Check out hackaday maybe? It’s primarily hobbyist stuff, but they’ve been peppering in some original pieces about tech innovations and trends.
At the very least, nobody is trying to sell you anything.

Over the past few weeks, I realized that I wasn’t reading the news to “stay informed,” I was reading it because I was bored. As a form of entertainment, it’s pretty awful. 99% of what I read will have no direct impact on me or my family, and just sitting there and worrying about it without doing anything to fix it serves nobody.
Also, I’ve learned to be skeptical of basically every headline good or bad. I saw a headline this week about how upset Trump supporters were with his cabinet picks. Comments in the thread were talking about leopards eating faces. The article was a collection of 8 tweets from supporters showing disapproval.
This news site was just preying on people’s hopes and making a story out of absolutely nothing.
So I started focusing on some personal hobbies and have tried to re-teach myself how to focus by reading some long form fiction.
It’s far too fast to do it in software. Thus the FPGA.
But yes, it needs a very specific set of six clock signals. Not something easy to achieve with discrete logic if that’s what you’re suggesting. data sheet
Yeah the reference design uses a display driver from Epson that’s eol.
Haven’t looked at integrated display controllers. That’s certainly interesting. It’s a pretty unconventional display. Sharp memory LCD with 64 colors data sheet. I’ll have to see how configurable the integrated controllers are.
Looked at the max10. Still too pricey. Hoping for something in the <$1 range.
Some carriers specifically cater to unbanked people.
When I worked at Radio Shack back in the day, Sprint had a card you could just hand to the cashier with cash. Didn’t even need to speak any English. The card had all your details on it.
Of course they charged a $5 fee per transaction because fuck poor people.
You do understand that there are thousands of comments on these posts and they're selecting 10 or so to write an article, right? Do you think cherry picking 10 people who are upset illustrates any kind of trend? Can't you see how this article is disingenuous ?
But the sample size is 15 people. Do you trust cherry picking 15 people out of thousands a good way to judge national trends?
one Trump-supporting Truth Social user wrote in response to Trump's announcement.
but numerous commenters spoke out
One user, identified as @thompmark78,
A user with "Patriot. America First" in their bio
@Dbn281977, another user who frequently shares Trump's content
Another user, who posts in favor of Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and is identified as @Omi17,
A self-proclaimed Trump voter identified as @lutherbh1 complained about another aspect of Trump's transition.
So we're talking about maybe 15 people tops? I used to read these kinds of stories and tell myself that we were reaching the "find out" stage or whatever, but this is absolutely not a story. If it referenced any kind of poll data or wider reaching metric than reading a handful of tweets, there might be reason to hope, but as it stands, this is a nothingburger story that just gives you 15 minutes of feeling like there's justice in the world.
A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
No. All of these comics are satire. Note the lady liberty crying in the background. There’s one in every comic.
Also the “Onion Syndicate” in the top right.
I got a free iPod with my laptop with a student discount heading into freshman year of college in 2007.
I went to school in Boston, so I had the iPod engraved with “attention Boston police, this is not a bomb.”
I was so edgy
There are other powders for that
