I’ve had so many ideas, and finished projects that I imagine the internet would enjoy seeing. But the toxicity of the large capital-I Internet always kept me from launching.

See: reply-guy reputation developed here on mast
See: armchair engineers on Reddit (who must always be right, similar to the reply guys)
See: anyone’s community on youtube.

I’ve fleshed out whole brand ideas, bought domain names, planned out a year’s worth of videos with narratives, shot lists..

But then I see the internet do what it does, and just tear at people. I don’t have the stability to sit through that so I lurk.

A good watch for learning what creators get in return for sharing might be William Osman’s video on this:

Weird behavior I cannot explain, from some hardware hacking:

I have a bluetooth weight scale. I have used a scope to tap the serial line between the main micro and the comms chip. Decoded enough to find the weight within the packets.

I go to solder wires to those same test-point-pads I had scope probes on before. Now, suddenly, the scale is insanely slow to update. No shorts. The other ends of the wire are open. But the refresh rate of the scale's screen went from ~2hz to ~10sec.

Nothing is (or ever has been) paired to the bluetooth.

Is the additional length of wire degrading the serial lines? The main mcu is wired to the display separately from these bluetooth chip lines. I wanted to snoop on the serial from a separate rp2040 and track stuff locally, but just adding jump wires made the system near unusable!

They’ve all said nothing but that for years.
