Just a thought about #audacity 's new logo. The pink logo is the new logo, and the blue logos are some adjustments (top one is just a spitball idea)

The monitor is broken but not so much so it's completely unusable? Somehow?

It was an absolute chore to set it up but I think I got the setup nailed down quite well.
A monitor, a Bluetooth speaker from Bose, an Android TV box, a USB stick, a Lego Viking ship model, a dwarf figurine, and a yellow picture frame are in this image. The monitor is showing a music player app called Musicolet, which is installed on the Android TV box. Five songs are shown, first song having a character encoding problem, and the rest being "We Drink Your Blood" by Powerwolf, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" by Sabaton, "Nightcrawler" by Powerwolf, and "Tell Me You Know" by Good Kid.

Guess who got scammed! None of those chips are genuine. All of them have been "black-topped" -- meaning someone sanded the original markings off, repainted the top with paint, then re-marked the chip with laser.

Remaking a DI/interface box for my guitar so I can record its output without blowing up my sound card. The silver box is which will be used to house the circuit and stuff.

Finally finished making use of a spare TV board by... buying a brand new TV board. Yeah, the point is moot now. Anyway, if you see flickers while playing a video, try adjusting LVDS SSC value in the factory menu (Menu + 1147). Works on SK105A.03 boards.

One thing led to another and here I am, making a program for my receipt printer.
A receipt printer and a printout is shown. The printed paper has values of the components from the data file.

Behold, an USB to UART to USB adapter! What's it used for? You'll see it Soon™️
Picture shows a cable with two USB plugs at both ends, with one side being blue and the other side being molded out of hot glue and containing a green circuit board inside.

All of these need to be stripped of paint and repainted because it has failed to cure properly. It's sad.

Finally got this thing working. This uses a converted playlist file from Musicolet and shows it in a sharable format. All running on a browser*!

Guess who forgot to UNPOPULATE the BOM before sending it to a prototype run, ruining them until the chips are taken out? 🙃
They were for in-house pick-and-place machine demo, and they should be left empty...
Two circuit boards are shown, with the "UX" positions filled, which shouldn't be filled.

Wanna see some things I totally didn't neglect to do anything with? Well, here they are! I really should do something with them. I spent quite a bit of money on those in 2019! To see what they are, see alt text.
A circuit board with detailed description about component values. It says "Torbjörn V1" at the top corner, and "Special Edition" at the opposite corner, as if it was intended for giving it away to people. A small text describes its actual purpose - A battery capacity tester. A large lion insignia from the game "Overwatch" is shown on this circuit board. A large text that says "Reinhardt" is also on the board, with a note about what not to do with the components and the parts of the case. A small text says "Original by danyk.cz", implying that it is not an original design by the maker. Four decorations depicting characters from a game Overwatch are shown, made out of circuit board. Certain parts of the board are translucent, such as the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin held by the character named Baptiste, in the bottom right corner. The backside of the boards is not populated fully, and there are texts of in-universe characters and references adorning the board. Also, there are logo images from the game company Blizzard Entertainment with a prohibitory symbol added on top of it.

Late night (overnight) rapid development since the router crashed multiple times. This catches if it has crashed and resets it.
An ESP8266 module, specifically ESP-12F type, is attached to a circuit board. A bunch of wires come out of the module and connect to the circuit board near it. Many of the components are removed. A blue box, called relay, is on the board, as well as a barrel jack socket for power adapters, voltage regulator board, a small module, a set of screw terminals, and one blue LED. Blue wires and one red wire connect to various points of the circuit board, and many of the previously populated components are removed. A sensor board sticks out of the button hole, barrel jack connector and a barrel jack itself is visible. The unit previously used for controlling electronics with Wi-Fi, which was a fake Sonoff brand product, has been rebranded as "rebooter."

A "simple" battery charger. This still has some issues with "borderline" batteries and slightly discharged alkaline batteries, but they do work... Somewhat. But even if some failure happens, its maximum charging current is 25mA.
Two proper rechargeable batteries, one being Panasonic Eneloop, and the other being IKEA Ladda, are inserted into the charger's battery holder. Both are being charged, as indicated by the screen. The picture shows a non-rechargeable battery being inserted into the holder. The charger indicates that it has been overcharged, while it should've displayed the "wrong battery" error. The charger indicates that both slots are empty. One of the battery holders is occupied with an IKEA Ladda battery, and the charger shows that it is being charged.

#DeepRockGalactic has changed a lot over the years! Take a look at the screenshots I took over the years, which I recovered off the Ansel folder.
A screenshot from the game Deep Rock Galactic in 2019. A character class called "Driller" stands in the scene, in front of the in-game place called The Abyss Bar. A screenshot from the game Deep Rock Galactic in December 2020. Candles and gift boxes adorn the scene and the Driller character is seen off to the left side, wearing a bulky armor. The snow falls near the sign that says "The Abyss Bar." A screenshot from the game Deep Rock Galactic taken at Lunar New Year 2022. Red paper lanterns and streamers as well as banners decorate the in-game area known as "The Abyss Bar." A screenshot from the game Deep Rock Galactic taken during the Oktoberfest season event in 2023. Sunflowers, dried hay bales, inflatable sausages, beer keg, colored streamers and hanging decorations (not to mention various pretzels) are seen in the picture of the in-game area called "The Abyss Bar."

This is, in fact, "the more." I've done it! RP2040 based version of the board, which also had a USB hub built in! Need to remake the back graphic, but heh, it's going great!
The picture shows a conplex circuit board with 4 USB C ports, and two prominent integrated circuits on it. A text, "Lokey", "To Valhalla, don!" And "Fruity Edition - RP2040 Edition" is written on the board alongside the original description from the ATMEGA32U4 based older version. All components are on this side instead of being spread to various places. This picture shows that the backside of the circuit board is nearly empty, apart from two graphics depicting the "Ragnarock" logo and the Viking character inside the game. Some holes and patterned wires on the circuit board are visible.

More to come, hopefully!
Backside of the circuit board, which has components and two graphics, one being the logo for a VR game "Ragnaröck", and another being the character from that game. The front side of the circuit board, with the text "Lokey" (the name of the circuit board), and "To Valhalla, don!" written on it. There is a character called Donko wearing a Viking helmet, and there is a warning about connecting two USB cables together. There are 4 lights about layer or drums status, and a description about what this board is for. Each socket is labeled from left to right.
