Lilbits: Xbox handheld, Nintendo Switch 2, Pixel 4a battery, and the return of Android lock screen widgets

The long-awaited Xbox handheld could arrive this year… but if the latest rumor is accurate it won’t be made by Microsoft and it may be more of a Windows 11 handheld with Xbox branding than a portable console.

In other recent tech news from around the web, if you were wondering why Google issued a software update that cut battery life for the Pixel 4a in half, now we have an answer: to […]

M5Stack Cardputer v1.1 is a tiny 56-key computer with an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, IR emitter, and a 1.14 inch display. Compared with the original it brings an updated processor, improved wireless, and stability and usability enhancements. https://buff.ly/OB53FaC #Cardputer #M5Stack

Creative mess. Yesterday I added a Grove connected IR receiver to test the Bruce firmware capabilities on #M5stack #cardputer. Cloning remotes around the house is oddly satisfying. #esp32

I'm having a lot of fun running some graphics demos on my Cardputer uLisp machine.

My experience with the Cardputer:

Obligatory doom on a M5Stack Cardputer. I am amazed how much stuff is already available for this little thing. #opensource #community #m5stack #cardputer #esp32

I got myself a little present. About to explore what can be done with this 'beast'.

A good workaround finally allows me to use the Cardputer uLisp Machine, a lovely card-sized microcontroller system that runs uLisp. If any Emacs wizard has any advice on how to fix the remaining minor echo issue mentioned in the post, I'm interested.

So this arrived. Feels really solidly built, and took 5 minutes to set up M5Launcher. Now to try out the assorted firmwares! #cardputer #m5cardputer

Forgive me, I know not what I am doing.

While wondering what I would do with my Cardputer, that didn't involve turning off other people's TVs, I had the great idea to hook it up to my Moog Mavis synth.

In #Cardputer news, I managed to write a UIFlow (bastardised micropython) script that shows the time and changes the background colour whenever I press the Go button.

Today I should be getting an NFC reader and DAC from The Pi Hut for further tinkering.

I am amused that most of the use cases for the Cardputer relate to "security testing" a la Flipper Zero.

What do you do with a new device? Run Forth on it of course #m5stack #cardputer

First little prototype addon for the #m5cardputer #cardputer I felt the tiny lanyard attachement point was way to flimsy and so have added a robust PETG lanyard plate using both the technics connectors and an extended version of the existing case bolt. Really rugged and can receive total overkill paracord! New #wearable unlocked! :)

Ooooh! Tiny #Cardputer is tiny. #LegoMargaretHamiltonForScale

Still tinkering on the #cardputer, I picked one of the ir transciever addons and have been playing capturing and replaying ir packages... and also showing my son the "TV B Gone" fun and games.

This toot written using #cardputer as a ble keyboard!

Anyone else get a delivery from The Pi Hut today? #Cardputer

My lovely little M5Stock Cardputer microcontroller system runs uLisp on the bare metal but I can't do much with it due to a showstopper issue. Here's my brief experience with the device.

Santa brought me this Cardputer uLisp Machine, a card-sized ESP32-S3 computer on which I flashed the uLisp firmware. It's really nice and quite capable, but I need to figure out how to reliably send Lisp code from Emacs to the device over serial.
