Maybe for $49 (maximum), I would buy this, but $116.96 (on sale; $129.99 if not) is too much. There is no RAM in this thing; why so expensive?!

I think everyone is afraid of them, and that will slow down the bust.

Yandex is the best search engine. Sites like Fmovies or moviesjoy include nearly everything. I couldn't find the Monty Python series, but Yandex's first results were ready to play it for me in seconds.

Also any ebook I’ve ever wanted to preview before purchasing has been available from the first results page.

Social engineering is hacking.

Social engineering the engineered social interaction is _wild_.

Someone in the comments claims to be from OpenAI and is giving some updates. This also proves that until social media puts pressure on companies, they won't care. Nothing new to see here.

Just embarrassing behavior from OpenAI. Is it laziness? Why does it take public ridicule for these companies to get a shit.

They are hype machines. They are driven by that and only care about that. That's why they cared once this went public and viral.

Terrible domain name.

If you mean Fitness alerts and others, you can simply turn off your notifications for them. It takes 10 seconds to disable all notifications for apps.

They will have to IPO before the ai hype dies.

Designing a PCB is not that complex. You can find a YouTube video, download the design software, order it from PCB Way, and get it in a few days. The problem is finding a useful product worthy PCB idea.

You make it sound like knowing electronics is an afterthought, who cares about what a capacitor, resistor, transistor is and just throw some microcontrollers on the board and the magic happens.

Sorry for the rant, I need to google what ground is.


I understand, but from a college room in 6 months, you can learn all the basic electronics and complex schematics. 2 weeks would be enough to study all of the components; there are not many. Starting with Ohm's law and logic after that would be sufficient. People are confused because of the tiny boards made by cutting-edge companies that look like magic.

Breadboard kits are $30~. I designed many ESP boards; it is well documented, and if I mess up something, asking Claude or ChatGPT helps because the documentation is very thorough

It boils down to chips and MOSFETs at the end. Swapping a chip on a premade design with your own idea, especially in the ESP era, is not that difficult, with AI and software testing before sending it to PCBWay.

An ESP32 can nearly meet all the computational needs of a small project, such as a keyboard. You can come up with your own version in a few days, literally. WiFi, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), RAM, disk space- all in one chip. The rest is Python (yes, Python if you don't want to learn anything else). You can build a custom board with what you need; there are countless ESP projects out there that come with board design already. Once you feel comfortable, you can switch to a more specialized chip for a specific purpose.


Its been on my todo list for like 4 years and whenever I try I bounce off pretty hard. That said get a bit closer each time.

KiCAD is pretty good.

BS Title. 30 pages of summary is not all human cooking.
