I am not an optimist. However, the most optimistic thing I can think of-- which also fits all the facts I have seen so far-- comes from Michael Moore's 2001 book "Stupid White Men". He claimed then that the fascism we are experiencing and have been since Bush v Gore, is the last gasp of old white men and patriarchal, racist thinking. It is bound to die. It must die, and it is dying. But it won't go down without a brutal fight, like a cornered animal. And that's what this is.

On YouTube, [Prototype] is turning back the clock, by turning an old Smith-Corona electric typewriter into a luggable computer– with a stretch goal of still being able to type.
Yeah, just gutting the typewriter and shoving an SBC inside wasn’t ambitious enough for [Prototype]: his goal is a working typewriter and an x86 gaming PC.

Crouching Typewriter, Hidden PC
Go back a couple of generations, and rather than a laptop or a luggable, the office accessory of choice was a portable typewriter. As the 20th century wore on, the typewriter became electric before eventually being eclipsed by luggable and laptop computers. On YouTube, [Prototype] is turning back the clock, by turning an old Smith-Corona electric typewriter into a luggable computerโ with a stretch goal of still being able to type.
Yeah, just gutting the typewriter and shoving an SBC inside wasnโt ambitious enough for [Prototype]: his goal is a working typewriter and an x86 gaming PC. To facilitate this, he guts the Smith-Corona keyboard, and 3D-prints a new top plate to add a little more vertical space in the old typewriter. The new top does recreate the original layout and the Corona switches get printed adapters to fit them to mechanical switches [Prototype] is using with a vibe-coded Arduino. Why one would bother with ChatGPT when QMK is right there, we could not say, but feel free to skip 6:20 to 15:00 if youโre watching the video but want to avoid that side quest.
Unfortunately, the โget the keyboard workingโ side-quest is either faked or deferred to video part II, which has not been posted yet. In this video he demonstrates that he can actuate a single hammer with a servo, but thatโs a far cry from a working typewriter so, weโre really hoping he comes through on that promise in Part Two. Even if the build stops with just one hammer, that would give the tactile sound-and-feel that other builds turn to solenoids for. Squeezing a small-form-factor motherboard and graphics card into the old Smith-Corona is also going to be an interesting challenge. Itโs certainly going to be a step up from using the keyboard as a terminal.

Writing an Optimizing Tensor Compiler from Scratch
Not everyone will write their own optimizing compiler from scratch, but those who do sometimes roll into it during the course of ever-growing project scope creep. People like [Michael Moroz], who wrote up a long and detailed article on the why and how. Specifically, a ‘small library’ involving a few matrix operations for a Unity-based project turned into a static optimizing tensor compiler, called TensorFrost, with a Python front-end and a shader-like syntax, all of which is available on GitHub.

The Python-based front-end implements low-level NumPy-like operations, with development still ongoing. As for why Yet Another Tensor Library had be developed, the reasons were that most of existing libraries are heavily focused on machine learning tasks and scale poorly otherwise, dynamic flow control is hard to implement, and the requirement of writing custom kernels in e.g. CUDA.
Above all [Michael] wanted to use a high-level language instead of pure shader code, and have something that can output graphical data in real-time. Taking the gamble, and leaning on LLVM for some parts, there is now a functional implementation, albeit with still a lot of work ahead.

Need a Curved Plastic Mesh? Print Flat, Curve Later
Need a plastic mesh in a custom pattern? 3D print it, no problem. But what if one needs a curved plastic mesh? That’s considerably harder to 3D print, but [Uncle Jessy]’s figured out a simple approach: 3D print the mesh flat, then break out a mold and a heat gun.
Of course, there are a few gotchas, but [Uncle Jessy] shares his tips for getting the most reliable results. The important part is to design and 3D print a mold that represents the final desired shape. Then print the mesh, and fit it into a frame. Heat things up with a heat gun, and press into the mold to deform the mesh while it’s still soft. It’s much easier seen than explained, so take a few moments to check out the video, embedded below the page break.

Heat things up with a heat gun, and press into the mold to deform the mesh while itโs still soft. Itโs much easier seen than explained, so take a few moments to check out the video, embedded below the page break. Custom eye inserts become a breeze. Because the plastic in a mesh is so thin, [Uncle Jessy] says to keep the heat low and slow. The goal is to have the mesh stretch and deform, not melt.
Speaking of heat, when thermoforming, one usually needs to make the mold out of heat-resistant material. But the thermal mass of a mesh is so small that it really doesnโt matter much โ there just isnโt enough heat trapped in the mesh to really damage a mold. As long as the mold is reasonably dense, thereโs no need to go overboard with making it heat resistant.
The whole process takes a little practice, but since the meshes are so fast to print and use so little plastic itโs easy to experiment a little.
As for the meshes themselves, a simple way to print a mesh is just to print a disc with no top or bottom layers, only infill. Set the infill pattern to honeycomb, for example, for an easy hexagon mesh. Weโve seen a variant of this โexposed infillโ idea used to create a desiccant container, and using it to print a mesh pattern easily is a neat trick, too.
Why might one need to reshape a mesh into a curve? Perhaps to custom-fit a costume piece, or make custom eye inserts for masks, as shown here. In any case, itโs a good technique to keep in the back of oneโs mind, and if you put it to good use, drop us a tip!
Ordering Pizza On Your Sega Dreamcast Is Very Clunky Indeed

If you’re creative and a little bit tricky, though, you can order pizza right from your Sega Dreamcast.

