Behold the $350 Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB RAM, because apparently, the world needed a DIY computer that costs as much as a discount laptop 💸🤦‍♂️. #Adafruit wants you to believe it’s "unique" and "fun," but we all know it's just a glorified excuse to hoard more useless cables and kits that you'll never use 🔌📦.

I just received, assembled, and configured the Anavi 12-key Macro Keyboard. There is a python file that shows up on a USB filesystem that appears when the keyboard is plugged in, which is easy to configure to produce any macro keys. I'm using it to control OBS hotkey scripts for live streaming. I highly recommend this keyboard.

Some company cease-and-desisting Adafruit over review of "AI tools" (I suspect negative reviews).

🎓🤯 Meet Nick, the dorm-room DIY deity who 'accidentally' invented a million-dollar keyboard by smashing together wires and dreams while ignoring his freshman coursework. 🙌🔌 Apparently, all it takes to revolutionize the tech world is a clunky holiday and an #Adafruit 32u4—so why bother with that computer science degree, right? 🙄👏
