I entered one of their early contests with my very detailed worklog of building a complete pinball machine complete with custom designed boards.

If you'd rather read about it in a more traditionally website:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/star-trek-mirror-universe-pinball

Anyway; the project lost out to some really perplexing projects. I lost all respect for that "website" that day.

I can relate. I was a master of the $12 Thrush Muffler and any variety of muffler tape and hangar wire. Add a hacksaw (to work on that long front pipe that was rotting) and I drove cars (without getting pulled over) that had no right to burn petroleum products. Yeah, good times.

Oh Hackaday, dunno seems like there are a lot of parts to that. Sometimes it is interesting. I remember a chat with that hot blonde lawyer/poker player and a guy from a computer museum and a few others that were kind of interesting. More often than not it just features a link to the real product/site, and a never-ending variety of clocks.

I ain't seen anything like it, in any amusement hall.
Syntax Error:
The Hackaday website is an omnishambles. Possibly one of the worse functioning sites outside of the Amazon storefront. Certainly most projects should come with a health or safety warning. Perhaps Hackaday could add a category that reads, "x people were hospitalized by this project. Thumbs."

As for the makers on there? They're not cutting edge engineers with fellowships of the IEEEEEE-whatever, they are just makers making stuff . Stuff like this...

I suspect Moz powered his 'Internet in a box' using an Arduino running the blink sketch. Definately a hackaday project.
medical-nerd:
Hiya

I check out Hackaday a few times each day - I usually find a couple of articles that are interesting, especially the retro ones.
If you don't like an article just skip it. I'm sure most of us have subscribed to magazines to find editions that have no interest at all.

Hackaday.io however is a nightmare.

Cheers
