Took me long enough to finish this Cloq kit, but very happy with how it turned out.

See me embarrass myself on the internet today: https://makezine.com/article/digital-fabrication/make-live-inside-volume-96-the-digifab-issue

Make: Live - Inside Volume 96, The Digifab Issue

At Make: we’ve cheered, and sometimes steered, two decades of rapid evolution in digital fabrication tools for home, hobby, and business use. But this year is an astonishing one. Make: Vol. 96 is all about the latest digital fabrication tools! Join us live as we talk about 3D printer tech, CNCs, lasers, and more! Multi-material 3D printing is finally legit, with smart, tool-changing machines that don’t waste filament. We'll talk about Snapmaker’s U1 tool changer, plus new 3D printers from Elegoo, Flashforge, and Prusa that are packed with advanced features at plummeting prices. We also got to go hands-on with new lasers from xTool — the burly MetalFab metal cutter/welder and petite MOPA F2 Ultra engraver — and with desktop CNC mini mills that have achieved the trifecta of power, price, and software that doesn’t suck. It’s a good time to succumb to your tool temptations.

This was fun to build. https://makezine.com/article/technology/computers-mobile/review-framework-laptop-13/ I was surprised the hardest part was picking a Linux flavor.

Review: Framework Laptop 13 - Make:

Framework's Laptop 13 isn't just a capable machine, but one you can repair and keep using indefinitely.

Dictation hearing "oscilloscope" as "ass telescope" is my new favorite error

I'd been meaning to build a CNC mill for almost 20 years, so this was fun. Still took s while. https://makezine.com/article/digital-fabrication/machining/reviewing-the-shariff-dmc2-mini-cnc-mill/

Reviewing the Shariff DMC2 Mini CNC Mill - Make:

Shariff DMC2 Mini is a scrappy CNC mill for those who like getting their hands dirty.

Looking for the owner of a lost PCB from a SMD soldering workshop at #39c3! 🐱

This interactive cat board purrs when you pet it nicely but hisses if you rub it wrong. Left behind after Day 3 at Hardware Hacking Assembly - the only one not picked up after programming.

Video attached, and photo of unique 0402 practice grid in comments. Boost to help this PCB find its owner! (Assembly run by @maltman23, workshop taught by Kliment) @drc3p0
