A few years ago I bought a Dell Latitude 3380 (i5 7th gen, touchscreen). It worked normally for a few months, but then it started randomly shutting down and immediately turning back on. I suspected the charger, but tested it and it was fine.
Eventually, it shut down again and wouldn’t boot normally anymore. At that point it could still enter BIOS, the touchscreen worked, the fan spun, and it charged normally, but BIOS reported “No bootable device detected.”
I tried multiple known-working HDDs/SSDs, but none worked, so I eventually put the laptop away for about a year. A technician told me the motherboard needed to be replaced.
Now I took it out again, and the situation has gotten worse: it no longer even displays BIOS. The power button lights up and the laptop appears to power on, but the screen stays black. However, the Dell LCD self-test works (D + Power) and the screen cycles through colors normally.
The battery and RAM are installed, and the charger works. I haven’t been able to find a replacement motherboard in Lahore/Pakistan so far.
Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this, or know where I could find a cheap replacement motherboard for a Latitude 3380 in Pakistan? I’d really like to try fixing it rather than throwing it away.

Hey guys, I’ve been building Consoly.

You get a code snippet and your job is simply to predict the output. 3 attempts, no coding.

It has:

• Daily challenges
• Dojo with unlimited practice and belt progression
• Multiplayer battles with friends
• Global rankings: daily, weekly and all time

I’ve been making videos of people playing it and this one was one of my favorites.

https://www.instagram.com/diegoveloper/reel/DZxg-yAR3qU/

I’m the developer behind it, so this is self promotion, just being transparent about it.

Would you guys play this? Feedback is welcome! :D

This is not a game engine. It's a closed-loop thermodynamic simulation. The boson acts as a heat source, injecting energy into a discrete network. Entropy constantly works to restore thermal equilibrium to 0.0. Motion is 100% deterministic, governed by the conservation of energy in every frame. No random function calls, no frills. Just a heat map that fades in real time.

code La-Matriz-Desnuda.py

In case anyone said that the ASCII code was hiding something for the randomizer

A boson, a lemniscate, and a conservation law. No libraries, no random number generators, no hidden variables. Just a mass field eroded by time. If you think it's random, you haven't seen mathematics.

Where's my random? ⧖

I grew tired of the digital prison of if-elseramas. I decided to stop pruning the chaos and simply let the silicon scream.

I built a branchless architecture that uses stochastic resonance to generate patterns from thermal noise. It doesn't pretend to be perfect; it simply seeks to exist. The result? Code that behaves as if it has technical leukemia: it constantly mutates and creates non-Euclidean forms that even I don't understand.

It's chaotic, inefficient, and illogical. If you're a purist, this will offend you. If you think you can refactor or debug it, good luck. But remember: the source dries up, but the mother doesn't.

Hey everyone,

I recently finished a side project and open-sourced it. It’s a Chrome extension called Blown Speaker Simulator. The premise is intentionally silly—it digitally degrades your browser's audio to replicate the acoustic characteristics of a rattling, low-quality trunk setup—but it served as a great practical exercise for dealing with the Web Audio API and modern Manifest V3 constraints.

How it works under the hood: If you've built audio extensions recently, you know Manifest V3 service workers do not support AudioContext natively. To bypass this, the extension relies heavily on the Offscreen API:

• Stream Capture: It uses chrome.tabCapture to grab the active tab's media stream ID.
• Offscreen Document: The stream ID is passed to a hidden offscreen HTML document where the actual audio processing happens.
• The Audio Graph: Inside the offscreen document, a BiquadFilterNode (lowshelf) isolates and aggressively boosts the bass frequencies (+28dB). This signal is then fed into a WaveShaperNode using a custom mathematical curve to apply heavy, real-time clipping/distortion without introducing perceptible latency.
• State Persistence: The distortion intensity slider in the popup updates the wave-shaper curve in real-time and persists the user's preference using chrome.storage.local.

The extension is currently pending review on the Chrome Web Store, but the full source code is available on GitHub under the MIT License. If you are looking for a working example of how to handle continuous audio manipulation using the Offscreen API in MV3, feel free to check out the codebase.

