I remember the guy started working on military defense but i didn’t know he founded his own military defense company named after the lord of the rings with the help of peter thiel. Also i wasn’t aware his company is now producing an arsenal of surveillance weapons and leading the sector.

    You know how a lot of DIY gadgets have slogans like “trans rights are human rights” on the circuit boards? I wonder if the Modretro has some fascist slogan similarly inscribed. Perhaps “Deus Vult” or some particularly authoritarian Bible verse number, or maybe just a couple of plausibly deniable 14s and 88s.

      I repaired an original SNES controller last night, and a couple places on the circuit board there were arrows pointing to unoccupied pads that looked like they were for SMT resistors with the legend “Only P” which I couldn’t quite parse.

      Also, cool detail: The inside of the top cover had a legend stamped into it that told you where each color went for both the US lilac and purple, and the international four colors.
