Idahoan 🥔 living in Finland 🇫🇮, working at Hamina Wireless. CWNE #233. I'm into old computers, retro videogames, 3D printing, and fixing stuff.https://bsky.app/profile/potatofi.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/potatofi.bsky.social/post/3mrim6dhzx22gRetro aesthetic.25 Jul 2026 19:31 +0000at://did:plc:achrrt3sla2hfec7336bmdrf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrim6dhzx22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/potatofi.bsky.social/post/3mp7rhethhc27Two different friends have texted me this week, excitedly telling me that they're about to buy a Bambu. I hate that the most polished and affordable 3D printer is also from one of the worst companies.26 Jun 2026 20:21 +0000at://did:plc:achrrt3sla2hfec7336bmdrf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp7rhethhc27https://bsky.app/profile/potatofi.bsky.social/post/3mowvg5zge22e#Pebble app update!

A Wi-Fi engineer at my table, having no idea about the history of Pebble past 2016, pointed at my watch and said, “Hang on. Is that a… Pebble? Why does it look so new?” The PT2 design clearly has classic #Pebble DNA! Nice work, @ericmigi.com!05 Jun 2026 10:30 +0000at://did:plc:achrrt3sla2hfec7336bmdrf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnjwnrtnxs26https://bsky.app/profile/potatofi.bsky.social/post/3mncnio7cic2rThinking about UI adjustments for low-resolution Pebbles (144x168) and #Pebble Time 2 (200x228). It’s tempting to just bump fonts by a few sizes (pictured), but I’m leaning towards bumping fonts by only one size, and increasing data density a bit. PT2 sure is a joy to wear.

It had two Wi-Fi adapters and a PoE splitter. I meant to intro it at WLPC, but forgot to pull it out from under the podium at the end of my talk. It got pretty hot, and took a long time to print, so I never released it.10 May 2026 10:07 +0000at://did:plc:achrrt3sla2hfec7336bmdrf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlijarwzn225https://bsky.app/profile/potatofi.bsky.social/post/3mlgq47bgc227From the archives: 3D printing back in 2013 with Printrbots.
