joschgordon1: confirmed, just USB D+ and D- is sufficient to combine pci-e from one the M.2 slot with usb for bluetooth on the intel ax210: https://mister-muffin.de/p/HZQS.jpg00:04
joschon the right in the pink 3d printed frame my current internal usb-hub00:05
joschbottom right a blurry quectel modem which will be connected to one of the remaining free usb ports of that hub00:05
joschusing the adapter i have from a311d i could put the SSD into the mini-pcie slot00:06
joschon rk3588 that would make the SSD slower than it could be but i would get internal bluetooth without a dongle in return00:07

murphnjI put the AX210 in my pocket with the RK upgrade, and it seems to work.  I asked about antenna placment for the two antennas here and in the forum, and no one has answered.00:58
murphnjWiFi is much better, and bluetooth seems to work as well.01:04
minutejosch: nice hardware hacking!01:43
minutemurphnj: glad to hear! i'm experimenting with BT antenna placement/models on the side01:43

joschminute: /o\ thank you XD -- like with everything new i have to start with baby steps which feel a bit silly with all the professionals in this channel but the hope is that i'll be a bit smarter later XD07:00
joschmurphnj: i'm wondering about the same thing and i have tried sooo many antennas and cards in my classic and pocket reform.07:01
joschmurphnj: the best recommendation i could give you would be for the classic reform: the square shaped laird antenna which beats the flat antennas hands down07:03
joschmurphnj: for the pocket, i always got frustrated how i could not really control where the antenna cables would end up after closing the lid, so i had a sheet of transparent acrylic laser cut:07:06
joschhttps://community.mnt.re/t/cable-management/401807:06
joschnow i can attach the antennas to that sheet and move the cables all i want and *then* close the thing up once i'm happy. No antenna is attached to the lid anymore.07:06
joschmurphnj: wifi/bt reception is fine -- i struggle with with LTE reception which i could only describe as "okay" when still and "terrible" when in a moving vehicle like a train. People next to me are scrolling ticktock videos while my connection drops all the time... :(07:07

orvaEvery time I see pictures of pocket in use I need constrain myself to not order one, yet. qcs sounds like so perfect fit for it that I think I want to wait till that11:54
orvaMaybe my favorite computing device ever was eeePC. It was underpowered even for its time (those early Atoms were lot slower than raw numbers would suggest), keyboard was bit wonky but it was so nice to carry around11:55
orvaAnd it was quirky in lovely way11:55
orvaPocket has same kind of quirky charm, but without the slow part11:55
gordon1josch: oh wow is that a little m.2 to mini-pcie that exposes usb?12:05
gordon1ah nevermind, it is the opposite, isn't it?12:06
Svpi had an acer aspire one - the first one, the zg5, with the atom n270 - in retrospect an excellently terrible machine, with the headache-inducing fan that always ran and the hdd right next to the speaker causing lots of issues...12:27
grimmwareI've still got 2 eeePC 701s12:29
Svpthe only fondness i have for it comes from it being my first actually personal computer, and even then i had trouble, as the bios would corrupt itself and refuse to start (???)12:30
Svpmany a ZG5IA32.FD were deployed12:30
Svpi definitely dont miss it these days, but every time i see an atom n270 pc around i think of it, like the eeeboxes i saw at a secondhand store two days ago12:32
murphnjjosch:  I love your idea for the antennas!  I'm going to do something similar, I didn't like the idea of sticking them to the lid, too hard to remove afterward.12:32
Svp(the only reason i didnt nab one for the novelty of it was because they were in lime and i wouldve rather a pink one)12:33

joschgordon1: yes (it's the opposite), it's the m.2 adapter with a connector to feed in usb from elsewhere that we talked about and i have the D+ and D- connected to a tiny usb hub13:28
joschi also still have a working eee pc here -- i use it as a screen for sheet music, so it's attached to the wall over the piano13:29
gordon1we need to get mini-pci m.2 adapter the right way, i wonder if i can put the connector somewhere underneath or somethig?13:29
gordon1too many adapter projects now13:30
gordon1(need to make CM4 to uConsole with audio codec also)13:30
joschgordon1: yes, it would be better to have such an adapter for the mini-pcie slot13:30
joschwickedshell: i just uploaded the package fonts-iosevka-term to unstable -- could you try if installing it fixes your font problems and gives you back the font you had before?13:53

mhoyeSo, I'm a very strong believer in restorative justice. 21:12
mhoyeI think that a moral people should consider incarceration a last and most rarely sought last resort of a just society.21:13
mhoyeBut people who do shit like that should be thrown in nerd jail forever. 21:14
mhoyeAnd if the morning dawns that we all come to our senses, open the doors of our prisons and start the long journey towards becoming a more just and fair society we should let them out last.21:15

joschgordon1: the changes from https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/25936 did the trick22:43
joschgordon1: trackstick is now working flawlessly22:43
joschi have it connected right now via the rp2040 with qmk and there is no drift, no jumping and when i touch it, movement is smooth like butter22:43
gordon1nice, that was pullup issue then i assume22:44
joschi didn't experiment with the changes from that PR yet, just applied everything22:44
joschmaybe it was the reset22:44
joschbecause i now have a third wire attached to also drive the RST pin22:44
joschthese are the changes i have right now to make it work: https://github.com/josch/qmk_firmware/commit/56d908063fc2641c6257c13ad23b8f072cb3757922:45

gordon1josch: does it feel weird when you have such a longer stick, or does it calibrate itself well?23:34
joschgordon1: you are asking the wrong person -- i have barely any feeling left in my fingers23:35
joschit doesn't feel like i'm moving the stick at all but i would have to fix the thing to a surface and maybe i can visually see it23:35
gordon1oh, sorry23:36
gordon1but i more ment about how the movement of the cursor feels23:36
joschi didn't spot anything odd23:37
joschfelt like with a thinkpad trackstick23:37
gordon1it's just the longer the stick, i would assume, the higher the acceleration of the cursor, unless it is compensated in the stick's firmware23:37
joschas in: the thing barely moves, you just slightly press against it and it starts moving23:37
gordon1ah, nice, good then23:37
gordon1yeah, it has load cells to measure the force, not movement23:37
gordon1so in ideal world it shouldn't move at all23:38
gordon1i mean physically23:38
joschyes, that's the impression i have but hard to say23:39
