@maple hi maple bun!

@Jo massive overkill

I think the standard issue for DIY keyboards is still the teensy, then again pi zeroes are so cheap you're not spending much more

@qonnyr I'll admit, this news story does make less sense than usual

@qonnyr https://www.nme.com/news/music/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-sent-beard-shavings-to-azealia-banks-so-she-could-make-an-amulet-to-protect-him-from-isis-2422543

As far as we're aware eugen hasn't sent any of his own hair to a rapper in order for them to make him a protective amulet so... uh... guess that goes in the Twitter/Mastodon comparison lists

"Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sent beard shavings to Azealia Banks so she could make an amulet to protect him from ISIS"

This is an article that exists

Because of course that fucking happened

@maple that was one nice shiny chonkulator right there, nice work!

@maple oh hell yeah, I love those wiggly traces

@ajroach42 @blackle@dev.glitch.social

@danishcookies mods have very messed up sleep patterns, never be so sure

@maple that's a good chonky calculator right there

@natalie@masto.ninja oh yeah, these are just the plain boring ones

@natalie@masto.ninja was wrong about it being 600, it's only 300, which is still ridiculously bright

@natalie@masto.ninja just a cheap 12v power supply, needs about 40W so one of those ones that looks like it's for laptops

haven't tested it with a power meter or anything but I'm assuming it's not too much

@penguin42 your standard LED strip like you can get from amazon or just about anywhere else, comes as a self adhesive tape with LEDs along it, costs about a tenner for 5 metres then you just need a 40W 12v power supply

no, wait, I was wrong, it's 300 of them, 60 per metre

600x 5050 SMD LEDs are quite bright
