Thanks, so do I!
Yeah I picked it for style, then regretted it when building the project when I remembered that aluminium is conductive (duh…),
which meant that all the grounds were connected together…
Which is not what I needed and I had to get creative to insulate them from eachother (you can see it a little on the last pic, I coated every hole for the connectors on the right side with nail polish).
In the end it was worth it though, I love the finished look :)
Thanks! I kind of became my friends’ and family’s recycling center ^^
I’m accumulating a lot of stuff but that gives me the opportunity to tinker without feeling too bad if I end up messing up :)
Thank you, and cool! Do you mind me asking about your wiring?
I actually also started trying to hook up a small bluetooth speaker’s innards to a guitar amp but I’m getting crazy noise when trying to play music through it…
I wasn’t sure where to connect the audio outputs and the power supply so I’m interested in seeing how you went about with that :)
Yeah sorry that wasn’t very clear: the only thing wrong with them was the cable used to connect them to a computer.
Now that I think of it there might have been a little amp board in the volume selector switch that was on said cable.

I wanted this without knowing I wanted it, it makes so much sense.
It would make this community much more interesting to me than it already is, what a great idea!
And here I was running out of ideas of what to encapsulate!
BTW if someone has an idea of something cool to do with this, I’m all ears.
I bought phosphorescent pigment with the plan to make little canisters of ooze from TMNT 2 but not sure what to mix the pigment with…ideally something non flammable, I’ve tried water but it wasn’t super conclusive.
Machined it in two parts using my former workplace’s CNC (I only gave it this shape because I had access to it).
The dark line you see is where the parts are glued together, and I added a black laminate interlayer thinking it’d give it some style.
Then did what felt like a year of sanding for such a small object, and some oil to finish it.
I messed up the grain orientation though and the smaller hole in the back has been broken and glued back on already
Dude me too! If you ever do please post it here, I’d love to follow your process!
Oooh yeah well finances are helping me behave in that regard (งツ)ว
I sense i’m missing the joke, but in case it’q a genuine question: it doesn’t, it’s for weighing about 60grams of rice :) And thank you!
Great idea!
That’s awesome ! As a tinkerer myself I love to see these kind of projects come to life. Do you know of other communities that are about DIY ?
Can you not be a dick about it?
Look it’s my opinion from personal experience, just disregard it if it bothers you.
I read the whole series of posts but didn’t see them, I guess I needed to search some more - my bad.
I’m not saying social media doesn’t let you do all those things, I’m saying you don’t need it to do them.
I don’t have kids and never used Snapchat, but what does Snapchat provide that helps them communicate better than let’s say WhatsApp?
Edit: I went to dig on Burnett’s page for the links you tell me about. All I found was a radio interview of a doctor on radio Boston, an article from the Sunday times about Burnett’s book and an article on Wales online, also about the book.
Could you link me to the relevant articles I must have missed?
Edit 2: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7364393/ Found this article that combines different studies made on the subject. Around halfway through the page you will find the results of some of these studies and you will see the answer isn’t clear.
Let’s remember the ban in Australia concerns platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit and X. Exemptions will apply to services such as YouTube, messenger kids, whatsapp, kids helpline and google classroom.
The account you provided starts by stating that “the most rigorous analysis” found little/no significant evidence , but fails to link to them. He immediately lumps together smartphone and social media, then goes on justifying the importance of both with arguments that clearly concern almost exclusively smartphones.
This ban is about social media, not smartphones altogether.
Garwboy’s arguments:
they let kids stay connected with friends, foster a community, allow coordination of activities: he’s talking about smartphones.
they allow access to school work, references, important resources: again, smartphones/the internet
they allow access to support, help and guidance from experienced and informed individuals and groups: this point I’ll give to him; as for years, Reddit has served that very purpose for me. Who knows what that site has become though.
he compares them to roads (roads kill children every year, but they save many lives, make the world go round,…): again this whole comparison is only valid for smartphones.
they are a refuge for children who experience abuse at home: this is probably true, but it is not an argument about how social media helps in these situations. I could say the same about drugs .
Which brings us to my point of view: social media are, for many, a drug. A bit of it can be good, fun and even sometimes make your like better, but we have to acknowledge the negative side, which in my opinion can have devastating effects in a person’s mental, especially when the mental is still in its forming stage.
I’m sorry lots of people on here apparently need to be dicks about pretty much anything they’re trying to say… I don’t disagree with them but there must be a less toxic way to say it. Thank you for making new content, Lemmy needs it!
In French we call them virgin CDs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
