SparkFun Electronics ☛ Halloween Hacking
It started with a question about whether or not one of our SparkX guys had ever cast anything in silicone and devolved into a geek-out session of epic proportions. As well as an in-depth discussion about the nature of reality, but I digress. As we were doing a company wide clean of the office (also TRES scary) I decided that I would use up as much old stuff as I could. Enter LilyTwinkles, LEDs, old speakers, dagu motors and robotics wheels, a couple of TB6612FNG motor drivers, and a bunch of de-soldered stuff I found in the e-waste.

Ruben Schade ☛ Wouter Groeneveld on retrotech
I can’t overstate just how true this is. Get that VLB graphics card working? That might conflict with your ISA SCSI controller. Add more than 4 MiB of RAM, or some more cache? Sorry, now this BIOS setting does something funky. Add a 387 co-processor? Now this OS you had installed before doesn’t boot. It’s a balancing act figuring out what you want out of your machine, like a glorious puzzle of frustration of triumph.

I have a WASD CODE v2 tenkeyless keyboard, which has been my daily driver for work since about 2017. It’s a great keyboard… mechanically. But its control electronics are fixed-function and don’t quite work the way I want — to say nothing about fancy features like additional key layers.

Hackaday ☛ 3D Printed Hardware Sorter Keeps It Simple
If you’re like us, you’ve got at least one bin dedicated to keeping the random hardware you just can’t bear to part with. In our case it’s mostly populated with the nuts and bolts left over after finishing up a car repair, but however it gets filled, it’s a mess. The degree to which you can tolerate this mess will vary, but for [EmGi], even a moderately untidy pile of bolts was enough to spur this entirely 3D-printed mechanical bolt sorter.
