Is there an easy way to flash something useful and usable on the #WHY2025 badges yet?

Are there any other people here which are also still waiting for their #why2025 post-event merchandise order to arrive?

I recently wrote the merch team an email and asked them if they would be so kind and just cancel my order as the supplier of the merch still isn't able to deliver the merch in a good enough quality. But they denied and told me cancellations aren't possible.

Wtf, I paid almost 150€ in August 2025 which I didn't receive until March 2026. And I can't cancel the order. Seriously?

After having had to jump through some frustrating administrative hoops cause of ICS, I now have a #meshcore repeater temporarily setup indoors (sensecap solar)

I have a badge from last year's #why2025 event and found @Peetz0r hard work of figuring out how to get meshcore working on it as well as the great writeup, so I used that as my client.

I'm surprised at just how well it works here, even though my repeater is basically just balanced on top of a cupboard close to an outside wall, I never really expected it to work as well as it does. I've seen clients 24 hops or hundreds of kilometres, away in another country. Mind boggling.

Hopefully I'll get my repeater permanently fixed high up outside somewhere soon.

Makes me wanna get more repeaters to close some gaps and improve local reliability to be honest...

#why2025 does it take so long to get the t-shirts shipped. #DPD status is still in “not yet shipped” state. I will move end of February and I hope they will come before that date….
Tried to re-wire the #WHY2025 badge, flashed it with firmware to run meshcore on it, but seems I need to remove more epoxy to make the wires hold more firmly. Getting more lora hardware in tomorrow for a repeater with outdoor antenna. Have to see if it will be #meshcore or #Meshtastic based on neighbour devices.

Look, I get what they were trying to do with the black-on-black print on the #WHY2025 merch, but at first glance, it almost always looks like cum stains.

Provides some amount of plausible deniability though … 🤔

I just got myself a #WHY2025 Badge and I can’t get the up arrow and enter key to work. Other keys (down, a, esc) work like expected. It works when I unscrew the top plate and move the rubber keyboard ever so slightly, but when I try to assemble the badge like that the screw holes are not aligned and aligning breaks the functionality again. I also looked if the membrane was dirty or misaligned, but it seems to be clean (especially underneath) and aligned to the frame printed on the PCB. I’m a bit lost. Some of the keys work like a charm. Anyone got a similar problem and found a solution?
