Love this

I bought new memory for my sons laptop… this must be the new transparent version …. Package does not look like it was opened, but someone evidently has some new memory!!!

My amazing friend @rayredacted.com is helping me give free soldering kits to the youth at @defcon.bsky.social - and any extras are going to be given to random folks I see in the hallways! If you want to help hit up Ray and he'll match your donation:

Getting a bit of retro fun in today. Got my retro collection out of storage (too expensive now) and doing some sorting… ok playing. After a quick head clean, glad to say the disk drive works. #retro

It’s a hard life but someone has to do it 😁😎

Operation in progress. Patient in need.
CE-125, needs new battery and tune up. At least the printer is working now. Tape deck seems dead.

If you are finding @jclpcb parts parametric search absolutely rubbish, then try this site. Its pulls the parts catalog and has an accurate search tool. Seems they have way more parts available they their search would lead you to believe.

Hmm perhaps I need to check my of fan filters more often 😜

In progress: repair of a Sharp PC-1251 pocket computer-LCD screen was shot #retrocomputing

Look what just arrived. I had a great chat with Nordic Semiconductor at the Hardware Pioneers expo in London
They have kindly sent me two kits to cover BLE and Wi-Fi.
Thank you Nordic 😀😀

Analog Devices was kind enough to gift me this AI Cube to look at when I was at the Hardware Pioneers expo yesterday. Looking forward to it. Thank you 🙏

I saw these at Hardware Pioneers Max in London yesterday. I really liked the concept and if it can be integrated into other feeds of data (ie from Home Assist or others) then it could be a really fun way to visualize the health of your environment.

I just find these things to be very freaky

Fireside chat with Eben Upton , CEO of @raspberrypi.com 😀 at Hardware Pioneers

Great talk from @edgeimpulse.com about cascading ML models in edge computing #hardwarepioneers

Sneak peek at Pixelblaze Buddy Boards! These interface with a Pico and provide direct soldering for pebble strands, and support any strip via a connector or wires. Convenient USB-C breakout for power. Wired to a 4-pin pebble strand with backup data, then a 3-pin tape strip. @bhencke.bsky.social

Load testing the power supply. All working as expected

OMG! Spot the error!!!! How on earth did both ECR and I miss this 🙈😳 #Electronics

Test boards for my dual power supply arrived today. I fixed a few issues and made other changes from the first set if boards. Hope these are ok

I remember it very clearly.
I had one teacher who just had a pan with the jelly… we would come up one at a time with a plank page, press it into the jelly pan and hay, presto… a worksheet appeared.
Ok, I need a nap now.

Ai (chatGPT) seems to be quite good at abstract requests when it comes to drawing, but accurate drawings seem to be an oddity. I gave it clear text, so why on earth did it mess up some of the wording.

I’m surprised it lasted so long. I still use it to call voip phones overseas.

Truncated Icosahedron project rev. 2 is in progress, and I'm much happier with this version. It's less (but still somewhat) fiddly to assemble and has 3x the LEDs!

Well, I've finally relaunched my MZ-80A website:

mz-80a.com

Still some work to do on it really but wanted to get it out there as the main site has been down / under construction for absolutely ages now.

Great work 😀

I’m banning my cat from my office. He just loves chewing on jumper cables!!😡

First little design after moving from F360 to FreeCad. Got there in the end - Its a large jump and a lot more fiddly/unpolished than f360 , but as a free product its really good.

I was on Embedded.fm podcast this week, and very much enjoying talking (rambling) about a wide variety of topics with Elecia and Chris

I’m almost ready to start this course….
