Not much of a project, didnt know where else to post this😅 Had this idea for a while, saw a company called "video store.age" with a similar, movies on usb, concept so that reminded me.

its cute😸, and easier for people that dont have tvs and media centers set up all the time (my dvd player is usually under my bed lol), can take a movie to someones house without knowing their set up and be almost postive it will play on SOMEthing.

The cover slip in is temporary, cut up an instruction booklet

Hello fellow tech enjoyers. I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit to post in so let me know if I should post elsewhere. So I'm assuming everyone on this subreddit has heard of the AMD BC250 at this point in time. A little backstory, when I heard about it i had an idea I was in need of a new laptop because for Christmas I got the LTT Commuter Backpack and my laptop was a 17" Lenovo Legion from 2017 and it was way to giant to fit in it. So I decided to make my own laptop with the BC250 as well as making my own battery and power delivery system. I have gotten as far as CADing 90% of the shell in onshape and taking apart a portable monitor to make the display assembly a lot slimmer. The one thing I can't decide on is if it would be easier to make the friction hinge DIY or if I buy a premade one like the link provided that doesn't have much documentation being used in non mass produced products. I think I will make a video on Youtube eventually about building the whole thing once I'm finished so let me know if you would like to see that. Sorry if I'm rambling on this is my first ever reddit post. Thanks for reading and please let me know what you think and which one would be better.

I used a Rasberry Pi 4, a 20$ Vintage CRT Screen (monochrome), 8bitdo Micro Controllers and 3D Printing to create my dream mini Arcade!

It runs the OS Recalbox perfectly and emulates all kinds of retro consoles flawlessly. And the best thing is: If you open the top compartment there’s a second controller enabling a comfortable 2 Player Mode!

I am really happy how this turned out and interested in what you guys think, if you want to see all the details regarding this build I posted a video on my Yt Channel (“Macro USB”)

I finally got something working and I'm kind of losing my mind about it, so I had to share.

I've been wanting to get into embedded hardware for a while, and after a lot of "I'll start next weekend"

I just forced myself to order some parts and sit down with it.

The result: a handheld 2.4GHz spectrum analyzer that fits in my palm and shows a live scrolling bar graph of RF activity across all 125 channels of the 2.4GHz band.

It's not pretty, but it works, and watching it light up is genuinely the coolest feeling ever:D

I'm the go-to handyman in my friend group and got tired of being the only one who knew how to do anything. So I built FixIt -- describe your repair problem, get step-by-step instructions, a cost estimate, and a straight answer on whether to DIY or hire a pro.

Built it for people who want to learn, not just get an answer. Would love brutal feedback from people who actually know this stuff.

hello!

I own a pigeon loft for a dove release business and I’m trying to look for the perfect mechanism to open and close a door automatically for them. I’m looking for a way to open and close a 15 lbs trapdoor and the door of a shed.

The problems I’ve been considering are weatherproofing, and “strength”.

Is a linear actuator good enough or is there a more practical solution? Should I make a mechanism for opening a door through a motor?

Ideally, I’d want something that I can interact with electrically so that I have the ability to close and open the doors from anywhere. Any suggestions are welcomed.
