  1. External HDD (Toshiba DTB440 4 TB) teardown: The enclosure does not contain an ordinary internal drive plus an adapter: the USB connector is on the PCB of the drive itself. The drive itself is 103 mm long (including the protruding connector), 69 mm wide and 14 mm thick (quite a lot).

  2. #teardown einer meiner Powerbanks. Um das Gehäuse unfallfrei zu öffnen muss man zuerst das geklebte Solarpanel vorsichtig lösen und entfernen, darunter sind dann vier Schrauben.

    Einer der beiden parallelgeschalteten #LiPo-Akkus ist schon arg aufgebläht. In meinen Augen fehlt hier eine Ladereglung für die beiden Akkus.
    Mal schauen ob ich da günstig neue Akkus bekomme, evtl direkt mit einem #BMS

  3. Sharp EL-371H calculator teardown. Runs at 1.5 volts. The QFP48 chip has no text other than "9B JAPAN 9". The display has eight 7-segment digits plus some symbols and probably dots - around 67 elements total. 27 traces go to the display. Keypad has 24 buttons. (Previous owner's name redacted.)

  4. Does anyone on Fedi happen to have an old Zalman FG-1000 FPSgun mouse they'd be willing to take apart? I'd really like to know what sensor was in the mouse, and all of the ones I had are still on the other side of the Atlantic.

  9. A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

       Is it unreasonable, then, to expect that some man possessed of the loftiest genius, coupled with ambition sufficient to push it to its utmost stretch, will at some time spring up among us? And when such an one does, it will require the people to be united with each other, attached to the government and laws, and generally intelligent, to successfully frustrate his designs.
       Distinction will be his paramount object, and although he would as willingly, perhaps more so, acquire it by doing good as harm, yet, that opportunity being past, and nothing left to be done in the way of building up, he would set boldly to the task of pulling down.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1838-01-27), “The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions,” Young Men’s Lyceum, Springfield, Illinois

  12. Our latest teardown looks at yet another set of disposable earbuds. The difference this time: the manufacturer claims the batteries are serviceable even though they’re a carbon copy of their own last gen buds with non-serviceable batteries.

  13. Driven by pure curiosity, I decided to buy the cheapest gigabit switch from Grandstream. For a truly small amount of money, I became the owner of the GWN7700 model, which features five Ethernet ports. I was intrigued by the question of what chip is inside... I wondered if Grandstream uses some cheap Chinese-made solution in their budget models. The manufacturer doesn't boast about what solution they use in the specifications ;/

  14. #Teardown-Time! Manche Hersteller sind ein Mysterium. Muss mein Ethernet über Koax umgestalten, und bin auf "Digital Devices EOC 2000" gestoßen. G.hn Wave2 mit angebenen 2 Gbit brutto - einbaubar in die üblichen Gerätedosen, quasi winzig.

    Die Geräte laufen gut und haben naturgemäß mein Interesse geweckt, weswegen ich weiter recherchiert habe. Im Thread Bilder davon und was ich über das Mysterium herausfinden konnte...

  17. This game is really interesting. I can highly recommend it if you like problem solving in your own way.

    You get the mission to steal something (often multiple things) but the catch is, after you steal the first thing, a timer starts*.

    So you have to go through the level and find the fastest route to steal everything and get away safely. The second catch? Everything is destroyable. So you can make your way much shorter by teardown some walls with tools you have on you, vehicles that stand around or fire. The fire simulation is impressive by itself.

    I will definitely play more of this. Every new level is more and more interesting.

    *Some items aren't secured but you have to be tactical to get them first

  18. Completely forgot #Teardown. I followed the development from pretty much the first day back then on Xitter.

    As it's in #PSPlusExtra now I just saw it in my library. The first level was already pretty nice. All that freedom!

    My child woke up after I finished the first level, but I'll definitely play it more later.

  19. [⤴️ https://octospacc.altervista.org/2024/01/11/acerare-il-famiclone-pt-1]

    Giusto per #trivia, il mio #famiclone è questo, comunque: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005005829526748.html… in pratica una cover per #smartphone, #quirky ikr? Lo comprai quando usavo ancora il Huawei come #telefono giornaliero, dopo aver bene scommesso che il modello della #cover per iPhone 7 sarebbe calzato decentemente. L’#hardware che ha dentro sembra essere tutto sommato più vicino a quello di altre #console tipo quel mini arcade dell’altro giorno, che a robe come il #Sup (c’è in comune la memoria più piccola, la mancanza di AV out e del tasto Select, e il fatto che il volume sia regolabile a schifo con soli 3 livelli anziché con una rotellina). Non mi sembra di aver trovato altri #teardown di #famicloni così (devo cercare meglio anche per modelli simili), ma il mini arcade come quello #smontato da #EEVBlog ha una #memoria #Winbond: https://www.eevblog.com/2019/06/28/mini-arcade-game-console-repair-oopsie/. 🧭️

    Certe immagini sulle inserzioni cinesi fanno morire…

    Stamattina, con un po’ di #sofferenza, ho provato a #saldare dei fili sugli 8 #piedini del mio piccolissimo chip #flash, e ce l’ho addirittura fatta (contro le mie aspettative). Fatto questo, non avendo #informazioni precise, ho quindi varie strade da poter percorrere, e per adesso ho provato quella dell’interfaccia #SDcard (anche perché il fatto dell’ESP di ieri mi rallenterebbe sulle altre vie), ossia: se, puta caso, sto coso dovesse funzionare come altre memorie #flash #SPI, allora dovrebbe poter essere riconosciuto da lettori di #schede. Allora, non senza difficoltà, sacrifico un #adattatore SD-microSD per attaccare dei #fili pure a quello, in modo da poterlo collegare da un lato al PC e dall’altro al #chip. 🕷️

    Se non si capisce nulla, è normale.

    Ed è proprio qui che per ora temo di dovermi fermare… purtroppo, questa strategia non è sembrata funzionare. Ho controllato varie volte che i #collegamenti funzionassero elettricamente, e che io stessi collegando tutto per bene secondo il #pinout dello standard #SD e le mie supposizioni sul possibile pinout del chip innominato, ma, quando il collegamento del lettore via USB rimaneva stabile, comunque Linux non riusciva ad accedere all’unità, facendo tirare sia a cat che dd un errore “medium not found” (praticamente come quando si collega il lettore senza niente dentro). Quindi non so. A questo punto potrebbe essere possibilmente proficuo fare #debugging tramite #GPIO per vedere cosa si riesce a cavare da questa storia… se mi verrà voglia lo farò, non so quando. 😴️
