My Digispark board won't show up in Ports tab in Arduino IDE (OSX)
I don't think it is supposed to. The Digispark briefly connects in "bootloader" mode, which you spotted as "Vendor-Specific Device:".
Then after 5 seconds it runs the loaded sketch. If your sketch ...

Problem with programming digispark ATtiny85 board with Arduino IDE
i=i++; //increment by one
The result of the above statement is not defined. That is, it is not necessarily "i + 1".

Why do DigiKeyboard.print and println change my string?
The problem is your keyboard layout.
The USB HID protocol was originally intended to include keyboard layout information in it (country code selection in the descriptor) however no one ever used it. ...

Safe to solder a slide switch to unused GPIO pins?
Yes, you will lose the USB connection, since PB3 and PB4 are used for the USB communication. Normally you wouldn't solder a component directly onto a board if it doesn't fit with all pins. Instead you ...

Flashing an ATtiny85 with a NodeMCU?
It can be done. Your Digispark has SPI pins, which are ISP pins. For the esp8266 there is an ESP8266AVRISP library for OTA upload to AVR. You can use the example of the library.
You must wire the SPI ...

// etc...
}

Digispark Micro (ATTINY85) not working on Macbook Pro 2016

Can I connect an SD card shield to Digispark ATtiny85 board?

Measure small capacitances with ATtiny85 (Digispark board)
The reason this doesn't work is that PB5 is pulled high (as it's used as -RESET pin on the board). The code can be rewritten to use only one ADC pin though.
