  7. Fingerprint scanner on the side, please

    Apple killed TouchID when they got rid of the home button, which is a shame, as with TouchID my phone was unlocked by the time it was out of my pocket. Modern flagship Android phones are putting expensive ultrasonic…

  14. (Discussion) Lithium cash-refundable deposit legislation

    Lithium mining is a very expensive and problematic necessity of our connected society. In my state (Vermont) it is illegal to dispose of lithium e-waste by normal means, however none of my customers actually know where…

  17. C implementation of Swipe input method?

    Now that the Swype patent has expired, I think it would be neato to see some FOSS implementations. Does anyone know of any promising projects? I would love a raspberry pi pda with a resistive touch screen and swipe…

  19. Opinion: I Hate Glossy Devices

    Any glossy device that comes into contact with human hands is going to look filthy within the half hour. Of course it is going to look better in marketing materials and when you take it out of the box, but a week in,…

  24. I connected Windows XP to the Internet; it was fine

    A couple months ago I installed XP onto a ThinkPad X120e; being the first dual-core AMD ThinkPad the hardware is relatively emaciated, and I wanted something lightweight and productive for it. I used legacyupdate.net to…

  25. Mechanical load bearing solder (Sansa Clip Plus)

    I'm no engineer but please, hardware designers, stop using load bearing solder. I saw a Sansa Clip Plus going on eBay for cheap so I decided to snag it, as this mp3 player is known for having one of the best DACs (even…
