My article "Zombitron: towards a toolbox for repurposing obsolete smartphones into new interactive systems" is out !

📄 https://computingwithinlimits.org/2025/papers/limits2025-rigaud-zombitron.pdf

I present a high-level approach aimed at encouraging the practice of repurposing obsolete smartphones in the design of interactive systems, despite their complexity and heterogeneity. I discuss how such a tool can be integrated into creative practices and in particular into the design of music controllers.

It will be presented Thursday at #LIMITS2025

@RavynWitch thermoregulation can be an issue with duloxetine so depending on the reasons to take it perhaps there is an alternative within the same class that will just have a slight difference but enough to avoid that particular side effect

@RavynWitch sorry to say I don't know, i suspect a health professional wouldn't recommend it as you have the med for a reason so on/off has associated risks in itself (withdrawal etc) but fedi isn't the place to find out 😃

@RavynWitch we don't truly know how these drugs work as while we know they are reuptake inhibitors how you scale the receptor to how they change how you feel is just a whole level of unknown (though we do know they work)

So yeah I think it's reasonable to assume that a break might adjust your receptors and so possibly give different effects (though also some may have exactly the same response/side effects)

@hennichodernich oh that's really clever, do you have more details anywhere?

@hennichodernich I share the same hobby though have never successfully managed to upgrade the memory as my soldering is just not good enough 😃

My newest hobby: Reviving end-of-life wireless routers for use with current OpenWRT by replacing their flash chips with 16MB ones.

@anthropy I've just ordered a Daly smart BMS (direct from the manufacturer), I'll update how it goes.

@smallsolar @ai6yr I constantly look for a photocell timer that is 12V. I am currently using one designed for pond lighting. It was 32 $USD and still working as installed 11 months ago. I always assumed I would need to use a heavy duty automotive relay for bigger draws.

@aaaabbbb @redsad @missbullitt uh, most of it is

I linked to the what-if about the matter and it accounts for the rest, too; it is likely that a little bit of some plastics did come from animals
