What I don’t understand is why nobody makes a foldable phone where it’s just two flat screens with an invisible bezel along one edge so they fit seamlessly together when fully opened.
It’s not like there’s a use case where you operate the phone half unfolded and require both halves of the screen to be seamlessly connected.
If the flexing feature wasn’t a gimmick and there was an actual use case for a foldable pocket iPad, someone would have released a phone like the Kyocera Echo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyocera_Echo to commercial success.
At my last job, every time they added or removed someone’s key card access, the system would reboot and everyone would be locked out for like two minutes.
We also had two floors that were connected by a fire stairwell, so you needed a card to re-enter the next floor.
At least twice my card stopped working in the middle of the word day while I was standing in the stairwell and I assumed that they just fired me and assumed I’d see my own way out.
Survived three layoffs at that company.
I wonder what the azeotrope for magically created alcohol is.
Yeah, it was a budget portable device released in 1995 running a processor from 1984. I think it was just written in straight assembly. I’ve even found some unreachable code snippets in the assembly that print debug messages which confirm that theory.
Thanks for the response!
I think the issue is that the “structured programming equivalent” is just a really, really long function that’s not any easier to read.
Good idea, but the ribbon connects to the other side of the connector.
See? I do t even know how many boroughs there are!
I mean every American is expected to know the layout of a specific city.
My point is that people in the US are kind of expected to understand the layout of a city that they may never have been to or maybe only visited as a tourist.
It’s only the “local map” for like 8 million of us.
I once sat behind a dude in line filling four propane tanks that he put in the back seat of his pickup truck.
Yeah, I figure I’ll provide the option of soldering, but I’d just like there to be some other method as well.
Yeah, the GVDCVG is ground, voltage, data, and clock. My board is going to sit between this ribbon cable and the part that normally connects there.
You do make a good point though. I was hoping for an elegant solution where this ribbon cable was the only connected component, but there’s a large exposed voltage testpoint exposed nearby. It’s 1.5mm wide and 3mm from the board edge. I bet I can find a miniature allegator clip or some other way to connect to that.
The iron would probably triple the cost of the kit. The ewaste being diverted here is a $17 vape pen.
Everyone needs to start somewhere. The goal of this project is for an everyman to repurpose some e-waste. Hoping to maybe inspire a few people to learn more.
The circuit in question draws a decent amount of current (probably like 100mA or so), so I thought it better to short the signal line than try to power it directly.
I’ve been using a Dell keyboard I got at goodwill for $4. It’s great.
Just asking because if it’s not some kind of metal (and something tougher than pewter), it’s liable to melt when it comes within a few cm of 2000F molten glass.
