Can anyone who's better at electronics than me tell me how this thing powers it's microcontroller? There doesn't seem to be a transformer.
Can you really get 230V AC to 3.3V DC with just resistors and diodes or am I missing something here?
MF3RS Force Cubes!
I think you could solve those too @cpsdqs ;)
Making a lego rubik's cube. 3 sides to go!
Greetings to all chaos.social users!

@cpsdqs Do you know any good js animation libraries?
I need to create custom animations, that can't be full done in css (They need values only known at runtime).

Writing a new backend for my website. Django is pretty cool.
Another normal day with arch linux... https://mastodon.xyz/media/uRK6HzDstxQNaVmiHYA
My clothes dryer broke a few days ago. I decided to open it up to see if I could repair it.

Public repair instructions/documentation should be standard for all (electronic) devices.