Ordering Pizza On Your Sega Dreamcast Is Very Clunky Indeed
If youโre ordering pizza these days, youโre probably using a smartphone app or perhaps still making a regular old phone call. If youโre creative and a little bit tricky, though, you can order pizza right from your Sega Dreamcast. You just need to jump through a few hoops, as demonstrated by [Delux] and [The Dreamcast Junkyard] in the recent past.
You used to be able to order pizza on the Dreamcast natively, all the way back in 1999. However, the modern Dominoโs website doesnโt really work on the ancient Dreamcast browser anymore. The simple fact is that web technology has advanced a long way in the last couple of decades, and Sega didnโt exactly spend a lot of time maintaining a browser on a console that died mere months after its rivals hit the market.
Thus, to place a pizza order on the Dreamcast these days, you need to work within its limitations. [Delux] uses the Dreamcast with the Broadband Adapter to access a PC on the local network via the XDP web browser. That PC is hosting Web Rendering Proxy, a tool which converts complicated modern websites into something a simpler machine can parse. From there, itโs a matter of connecting to the Dominoโs website, and slowly clicking through the online ordering pages. Between the proxy delay, the Dreamcastโs glacial processing speed, and the clunky Dominoโs ordering interface, it takes ages. Never before has adding coupons felt like such a hassle. Still, after 15 minutes of fuss, the order is completedโฆ and a short time later, a hot fresh pizza arrives.
Do Expensive Filaments Make 3D Printed Wrenches Better?
What filament is strongest? The real answer is “it depends”, but sometimes you have a simple question and you just want a simple answer. Like, which material makes the best 3D printed wrench? [My Tech Fun] printed a bunch of options to find out — including some expensive filaments — and got some interesting insights in the process.
His setup is simple: he printed a bunch of 13 mm open-end wrenches, and tested each one to failure by cranking on a clamped digital torque meter until the wrench failed by breaking, or skipping.
[My Tech Fun] tested a total of eighteen filaments, from regular basic PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA, and a variety of carbon fiber-infused filaments including PPA-CF. TPU is included for fun, and there’s also a wrench printed with continuo

His setup is simple: he printed a bunch of 13 mm open-end wrenches, and tested each one to failure by cranking on a clamped digital torque meter until the wrench failed by breaking, or skipping.
[My Tech Fun] tested a total of eighteen filaments, from regular basic PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA, and a variety of carbon fiber-infused filaments including PPA-CF. TPU is included for fun, and thereโs also a wrench printed with continuous carbon fiber, which requires a special printer. More on that in a moment. First, letโs get to the results! PETG wrench reinforced with continuous carbon fiber. The result is extremely stiff compared to without. Unsurprisingly, TPU fared the worst at 0.8 nM which is roughly โunscrewing the cap of a water bottleโ territory. Top performers included the wrench printed with continuous carbon fiber reinforcement (failing at 3.7 nM) and a couple printed in expensive PPA-CF (high-temperature nylon filament with carbon fiber) topped the list at 4.3 nM. Everything else landed somewhere in between, with plain PLA surprisingly outperforming some CF blends.
The continuous carbon fiber wrench was printed on a FibreSeeker printer, which reinforces a print with solid fibers embedded into the plastic instead of chopped particles, and such prints are noticeably more resistant to bending. Check out our earlier coverage for a closer look at what the FibreSeeker does.
This is a good time to mention that the wrench 3D model used is not at all optimized for best results with 3D printing. But thatโs okay; this is really about the filaments, not the wrench.
The wrench model is just a way to test things in a familiar and highly visual, relatable way. You can see each one in action in the video below, and seeing [My Tech Fun] turn the wrenches gives a very good idea of just how much force is involved, with a relatable display of just how strong the different filaments are.

Adapters are readily available online, and are usually manufactured as a PCB with a protruding contact to make a connection.
For [Androxilogin], though, time was short. Rather than wait for adapters to ship, it was quicker to whip up a custom piece to do the same job. This was achieved with a 3D print which was able to clamp around the CPU, while snugly holding a piece of tinned 30 AWG wire to poke the critical point beneath the chip. After a couple of attempts to get the sizing just right, [Androxilogin] was able to make the necessary connection which enabled installing Xell Loader on to the machine to bring it back to life.

@jerry, who probably should watch his step in that maze of microphones: is there a way to keep track of inactive accounts as they hit the floor and go catatonic?
The account record keeps track of the last time the account was active, and in the moderation panel, you can see that last active time for any given account, but there isn't a simple way, other than through an sql console, to search for accounts that are inactive.
I see. Well, that's helpful. A pity people bred on the algorithm addiction of centralized platforms don't give Mastodon a fair shake. They might, as fascism digs in.
