New Smart Ring with LED Segment display are on Aliexpress,unfortunately seems like its RTL8762 based which is still not"Hackable"sadly. So not going to order it s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_okrFoRC Better stick to the SR08 if you want something hackable wit Display😅 youtu.be/xOw-6uMfOjc

Found a Smiirl Sub Counter for cheap on the flea market Damn that's just a very overpriced and unsecure OpenWRT Router with added I2C Interface to the FlipsFlaps running some basic Lua scripts.. 300 bugs for that is bogus! Easy to get SSH within the same network for good reuse

These Memor X3 bad Boys are too cute🥹 Just no use for them so they will end on ebay shortly Still wanted to share this nostalgic view

Dumping firmware from JieLi chips JieLi chips are fairly common in Bluetooth audio devices, but they are also becoming more common in miscellaneous devices. Fortunately, retrieving the firmware is mostly straightforward.

Created a Word Clock for the 9.7" E-Paper Display which utilizes the OpenEpaperLink Project The Python script creates the Word Clock image and does a post request to the OEPL AP which will upload it every 5 minutes to the display Code can be found here: github.com/OpenEPaperLi...
