I got a bulky tablet computer from ewaste and it turns out the operators of this tablet created an add-on which involved INJECTION MOLDING a piece to hold a USB serial adapter and USB HUB to the back of the tablet.

@foone Is it at least one of those special mobile-use HDDs that detects hazardous movement and parks the head(s) automatically to minimize issues?
-
@lispi314 I don't think so

I put it back together and put in the battery to try and charge it, but my one barrel jack adapter that matched the connector started, uh... melting.

@otte_homan @kenshirriff @foone Heh, I maintained one of the debian packages for driving these frobs for a while back in the day. They also had cheap wireless cameras - which were (as far as I could tell) analog 2.4ghz FM, completely destroying my house wifi (in the era of the Apple Airport and the Orinoco PCMCIA cards.)
(These days I do this kind of thing with Shelly Plugs and BLE - cheaper *and* CE certified...)

@eichin @otte_homan @kenshirriff yikes. Analog video over 2.4ghz? They must have destroyed the bandwidth of wifi devices!

@foone why do I assume your middle name is Bee, like that one episode of the Simpsons where Homer found out that J. was short for Jay?

@ajn142 heh.
Nah, my middle name goes the other way: it stands for "Benoit B. Mandelbrot" -
@foone but what’s the middle initial in your middle name stand for?
