1·3 days agoI’m sure coffee enthusiasts would accuse me of not liking the taste of coffee either lmao, I drink my espresso in a ratio of ~30% espresso 70% half and half. I do like the taste of coffee but especially so in combination with lots of cream and sugar, or ice cream. I’m very sensitive to caffeine though and even with decaf I can feel the remaining few percent of caffeine which still ruins my sleep if I have it after noon and it still makes me a tad bit jittery. Nowhere near as bad as full caf though.

9·3 days agoI had similar effects from adderall, which is similar to coffee for me (jitters, feeling wired, sweating / clammy). I drink decaf a lot more to avoid that, and switching from Adderall to concerta (now I’m on 36mg concerta) which also helped eliminate jittery side effects. If it’s not caffeine withdrawal, maybe trying a different add medication is a good path. I would ask your doctor about adjusting dosage or trying a different option, since everyone’s a little different and what works for me seems to not be working for you 😅

1·9 days agoDamn, about $70 + shipping at jlcpcb with assembly (minus a couple additional components I didn’t bother to match). Probably $100 for 5 boards. My laser sessions are $300 and it takes a bunch. I’m really tempted to order this.

4·10 days agoI have a very similar experience, I still use Spotify and YT to discover new music, but I then torrent it (or find it on soulseek) to keep my jellyfin collection growing. I also buy off bandcamp since that’s pretty convenient to fill in my favorite albums.

51·13 days agoGotcha, I meant it more as a rhetorical question meant to point out that no tablet has 16GB of vram, so it kinda misses my point to talk about ones with 16GB combined ram.

161·13 days agoI mean that is true, but still nowhere near the same thing as 16GB ram and 16GB dedicated vram. This thing has a 9070xt and a 600W PSU, so the other commenters claim that they have a higher specced tablet is just kind of absurd, especially since I don’t believe there’s a tablet in existence with discrete graphics. And even if it did, beating a recent gen card like a 9070 would be a really tall order.

1·14 days agoHmm maybe I’m just lucky but I never had issues with the screen falling out unless I misaligned the adhesive or didn’t clean the edge enough beforehand. I use the black plastic piece in the ifixit kit that’s shaped like a flat head screwdriver to scrape the inside edge clean of goo.

1·15 days agoI had to refurbish mine a few times, the power button wore enough that it fell out, a couple screen replacements, and a few battery replacements. It’s not too bad to repair as long as you don’t carelessly put generic aftermarket battery adhesive over the fingerprint ribbon cable 😳 I have a bucket of pixel 5 parts at this point.

9·16 days agoI guess I’m running my pixel 5 into the ground then… Tbh I miss my 5 inch pixel 2. That felt ideal to me.



This is where I got it down to, mainly optimizing for paying for single sided assembly because I don’t like surface mount soldering:
Each extended component incurs a $3 fee when doing assembly, and I think I found 5 equivalently specced basic components which shaves $15 off. I also found alternate sources for a lot of the extra accessories, tens pads, cables, needles. Everything included with all shipping, taxes, fees, a batch of 5 costs $61 and you only have to solder a few through hole components, assuming I didn’t break anything in the design. I think if I returned the design to everything on 1 side, if that doesn’t make the board too much larger it could maybe save $15 total (LCSC charges $30 for shipping, but if you move those parts to the front to be assembled too, for $15 in extended component fees and probably a comparable amount for the parts, you can eliminate the LCSC order).
Not that this really matters that much because I don’t think I can get it low enough for my unemployed-ass to feel comfortable buying. But maybe it’ll help someone else who wants to make them know how low you can reasonably go if you shop around and tweak the design. Working on this is just my hyperfixation for the week driven by my dysphoria tbh
