I treated myself to this bad boy on #cybermonday

While visiting #M5Stack HQ in Shenzhen, I got to talk to Julian (@jcarolinares on X) from @officialarduino.bsky.social team about their latest device #NessoN1 made with collaboration with M5Stack. We touched on #Qualcomm acquisition and the future of the open source approach.

Here is a little something I cooked up in ##Fusion360. I bought a TV recently which is now hanged on a wall. I figured, I could re-create TV leg interface and #3dPrint the stand-offs that hold my soundbar in place. The result in comments.

#MercuryK1 is an excellent keyboard, but can we all please go and bother #GravaStar for some UK layout keycaps so I don't look for punctuation marks for 30 minutes, before giving up and using Win+Space?
