      I was explaining to my wife the concept behind the word “hacker” then I’ve read this.

      This is a wonderful example. Thanks for posting it. (and too bad, they don’t sell Thinkpad Nano anymore, at least in Europe)

        A really clean solution! Did the experience with EasyEDA do anything to reduce the dread in designing PCBs?

          It did! The JLCPCB integration is pretty nice because you can check stock on components while choosing them and quickly view datasheets of any part.

            That’s great to hear. The JLCPCB integration sounds useful. I probably should try out the JLCPCB plugin for KiCAD next time I’m making a board for similar integration.

              This thread reads like guerrilla marketing.

                Could be, or that two members of this community are discussing about something cool! Also, for your information, jcs created lobste.rs.

                The web has made us paranoid :/

                  Maybe you’re the paranoid one. :)

                  I read ~dhnaranjo’s comment just as a funny remark.

                    That was my intent.
