Work in progress for the keyboard for a user with #cerebralpalsy . The previous version appeared too big and clumsy. Experimenting with a tiny touchscreen now.

LOL I should use my brain more often. So, I started a pet project that utilizes an esp32s3 with a USB port (it will implement a USB device) and a touchscreen. I took the board I had in my cupboard and told Claude to design the project.... 30 dollars later, after about 10 tries, still nothing on display and the touch doesn't work. So, I had to read the schematics and it appears, the USB pins are not in use, and there's a USB serial adapter on the board. So, a total waste of time. Ok, I found another device in the cupboard, and I told the clanker to scrap the old device and remake the project for the new one... Ok, touch and USB don't work here. Had to check the schematics and guess what, the touch chip uses the same pins 19 and 20 as the USB interface on the esp32s3.
Lesson learned: read the schematics before firing up the clanker :)
The main goal is to die young, as old as possible.
Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it was, in essence, a 76,000-square-foot artificial wound. Trays full of meat, blood, and water, each one heated to the exact right temperature to stimulate screwworm growth, moved through the facility on a monorail system timed to the lifecycle of the screwworm.

😂 Ford rehires more 300 veteran human engineers after it says AI failed to deliver the same level of expertise. This involved replacing senior leaders across engineering, supply chain and manufacturing, it said, as well as hiring the roughly 300 veteran engineers "who carry the hard-earned wisdom of decades of design" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgrkd41n2v9o

My word processor project went probably a bit too far.
Relatable.
