I want your attention in my mouth

Short version is that most of these are based on the ESP32 microcontroller. They allow you to upload code of any sort and have it make use of the hardware available. They also allow you to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allowing you to do all sorts of unique IoT stuff without needing to find a random company to make it for you and have access to your network.
As a current example, I’m planning combining the smallest one and the digit display to connect to the ODB port on my car and show my gas mileage, digital speed, etc since I have an older car.
Plus they’re just neat!
I’m very jack-of-all-trades. This is just one of many collections for different hobbies.
You know, if I’m being completely honest, I’ve struggled to find something useful for it. It’s incredibly niche. I mostly collect these cause I think they’re neat, and try to find uses for them later.
M5 Stack microcontrollers mostly. They can be programmed to do all sorts of things, and almost every device here can connect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Not a series, but the movie Your Name is one of my favorite stories ever.
For me:
- Set goals
- Accomplish those goals
That’s what gives me the best feedback. The more realistic goals I set and the more often I accomplish them, the better I feel. Bonus points for setting “due dates” for bigger goals and seeing if you can meet your own deadline.
I once went to a FourLoko sponsored block party that you could attend for free. They were also handing out free FourLoko to all attendants. I chose not to have any, but that was one of the most insane crowds I have ever been in.
That’s about the same model as I have (I’m using a slightly older X260) and Blender works plenty fine, even on decently demanding stuff. An important note is to make sure to reduce the default tile size to something like 256 if you’re using Cycles for rendering to prevent memory issues. Other than that, I’ve had no issues with modeling or Eevee rendering.
Assuming it allows for it, I recommend upgrading your RAM to 16GB. 8 is fine for if you’re just working in Blender, but once you’re following a tutorial and are doing some browsing while listening to a YouTube video in the background, things can start to slow down.
Wouldn’t most need to be over 50%?
