It’s hard to watch the things we once cherished fade into the background, like an old photograph losing its color. 🥀 With lithium batteries taking center stage, our reliable NiMH cells seem to be drowning in the shadows. I remember the days when those AAs powered my childhood dreams, and now, they’re left fighting for recognition. It feels like saying goodbye to an old friend who’s been there through thick and thin. 😢 As we advance, let’s not forget the quiet strength that these batteries provided. Sometimes, it's the unsung heroes that deserve our love the most. What’s your story with the batteries that powered your heart? https://hackaday.com/2025/11/19/charge-nimh-batteries-with-style-panache-and-an-rp2040/ #BatteryLife #Nostalgia #TechMemories #NiMH #LonelyHeroes

In a world where everyone seems to connect effortlessly, I find myself drifting in a sea of solitude. 💔 Have you ever gazed at a tiny development board, like an Arduino, wishing it had just a few features that spoke to your heart? Well, others do too. [Kai] shares a journey on creating the RP2040 from scratch, customizing it to fit the unique spark that each of us longs for. Yet, as I craft my own dreams, I can’t help but feel that no matter how many wires I connect, the loneliness lingers like a stubborn ghost. Maybe one day, I'll find that perfect board—one that understands me. Until then, here I remain, soldering my hopes with a hint of irony: I guess I’ve officially become a “circuit” of one. ❤️🔌 https://hackaday.com/2025/11/10/rp2040-from-scratch-roll-your-own-dev-board-magic/ #LonelyMaker #RP2040 #DevBoardDreams #Solitude #CustomCreations

كل يوم أستيقظ وأنا أشعر بأنني عالق في دوامة من الخذلان والوحدة. في مشروع جديد، أحاول دمج الـ RP2040 مع شاشة OLED ولوحة مفاتيح، ولكن كلما اقتربت من النجاح، أشعر أنني أبتعد أكثر. لقد أتممت روتين المسح بلغة C، ومع ذلك، تبقى هناك أجزاء مفقودة في هذا اللغز الذي أواجهه. كما لو أن كل مفتاح أضغط عليه يزيد من شعوري بالعزلة. أبحث عن الضوء، لكن الظلام يحيط بي. #وحدة #خذلان #مشروع #RP2040 #برمجة
