"[G]iven that the cost to use a larger, better capacitor is effectively nil in most cases, you can keep experiencing that exact same level of cognitive load avoidance by just using 1uF or 2.2uF instead, in the smallest capacitor package that is practical for the voltage and assembly constraints you have, and placing it right up against the power pins. It’s free real estate, or something."
not sure why i couldn't find these before? small, relatively inexpensive, same brand as the trackpads in the steam deck

guess who made a mistaaaaake soldering her gba modddddd

"I set my goal not use ANY microcontrollers or FPGAs in my build - just basic discrete logic components. So, what exactly am I going to build? I needed to NOT set too a high goal for myself, so I would be able to finish this project in *relatively* short time (Is 2yrs short enough? :-) ). The most basic RISC-V CPU, that is supported by compilers, must include the extension "I" (Integer) and it must be at least 32 bit. So now I had all the information I'm going to need, so it was time to start building."
hand tracking model
rad as fuck imo: send your arduino sketch in a cell, read and plot incoming data in another cell
"an ultra-low-power wireless MCU that uses energy harvesting technology. This means that the ONiO.zero solely operates on energy from its surroundings. No coincell, no supercap, no lithium, no battery at all - but still a ton of power."
detailed explanation of an unbelievably bad-ass build, fuck
shared ethernet/usb, closed-source gpu (which is secretly in control of vital functionality), underclocking because of bad power supplies
