To add, I found a thread of someone attempting to find use in the same router. They seemed to have made some minimal progress over the last year, but it doesn’t appear they have anything functional yet. Seems the processor has little known about it, and there is precious little storage onboard.
I guess my first question would be: do you have a need that device can fill, or are you looking to take on a project for some other reason (education, boredom, etc.)?
I honestly don’t see to what great use a router (and modem) that was discontinued a decade ago can be put that couldn’t be accomplished with less complication and less power draw by using a modern device. I’m not trying to rain on your parade, but knowing nothing else about your situation I don’t know that I can see any utility in a device like that anymore.
That was a fun read, thank you.
I honestly wasn’t super familiar with WebView until you asked!
It looks like WebView is a stripped-down browser, more than anything else. It can leverage different rendering engines depending on the platform, and on Android it looks like it leverages Blink just like Chrome.
Today I learned that I actually set up secure boot properly. Neat!
Breathedge.
It has a quirky sense of humor that I enjoy, but even if you don’t I think it does a great job exemplifying the solo space base-building, survival, and mystery genres.
I paid for Reddit Premium for years to help support the service and legitimately remove ads. If I remember right, it was around $4/month, so $48/year.
Why do you feel hydrogen is the future?
From my understanding, it’s more of a fuel than a storage medium so they kind of play different roles. On top of that, I thought it’s currently pretty difficult to store outside of pretty extreme conditions and the best way to create it at the moment is by burning fossil fuels (natural gas).
I’m not an expert, so let me know if I got any of that wrong!
Yeah, let’s absolutely get more renewables out there, but I don’t see how we can accommodate base grid loads without something like nuclear (especially when grid storage of renewable energy that isn’t consumed at the time of generation seems like a problem that will take a long time to solve).
The anti-nuclear stuff drives me nuts, and as we’ve seen with Europe and their general move away from nuclear (France being a notable exception) is that you can spin up all the nuclear you want but you’ll need more fossil fuel plants to handle base load regardless.
I agree with you, and I never said they were mutually exclusive.
My comment was on how, in my admittedly limited experience, people see stories like this and seem to accept that they may have no choice but to eat stuff like this in the future while making no change to their current choices.
This is the way.
We have solutions, or at least ways we could drastically improve things, but I guess folks would rather accept that they’ll be left with algae patties in the future rather than working to limit their animal consumption today. I don’t get it.
Thanks for those suggestions. I think some of the links are broken, but I’ll check them out if they’re still active!
Fantastic, thank you for all your help!
Thanks, that all makes a lot of sense.
It looks like pad 5/VCC is on the middle-left, pad 2/GND is on the middle-right, and pad 6/data is on the upper-left of the footprint when I open the hillside46.kicad_pcb file in the KiCad PCB Editor, click on ‘View’, and check “Flip Board View”.
As a sanity check, given the info above: it looks like I could rotate that ESD chip 180 degrees (so that the ESD chip’s pin 1 is on the lower-right pad of the footprint) and have everything work, correct?
I really appreciate your offer, and I’d totally take you up on it if @SurvivorBobXYZ hadn’t already provided a reply above. Thank you so much for all of your help!
I do think this may have more to do with the fact that Beehaw, my current instance, recently made the decision to defederate with lemmy.world. Is that assumption correct?

Hey, that’s totally fair and I am definitely of a similar mindset when it comes to reducing e-waste.
Do you have any significant coding or hardware skills?
