Rouler votre propre stylet iPad avec un crayon de rédaction
Branden écrit avec le conseil suivant pour créer un stylet iPad rapide et sale:
I saw your cute DIY hack for the Cars iPad toy and it reminded me of a quick trick for creating an iPad stylus. When all the hacks were floating around the internet right after the release of the iPad, I skipped most of them. They all involved stuff like soldering, drilling, winding wire, etc. Not fun.
A super easy way to make a stylus is to simply take a small piece of conductive foam and pinch it into the lead holder in a metal drafting pencil. You might need to experiment with different drafting pencil bodies to get it right but all of the ones on my desk work fine.
Nous avons des crayons de rédaction sous la main; il ne nous reste plus qu'à aller creuser dans l'atelier pour trouver de la mousse conductrice. Bon conseil Branden!
Recycler et organiser vos câbles tous à la fois
I’ve been using this trick for years, ever since I saw it on the tubes. I keep all my infrequently uses cables organizes with paper towel and toilet paper rolls. It’s simple really… you just gently fold the cables and tuck them in the tubes. After that you can stack the tubes (like canes in a shipping crate) inside a cardboard box. I have a couple filing boxes of neatly organizes cables in my office closet.
Au fil des ans, nous avons utilisé diverses techniques, notamment des cravates et des sacs Ziplock, en ce qui concerne la vitesse. Cependant, cela bat certainement les deux.
Antennes Wi-Fi bon marché bricolage
Isela écrit avec le hack Wi-Fi suivant:
I was looking at my local electronics store for some Wi-Fi extending antennas. They wanted $50 for a high-gain pair! Since I only paid $50 for the router it seemed pretty silly to pay another $50 when I could just buy another router and set it up as a repeater for that price. I went home, did a little Googling, and found this video where a guy hacks apart one of those fancy high-gain antennas and finds that its pretty much the exactly same thing as the standard antenna except the wire is longer and has a set of coils in it. Using the video as a guide I pulled apart my existing antennas and with some scrap wire, a drop of solder, and a straw (he wasn’t kidding about the hack costing a nickel), I’ve got high-gain antennas! Score!
Nous sommes extrêmement tentés de séparer notre routeur. Nous avons tous les composants nécessaires: du cuivre, de la soudure, des pailles et un mépris sain pour les garanties.
