looks like even the apple logo in the appstore button is vibecoded.


Ha, that one's on me, not the AI - I made it in Canva myself. Apparently I vibecode by hand too.


This might be bit unfair.

App developers, can signal the OS when they believe is the right time to ask for a review, but it is the OS that decides to show the prompt. The app developer has no idea about your OS preferences and I don't think they deserve a 1 star review just because the OS failed to honor your stated preference.


If the app was relying on the OS to make the decision then you would never see the pop up. In my experience most apps bypass that entirely and show their own custom versions.


Easier than it sounds: the app runs a simple http server that serves cover art by track id. The track id is transferred via iOS's built in "Now Playing" metadata fields, which is then used by the device to construct a query and fetch the full resolution image.


Mostly YouTube and udemy courses. This one was pretty good in particular: https://www.udemy.com/course/high-speed-pcb-design-with-kica...

I've spend around a month on the PCB as a hobby, next to a full time job.


I am not using pipewire, just ALSA. AirPlay is (almost) always 44,100 Hz so there is not much to auto-switch to.


I buy them on AliExpress.


Every variant comes up as not available.

This is the listing, right?

Yes, this was it, looks like it is gone now. According to the CM3 datasheet [0] "Radxa CM3 will remain in production until at least Sep 2029", so there should be inventory hopefully.

I've been talking to them since before my first comment to you, and they are unable to sell even a single unit to a verified engineering team.

They told me that if I am willing to commit to at least 300 of the 4GB/32GB eMMC + BT/Wifi then they could produce them for me on demand.

I told them that it was insane to expect anyone to commit to developing a product around a platform that they would have to buy USD$30k worth of to see if it could (for example) support a particular display panel configuration using eDP.

Having this kind of chicken-and-egg problem is a quick way to doom a SoC, which is super frustrating because I definitely want to use it.


Just to be clear, I made a working prototype (and put a hyperbole in the title), I have a lot to learn still.

You can learn something practical like "embedded DisplayPort should be impedance controlled to 100 Ohms" without fully understanding the physics behind it.

AI can be very convincing. It told me to put the ESD protection as close the Ethernet connector as possible, so I put it between the port and the magnetics. This worked, but resulted in around 1% packet loss. When I moved it after the magnetics, I got 0% packet loss. This cost me a full revision, but I'd say this is the price to pay for not learning everything by the book.


> so I put it between the port and the magnetics

For GP: this is something you would learn from a PHY manufacturer's EVK schematics and layouts. TI (especially), NXP, Microchip show correct magnetics/ESD part numbers and placement - the trickier thing here is finding an EVK that doesn't just use an integrated MagJack.

Hey HN,

I've finally finished my dream music streamer featuring a vinyl-sleeve-sized square display, a custom carrier PCB for a compute module and a 3D printed case, running a custom-compiled kernel, Alpine mini rootfs and a small C app driving the display.

I did not think that this was doable by a hobbyist at all, let alone using free/open source software only (KiCAD, FreeCAD, VSCode). Turns out I was wrong!


This is an awesome project! I think it would be a great use case for a color e-ink display, I imagine it would consume way less energy.


This is super cool! Thanks for sharing :)


Congrats, that looks really neat :)

Do you have plans to make the project open source?


very clean and well done!


did ai help?


My passion project is an LP-sleeve-sized music streamer built around an ARM compute module, a custom PCB carrier board and an industrial 17" square display.

This is a really cool idea. Been thinking of a way to introduce my daughter to my old LPs without her wrecking the vinyl, and this might be a good compromise!
