Does this work more like the FlexNExT with a separate whole ensemble for the LED, or like the xSIID/NExT2 where itās some kind of power sharing thingy?
Itās kind of a mix. The Apex chip shares an antenna with an ntag i2c which has NFC functions turned off and only acts as an energy harvesting chip. That EH output powers a self-regulated RGB fader LED

I try to find ways of getting money to the original artists, but I go to the pirates to get the best quality experience. What use do I have for media that locks me out of being able to consume it in my environment of choice?
I highly recommend NewPipe, or yt-dlp on desktop (Linux, dunno about other OSs). They push the shorts because they know once they can get someone watching short-form, even if they donāt provide value to the consumer, content + recommend feed = highly addictive and coercive, ie more value to their advertisers. Switching from the recommend feed to NewPipe broke my YouTube addiction. The shorts didnāt even register on my radar.

Iāve been using yt-dlp for a while now. And I just started using NewPipe and itās great.
Yeap, jokes and memes only provide value to advertisersā¦
And Linux is awesome! Although I still use Winbugs for gaming, and the push for you to use a Microsuck account is starting to bug meā¦

This describes me a couple years ago way too well.
On desktop I just use youtube.com not signed in and I clear my browser regularly (weekly to monthly) to reset it, but when I switched to Newpipe on mobile and signed out of youtube on desktop? Good lord I didnāt think I had an addiction until it was gone.

Bambu NFC chip antennas sure look weird. The coil is clearly split across two layers and I guess that the method for making those vias isnāt the most reliable as they use 4 each time they want to make a connection between both layers. Also, I was expecting these to be embedded in the plastic instead of being a pair of stickersā¦
Anyways, Iād really like to throw a rick roll into my rolls of filamentā¦

Yeah Iāve been crazy swamped getting this out to you. Iām sorry for that. Iām working out a deal with another vender but it looks like Iām going to have some representation now at clackalackycon, Bsides Raleigh, and infoseCon. For those that go you may see some familiar products. Been pretty busy after Defcon.
Iām addition to that. Been dealing with some crazy drama
Wife and I are moving our bakery that we opened in March to a new location. We have had some ridiculous issues with the neighboring business and the landlord. Enough that weāre breaking our lease and moving the entire operation tomorrow. Itās a shame because itās roughly $20,000 we put into the space to bring it up to code and itās like weāre just throwing it away to get peace of mind returned to us.

No no, Not at all, you donāt need to send me anything, Apologies if thatās how you read my post above.
It was some testing I did, and simply documenting it for anybody interested in reading it.
I wasnāt even going to post it, but āfailuresā are as important to document as successā
Some things are worth more than money
