some pix from MNT Research crew visiting @republica's closing party yesterday, where we had a little gathering to celebrate our shipping of Pocket Reform and also the opportunity to show 'em to interested members of a different audience. it was very nice!

i have word that the first 18 MNT Pocket Reforms have started shipping to backers (non-hyper, black case, white kailh choc switches). anyone got a notification?

also, we have packed another shipment of 30 Pocket Reforms that's going out on tuesday (after customs clearance). that one also contains devices with Red Pro switches.

Microsoft suddenly going to town again with ARM/qualcomm surely will be good for us in terms of more arm64 software compat and Linux mainlining efforts for Qualcomm hw.

also, people who are tired of all these AI anti-features can be sure that the MNT Reform family will be free of that stuff.

MNT Reform Operator Handbook 2nd Edition is here! really happy with how it turned out, now printed on recycled paper by Pinguin Druck and it's also a bit chonkier than before. Props to @holo_memory for editing and partially re-illustrating this book with me, and thanks to everyone who contributed incl additional edits by @bnys and @liaizon

my hands showing and paging through a black A5 book. location outside, lots of concrete

today while fixing some MNT Reform Camera PCBs that didn't pass QA i encountered something i hadn't before: the via you can see in the middle of the photos has a drill hole which is offset to the north. this faulty via then connects two traces in the inner layers of the board, shorting them.

the same picture but with more magnification/zoom.

i was upset today because a tech journalist on fedi called MNT Reform's battery runtime "awful" (only almost 5 hours of playing a video fullscreen on youtube). not only because of the mean choice of words but because the runtime is the consequence of a conscious choice: LiFePO4 cells over LiIon. with LiIon we could almost double the runtime, but they are more dangerous (thermal runaway), worse for the environment (cobalt) and don't last as long (less charging cycles).

this apple vision pro teardown video by ifixit is fascinating and to me (very personal opinion) shows a nauseating amount of overengineering. i do not believe that computers should be this complicated https://youtu.be/JVJPAYwY8Us?si=0ZhPEQ7mbfPHDEkW
