dulapbot: Logged on 2021-12-23 02:03:41 crtdaydreams: I have a little rpi 4b sitting here that's been collecting dust since the damn things came out, I originally brought it along with a USB C powerbank to have a portable pi, but that use died with my skiddie phase, any ideas?
signpost: as for the particular hardware, full of binary blobs and etc, probably "hay let's cheaply increase the capacity of our nobus botnet"
asciilifeform: signpost: personally asciilifeform suspects that rpi was baked under the 'undermine linux' reich.project
asciilifeform: (i.e. to 'normalize' blobware)

asciilifeform: the most recent one almost certainly from an entire construction crew sneezing directly in asciilifeform's face, lol

bonechewer: Merry Christmas and speedy recoveries to all!
bonechewer: Regarding other, unrelated potentially glad tidings: I liked this item with a blow-by-blow account of manufacturing small qty PCBs
bonechewer: Seems like if one can find actually available components, costs may be not quite as bad as estimated
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-26 15:33:18 asciilifeform: bonechewer: this as you can already see aint esp. difficult to build. problem will be similar to FG (which, or something like it, you in fact will need to include in each unit). you'll need to sell'em for 1k$+ to break even. (or, alternatively, 100$ but sell 1e6 units.)
asciilifeform: bonechewer: dunno if you recall, but asciilifeform in fact did this
asciilifeform: the economics have changed, but strictly for the ~worse~, nao there are 18+mo. wait times (with prepay) even for simple passive components.
asciilifeform: + indefinite shipping delays for boards etc
asciilifeform: bonechewer: if all you need externally is the pcb, can still get (in onesie-twosie prototype run), supposing you have the components to populate it in yer cupboard, yes
asciilifeform: but this'll give you onesie-twosie boards for personal use, rather than for sale.
asciilifeform: ^ these hand-baked blue rngs actually became part of the 1st batch of fg, folx who buy from dpb have some chance of getting'em
asciilifeform: folx intent on baking FG-style '100s' irons, at this point are prolly stuck buying components on ebay etc., and also buying personal pick-n-place bot, reflow oven, stencil laser, etc. and installing in house.
asciilifeform: either that or 'pay 5fig$ nao, get boards maybe-someday, and if there's a pcb mistake, do it again'.
asciilifeform leaves 'what price the resulting boards to recover cost of this' to alert reader
asciilifeform: and if you think 'the shortages are temporary!', i've a coupla bridges to sell ya.
signpost quite curious if there'll be a simultaneous move for donbas and taiwan
signpost: govt media (cnn et al) are priming the cows for biden's departure.
asciilifeform: signpost: plox to link example? asciilifeform has not been reading the fishwraps
signpost: hm archive.is seems deaded.
dulapbot: (trilema) 2014-10-24 asciilifeform: 'At the 1980 Olympics, Brezhnev begins his speech. "O!"—applause. "O!"—an ovation. "O!!!"—the whole audience stands up and applauds. An aide comes running to the podium and whispers, "Leonid Ilyich, those are the Olympic logo rings, you don't need to read all of them!"'
signpost: bwahahaha
signpost: understandable why putin seems so frustrated with us. "these motherfuckers intend to reenact the walmart-knockoff version of everything we lived through?"
asciilifeform: speakin' of collapse & shortages of erryday items, turns out that furniture made of actual wood has '6+ mo' (i.e. unbounded, a la btc miners) queues. and that's with prepay
asciilifeform: and even if willing to pay 5fig$.
mats: try RH
asciilifeform: mats: that RH?
asciilifeform: 'AN IMPORTANT DELIVERY UPDATE. We’re experiencing delays due to challenges from COVID-19 and its impact on our production partners and the global supply chain.'
asciilifeform: some pretty epic overpriced rubbish in that shop... not 1 item loox like it could've existed in 1890s
mats: i know some moneybags who've been shopping there, didn't have problems with availability
mats: what are you looking to buy
asciilifeform: mats: 1 of these
mats: that's a tall order
asciilifeform: unobtainium.
asciilifeform: it aint it tho
mats: i prefer platform beds myself
asciilifeform looking for specifically the item in linked photo. for weeks nao. found 0 except asicminer-style 'delivery someday' bullshit.
asciilifeform: of the latter, found dozen+ vendors.
mats: try again in a year
asciilifeform strongly suspects that next yr even particleboard liquishit will be sold asicminer-style
mats: it will be ok
asciilifeform: mats: you srsly think 'temporary shortages' ??
mats: for example, i think auto supply chain will be ok by mid to fall 2022
asciilifeform: can't resist to ask, how ? martians will land and airdrop parts ?
asciilifeform: ( or they will replace the workers who can't live on the inflatola and dun see point in working ? )
asciilifeform: ^ is what is usg.euphemistically referred to as 'labour shortage' in the fishwraps currently
mats: yes, lots of people have and are retiring early
asciilifeform: more often i suspect hobo.retiring
asciilifeform: factory workers aint retiring to villas in costa rica, no.
billymg: asciilifeform: https://www.dwr.com/bedroom-beds/matera-bed%2C-standard-headboard/5114-1.html?lang=en_US (w/ storage, queen, standard headboard, oak: available in 2 weeks -- walnut: 7 weeks)
asciilifeform: billymg: it aint the linked item
asciilifeform: the item billymg linked, asciilifeform can make w/ own hands, lol, in a weekend
billymg: what's special about this one?
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-12-24 21:30:02 asciilifeform: mats: 1 of these
asciilifeform: billymg: the shelf/drawers
billymg: one i linked has drawers as well
mats: prices will go up and supply chains will slowly go back to normal
billymg: under the bead
asciilifeform: no shelf
mats: unless there's something more novel than more variants i don't think the shortages will continue for many years
mats: omicron is not sending many folk to hospital
asciilifeform: mats: i expect Official proclamation of 'new variant' erry 3-6mo like clockwork 4evah
asciilifeform: mats: whole covidiocy imho is quite transparent scheme to wind down the industrial economy. so actual physical effects of variant-of-the-day less interesting from that pov
mats: wind down whose industrial economy though?
mats: china's open for business
asciilifeform: errybody else's
asciilifeform: in china is more of a scheme to up the totalitarian temperature
asciilifeform: (as i understand, quite successful)
mats: sure, beijing is quite emboldened to act aggressively now
asciilifeform: gleichschaltung.
mats: no more 'hiding strength, biding time'
mats: olympics in 6 weeks
asciilifeform: hm didnt they have 1 just recently? complete w/ empty seats
mats: the last one was in jp
mats: i wonder whether putin really wants the rest of ukraine
mats: seems unlikely to me
asciilifeform: mats: if it were good for sumthing, would've eaten it in '14 when was doable w/ min. wank.
asciilifeform: (spoiler: it aint, 1990s never ended in ukristan, errything of value was sawed apart & sold to foreigners loong ago)