My daughter's learning how to drive a manual soon. Normal parents would probably just tell their kid to watch the dashboard tachometer or listen to the engine thrum. But because that advice failed/fails horribly with me (my spouse agrees) and/or I have a classic case of developer brain and an inability to leave weekend ideas alone, I spent my late nights writing an Android app that does real-time signal processing instead.

I call my creation gearsync, and hopefully i'm not violating any IPs with that name. Basically, it’s an advanced shift-light assistant that works completely offline with zero external hardware: no OBD-II dongles, no cloud, just a phone sitting on a standard dash mount.

The whole point is that new drivers get hit with massive sensory overload, so looking down at a tiny dial is tough. I wanted something high-visibility that triggers their peripheral vision, so I built a horizontal, segmented analog VU meter UI that fills the screen.

Originally, the backend relied entirely on the microphone running a hand-rolled radix-2 FFT (`findDominantHz` in the 20–250 Hz band) to capture the engine’s fundamental firing frequency. But real-world acoustics are incredibly fragile. Open the window on the highway, turn on the radio, or just start talking, and the FFT peak completely falls apart.

Naturally, instead of buying a cheap $15 Bluetooth OBD scanner like a sane person (and i already have unused claude code credits, along with an underutilized undergraduate physics degree from 22 years ago), I decided to fix this by drafting an ADR for a dual-path Acoustic + Vibration Sensor Fusion pipeline. The app now grabs high-frequency raw data from the phone's linear accelerometer, shoves it into a second native C++ DSP worker thread, and fuses it with the mic's estimate.

Since I'm terrified of JVM garbage collection jitter messing with my sub-millisecond execution targets, the entire core is buried in native C++ via the NDK. The pipeline is pretty ridiculous for a phone app:

1. The Nyquist Budget: A 4-stroke, 3-cylinder engine (like my Wigo's 1KR-FE) has a firing frequency of `f = RPM * 0.025`. Idle (~850 RPM) sits around 21 Hz, but redline (~6000 RPM) screams up to 150 Hz. To prevent aliasing, I have to poll the accelerometer at ≥ 300–400 Hz using `SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST`. If a budget device caps out at 100 Hz, the pipeline just gracefully degrades back to mic-only mode.
2. Jitter-Safe Resampling: Android accelerometer events have notorious timestamp jitter. The native worker has to linearly interpolate the samples onto a uniform grid before transforming, otherwise the frequency spectrum looks like absolute mud.
3. Harmonic Disambiguation: Car chassis vibrations are incredibly harmonic-rich. To stop the FFT from randomly latching onto a 2nd or 3rd harmonic, I'm running a concurrent native autocorrelation pass alongside the FFT window. If the fundamental period from the autocorrelation shows that the FFT peak has latched onto a multiple, the pipeline forces a correction back down to the true fundamental frequency.
4. Prominence-Weighted Fusion: The mic acts as the fast, responsive needle driver (85ms window). The accelerometer path acts as the slow confidence anchor (~1s window). If they agree within a 3% tolerance band, confidence boosts. If they disagree or the phone mount is loose and rattling like crazy, it automatically drops the vibration weight and falls back to the mic.

Once that fused engine frequency is locked, it maps against 1 Hz GPS speed updates to find the unique gear observable ratio (`r = f/v`). It uses a seeded 1-D K-Means clustering algorithm to constantly refine the gear centroids over time, and Welford’s Online Algorithm to stitch fragmented calibration data across multiple, non-contiguous driving sessions so it doesn't forget what 3rd gear is between short trips.

Everything from the transmission ratios to tire circumference can be tweaked via a local asset JSON (`assets/vehicle_config.json`) without touching the native layer.

Is this a textbook case of recreating a very simple wheel using an unholy amount of signal processing? Absolutely. But it’s a fun rabbit hole.

Code, architecture specs, and the ADR notes are over here if you want to behold the madness.

I'd love to get your thoughts on handling the latency mismatches between the 1Hz GPS updates and the fast acoustic snapshots, or alternative pitch detection algorithms that won't absolutely melt a phone battery. Or just poke holes at it, for giggles.
