltages.
Apple today introduced iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, featuring Apple Intelligence and innovative pro camera features.
Apple unveiled Apple Watch Series 10, featuring a refined design and bringing new capabilities to the world’s most popular watch.
Back in 2008, I wrote some software for fun to generate various optimized walking mechanisms. And when I also picked up some electronics and wood working skills in more recent years, I was able to turn one of these mechanisms into an actual wireless walking wooden coffee table: the Carpentopod. This post briefly…
A future proof laptop with a retro futuristic aesthetic: This is MNT Reform Next.
