It's using the MoBro software made by ModBro. The theme came with it too, and looks really cool. (I know my CPU temp is high, it was on purpose so I could see more green bar.) I'll be upgrading this to a 7" Waveshare screen in the future when I get working again, but it works for now.

Here's my development workstation. It's a cheap HP laptop I got from Walmart last Black Friday in 2019, and two SSDs over USB. The laptops specs are modified from the original, as I've done some upgrades: Ryzen 3200U dual-core CPU Radeon Vega 3 graphics, taking 2GB of my system RAM for...

So I went to Home Depot and Ikea yesterday and got everything I needed to make some indirect LED lighting for under $50. Just an LED strip of "warm white" LEDs, some double-sided clear Gorilla tape, and some cheap crown moulding. Used a wood saw to manually cut the ends at a perfect 45° angle...

My girlfriend was buying parts for me to build her a new gaming PC, and she was kind enough to give me a case and more RAM as a 'thank you'. So here's my new gaming PC, fleshed out in RGB. I also added a USB 3.0 hub on the back, since the case window faces me and ports on the front and back are...

I'm thinking of flashing them and selling them for $20 USD each, especially to online gaming communities. Minecraft, Warcraft, Team Fortress 2, etc all have servers where if you stand around too long, you get kicked off the server. Well this device fixes that. Let's say you're balls deep into a...

I did the custom joycons and pro controller mods myself. The morning motor is portable and powered by USB. Makes for a sweet setup that collapses down into a backpack and sets up quickly for motel stays.
So my stupid ass got a little too rough with a razor blade, and not only lifted the entire solder pad of the (green) Data+ line, but peeled the trace back too. And I can't confirm any test points for me to solder to via Google or YouTube. The data lines just sort of, stop. And they don't have...

My brother just died today in a fatal car accident on his way to work. It's suspected that he had a seizure, and floored the gas pedal. He ended up taking out a power pole with just his Acura Integra. My family is suffering this great loss very unexpectedly. He left behind a wife, and a 13 year...

In April of 2019, I lost my grandmother to cancer. She was in remission, but slipped and fell down her stairs and suffered a pretty bad head injury. She was put into a medically induced coma to hopefully have her body focus on healing, but instead, the cancer took her life just two short days...

It turned out really well! I'm going to an anime convention on the 15th called Kumoricon, held in Portland, Oregon. (I designed it from scratch in Photoshop, printed it at Walmart's photo center, and glued it to foam board) Front side: Back side:

Got a jaw infection, nothing major. I'll get some meds and be sent on my way.

As a 26 year veteran of this game, I enjoyed this new remake very much. Many new things make it still feel like a good refresher, like the new intuitive controls and additional Secret Seashells required for the Level 2 sword. (And for anybody wondering, yes... The Color dungeon is present and...

I've never owned one before. I'm looking forward to setting it up this weekend. I still need to go to Fry's and pick up some basic filaments, but I'm excited to get started. I've been educating myself thanks to various Facebook groups, YouTube videos, and cheap/free upgrades I can do to this...

She's got cysts on her right ovary and in her uterus, so they're taking everything but her left ovary (for hormonal reasons). Prayers are bullshit, so I just have to wait and see how it goes. :/

I have the power consumption under 1 amp, using the LCD set to 30% brightness and the Raspberry Pi 3 A+ underclocked to 800MHz. I disabled the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and audio chip since they aren't needed.

I redesigned my "Inkling Card" Photoshop template. I resized everything in such a way, anyone can just paste a screenshot of their Inkling or Octoling as a background layer, center it, and type in their friend-code information. Feel free to edit it to your liking, as everything is on it's own...

I got the control panel hinged and done, the screen mounted, the speakers and amp mounted and wired up, and all the holes drilled that I need. Next is sanding and paint.
It seems a bit high to me, and I don't have anything running like a VPN or torrent client.
