mjwACTION is hitting the tracker every 5 minutes. Doesn't seem to help to get it here faster. But I am so excited! :)13:45
mntmnhaha mjw, you got a tracking notification? did you get it from crowd supply?13:49
mntmnthe first 8 packages were sent out a few hours ago13:49
mjwmntmn, yes, Subject:Your Crowd Supply order (97170) has shipped!13:51
mntmncool!13:51
mntmni transmitted the tracking codes last night13:51
mntmnso that seems to be working, then.13:51
mjwmntmn, The crowdsupply email was a little confusing, since it seems to imply it came from the US, but clicking the tracker link said Shipped 03/18/2021 12:35 P.M. Berlin, Germany13:52
mjwSince then I have been clicking like mad to see if it moving :)13:53
mntmnok cool13:53
mntmnwhich country are you in?13:53
mjwI am in the Netherlands btw. If things go well it should already be here tomorrow.13:53
mntmnah, so you're #1 i think13:53

mntmn(of assembled reforms)13:54
reverbdogACTION is jealous!14:28
mntmnmore are coming!14:29
mntmnmnt reform factory is going brrrr14:29
reverbdogi'm probably like last of assembled reforms... that were ordered during the campaign, anyways14:29
reverbdogmntmn: i love that product shot you put together with windowmaker running. windowmaker was my main desktop for some years when i was a teenager, nice little rush of nostalgia. it's pretty classy.14:32
mntmncool14:32
reverbdoglooking forward to giving sway a shot though14:33
reverbdogmntmn: just curious, how many assembled reforms were ordered during the campaign?14:34

lastebilmntmn: btw onnea  (congrats)15:11
lastebilI'm swamped as usual, but very happy for you15:12
mntmnlastebil: thank you!15:30
mntmnreverbdog: hard to say yet, as we've just figured the basic processes out15:30
mntmnthere has to be some rework because the board house has introduced tiny problems in some PCBs15:30
mntmnburnt connectors, bridges/shorts15:31
mntmnin a percentage of PCBs15:31
mntmnso we need to find these15:31
lastebilooh mjw may get his tommorrow, cool15:31
lastebilI guess we'll see the first differences 'in the wild' between the beta 8 and final then (:15:32
mntmnmore members in the reform club ^^15:32
mntmncool!15:32
lastebilI should make a 'beta 8' logo for we 8 (:15:32
ehmryI managed to install windows 3.1 the other day https://www.spam.works/uploads/win-3.1.jpg15:34
mntmnehmry: haha nice! in dosbox i see!15:39
mntmnehmry: what happened to your F keys?15:39
ehmryyea, this recompiler is great15:39
mntmnehmry: recompiler?15:40
mntmnehmry: is there a dosbox with JIT for arm?15:40
mntmn(i recall there was something??)15:40
ehmryi think dosbox has a dynmic recompiler15:40
ehmryI'm wear-leveling the beta keycaps15:42
mntmnehmry: lol i almost thought so15:43
mntmnehmry: you should upgrade to the new keycaps. i should also offer them15:43

mntmni also recently used my 2013 mbp again and it felt pretty strange15:48

reverbdogi'm surprise those PCB bugs aren't easily found by the manufacturer20:41
reverbdogsurprised20:41
reverbdogi mean i know the discrepency is probably just related to scale but i remember seeing a little documentary on some motherboard manufacturer, and they had some step where they snap a very high res picture of the board and do some software analysis20:44
reverbdogautomated of course20:44
reverbdogbut yeah that does sound potentially labour intensive20:46
reverbdogesp when the bugs are in different spots20:46
mntmnyes it's called AOI21:13
mntmni'm pretty disappointed in them this time... 10-15% error rate is really unacceptable21:13
mntmn(it's pcbway)21:13
mntmnif they're simple bridges we can easily fix them of course21:13
mntmnbut need to find them21:14
+ alex4nder (~alex4nder@38.126.71.49)21:16
reverbdogyikes yeah21:21
mntmni think i found the root cause. i didn't set the solder mask clearance to 0 in kicad21:37
mntmnand nobody ever complained about that21:37
mntmnso i think it's mostly my own fault for making their job harder, but it's also strange that they didn't complain21:37
reverbdogi don't know what that really means but ouch. i've felt that sort of pain with large printing runs and print shops21:39
reverbdogwhen it's just like, a checkbox that needed to be flipped21:40
reverbdogbut yeah, they're supposed to be the experts - would it have been easy to detect on their end?21:40
mntmnyes, it was literally just setting a number in two text boxes to 021:43
mntmnyes it would have been very easy to detect21:43
mntmnlike, without making anything, just by looking at the mask layer21:44
mntmnnow that i've had this pain i will always see it ^^21:44
reverbdogreally frustrating error rate21:50
reverbdoglarge enough to mean lost $$ but low enough that it only shows up when you make a bunch21:50
mntmnyep21:52
mntmnmost of these are easily fixable when spotted, it will just take extra time21:52
reverbdogthat's good21:52
reverbdogit doesn't affect the quality of the soldering otherwise?21:53
- odnes_ (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (~odnes@109-178-158-163.pat.ren.cosmote.net)21:56
mntmnno, it doesn't21:56
mntmnit just makes solder bridges more likely to happen, if they don't have this extra barrier to cross21:56
reverbdogif you need any help with menial stuff like this, i.e. visual inspection, i have too much free time and no need for compensation22:03

mntmnex-parrot: yes!22:05
ex-parrot\o/22:05
mntmnreverbdog: thanks, a kind offer, but i first need to get a better feeling for the scope of the problem22:06
ex-parrotI have been wearing my Reform shirt around town, it has received a few positive comments in the local hacker scene22:07
ex-parrota lot of people seem to appreciate how much the MNT logo is like a schematic resistor22:07
mntmnha, that's cool!22:08
reverbdogyeah for sure. i hope for your sake no help is required! heh22:10
ex-parrotnovena had some problems with soldering on the larger connectors too, the RAM in particular a few units went out with dodgy soldering :/22:10

reverbdogsome redditor made a comment in bad faith about the name MNT- My New Thinkpad. but i thought it was sort of apt22:42
reverbdog(i guess the same people don't see beyond the thinkpad's infamous unchanging style)22:43
reverbdogor does it actually mean My New Thinkpad??22:44
ex-parrotI have enough thinkpads*22:44
ex-parrot* according to other people anyway22:44
ex-parrotI would be surprised22:44
ex-parrotthe name predates the Reform project considerably :P22:45
reverbdogwhat like, /mnt?22:45
ex-parrotI just mean mntmn's name / company predates Reform22:45
reverbdogah right22:46
alex4ndermntmn: hey,.. looking at the reform schematics, I'm trying to think how I should hang an LTE modem off of the internal USB infra.. I was thinking of adding a small USB hub for the trackball/keyboard, and then hooking up the LTE module to the freed-up USB_INT*22:46
alex4nderdoes that make sense, or would you do it differently?22:46
reverbdogyeah i would also say the last laptop i've been as excited about would be thinkpads. i'm going thinkpad -> mbp -> reform22:47
