6·16 days agoOh yeah eh, thats just what we want to do; escalate violence with a country with a runaway military budget that has lost its grip and is just itching for a reason to invade us. Good plan bud.
I’d rather sit here, smoke my legal weed, drink my real beer and let you guys burn down your own white house.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•I mounted e-bike lights to my non-ebike with a 3D printed USB battery box and rear light mountEnglish
3·18 days agoHaving a single battery and integrated running lights that are always present is convenient compared to having discrete lights on the frame that need seperate charging/replacement and need to be brought with you and stowed when not in use. At least that’s been my experience. Less to charge, less to remember to bring.

2·18 days agoNicely done! I do something like this on my bike too, except it’s just strips of neopixel RGB LEDs on the frame held in place with zip ties driven by a pi pico. As a result I can program different light modes (flash, solid, fade, rainbow party mode, fake police lights etc etc etc) and even turn signals.
Having a single battery means less to charge/replace. It all runs off a USB battery bank and lasts days. My lights also cannot be removed or stolen easily and even if you do what’s the point it’s just a strip of LEDs, it’s all easily replaced even if they do. Having integrated bike lights seems more convenient for me and I don’t have to worry about forgetting my lights when I go out after dark.
OMG this walkthrough answers so many of my questions. No wonder I get destroyed by this game I’ve been making practially all the decisions wrongs hahaha.
I love this game, only discovered it in the early 2000’s and played it on emulator. The genesis version is my favourite and its very deep and complex. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten very far with it, but I love the concept.

Pebble - rePebble@discuss.online•Pebble's Founder Is Pushing the Anti-Apple Watch, and He Doesn't Need You to CareEnglish
4·2 months agoI love my time 2 but it has a pretty serious design flaw; the glass screen has an exposed edge. A minor scrape on anything of sufficient hardness will chip the edge and in my case it has.
I can deal with scratches but these chips are so distracting. I’m very sad this flaw was not fixed before production as it’s a simple fix. I wasn’t convinced it would be a problem but I was wrong it chips very easily and now I have to live with it
I hope the next run of watches raises the bezel so it can protect the glass edge.
The Wii.
It is such an underpowered console, with only a handful of must have titles if that.
But man those titles hold up. Even my little gen alphers love it and get into it. Its mostly just a wii sports machine but its still going strong even in this era of mobile and AAA gaming.
I have a bunch of old consoles but the Wii is the only one that gets regular play without needing convincing.

11·3 months agoRight there with you bud but I dunno, its not looking good!

Its hard not to be smug as a lowly ender 3 peasant to have everything I was worried about Bambu doing slowly coming true.
I mean… I wish my printer worked as well as all my Bambu friends, but this helps a little… this helps…

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•There are plans for bolder Star Trek video gamesEnglish
7·3 months agoAction Star Trek games are fun, let’s be honest. Most of us enjoyed Elite Force and that certainly had some scifi horror elements, maybe without going too hard. I hope this game is good and wish them well.
But personally I keep telling myself the perfect Star Trek game is an away mission based walking/tricorder simulator with LA Noire style interactions with characters and Myst-ish styled puzzles. Maybe something closer to the new Indiana Jones game but in spaaaace.
I keep waiting to see that game. I have no idea if it would work though. I thought Resurgence came close, but it definitely wasn’t perfect.

1·3 months agoGood question I can’t really speak to that I don’t typically respond from my wrist so I’m not even sure what it offers in way of features there. Sorry.

3·3 months agoI feel you on the smart gadgets thing. After the fall of pebble I swore off smart stuff and was into Casio and simpler amazefit neo type stuff for a while. Then I fell into casio PCB conversions and before I knew it I was back at basically smart watches again like the pinetime.
When I saw pebble was back I had to get it. I pulled my old pebble time out and started daily driving it.
The time 2 builds on the existing pebble vibe but just sort of smoothes a lot of edges, improves quality of life and feels like a solid upgrade. It’s early days but I kind of love it.
Pros
- The screen is great. Maaaaybe a tiny bit less legible than the time screen, but easy to read in most light and in sunlight it’s stunningly crisp. Not amazing color reproduction but eh, it’s epaper.
- the buttons are this nice knurled metal and they click satisfyingly. An improvement over my old time’s mushy buttons.
- It looks pretty slick imo I love how it looks on the wrist.
- should you want them there is a decent hobbyist level of apps and watchfaces available for all sorts of things. You could also easily make your own if so I inclined.
- there’s lots of simple customizations that feel very neighborly for example letting you flip the screen if you like the buttons on the other side for wearing on your right wrist.
- it just has that fun lo-fi feel that is kind of missing these days.
Cons
- I haven’t completely discharged the battery yet, but at current rate I don’t see the endurance target being realistic. I think theres optimizations like turning off heartrate monitor etc. Maybe we’ll get there with updates.
- while cool the backlight is not exceptionally bright. It’s not dim, but I could have used a bit more juice personally.
- there are some minor bugs. Backlight will stop sometimes while navigating the menu. Not ideal in the dark. Again maybe this will be fixed.
Tl;Dr
Yeah I recommend it if you’re like me and like the pebble philosophy and are willing to accept some deficiencies. If you want a polished finished product I’m not sure it’s there yet. It’s a nice watch in general though. Even without notifications it offers a lot of unique timekeeping functions.
