Somehow I doubt the right lessons will be learned from this 😅

A tweet from @vx-underground from 2 hours ago "Chat, we are cooked Discord is being extorted by the people who compromised their Zendesk instance They've got 1.5TB of age verification related photos. 2,185,151 photos tl;dr 2.1m Discord users drivers license and/or passport might be leaked. Unknown number of e-mails"

Is this good?

It's fine, we all blocked off that whole weekend anyway 😁

A small correction on the Open Hardware Summit 2026.

DIY shield for Arduino Think you can do better? Design your own shield on the cheap with this DIY parts kit. You get a 3.2" x 2.5" (~ 8.1cm x 6.3cm) single-sided phenolic board with copper solder pads ...

Yep, quite amusing:

A forum post by Massimo Banzi from 2008: "I made that mistake, when I made the first arduino board. David Cuartielles took my first rectangular design , fixed a mistake (his first contribution) by applying the flying resistor you see. (photo of a board that has the components of an Arduino but a different layout and shape, silkscreen says "Wiring Lite) and turned it into this (photo of an Uno-shaped bare board with the text "Arduino" on it) when I put some finishing touches I managed to get the spacing wrong... We had 5 minutes before the deadline to go into production, the PCB guy was on the phone saying "send it now or it goes to next week" and we didn't have a name yet... they I said let's call it Arduino like a bar we used to go...there wasn't much time to think. Then I'm fond of the mistake... it makes it not perfect therefore more human... Yes...it could have been all perfectly optimised... but if engineers ran the world it would be an unbearable place where to live (smile emoticon) Massimo"

Happy 20th anniversary to the wrong header spacing in the Uno form-factor, btw.

Do I take these twice a week or once every two weeks?

I get that everyone thinks it's a funny little joke when Trump says nonsense about "trangender for everybody" (because really, wtf does that even mean?), but I gotta say that as a trans person, I find it absolutely fucking insane that he's constantly obsessing over trans people existing. It sucks.

Altium File Viewer, showing the solder jumper. The left pad is the ADDR line, middle is 3.3V, and right is GND. Not quite what one would expect. But maybe that's just me.

A photo through a microscope of the solder pads with the left and middle connection cut and some enamel wire used to short the left and right pads. Naturally...

That's right, make a nice hop.

A closeup photo of a pcb, a solder jumper with three pads is visible next to a text saying "I2C 0x2B". The jumper has the middle and left pads connected via a trace. The right pad is connected to the GND plane and looking yummy.

You see this and you want to change the I2C address, what do you do?

I feel like most of what Arduino is showing is actually ML rather than gen-AI, but since AI is the free money cheat right now, they have to say call it "AI" every 30 seconds.
Wonder how many anti gen-AI folks this will discourage because of the lack of clarification.

The 2026 Open Hardware Summit is coming.... to Berlin, Germany! On May 22nd and 23rd!! Still so much news to come here but we wanted to be sure you knew! For now you can enjoy the beautiful logo designed by @bleeptrack@vis.social and check out the site at 2026.oshwa.org

(livestream heard it first🤭)

In ancient times I did interview at Arduino for an EE position, but they were using Eagle and I love @kicad.org too much 😁

Do you think all this Arduino news broke early because americans in Qualcomm couldn't figure out the european timezone when setting the embargo? 🤔

Hmm, not quite form-factor, more like shield-compatible 🤔

Qualcomm to Acquire Arduino—Accelerating Developers’ Access to its Leading Edge Computing and AI

Welp

I really don't think Qualcomm buying Arduino is a good thing.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Taqo photos side by side, both have hands holding two identical 3.2" phones, one shows the fronts of the two phones with a touch screen and a home button, the other photo shows the backs with cameras and a HMD logo.

Turns out it's cheaper (and far more fun) for me to bulk order blank PCB from @jlcpcb.bsky.social than it is to purchase 1oz copper clad fr4. They arrived in about 5 business days!

in addition to coining the terms hypertext & hypermedia, Ted Nelson also coined the term "clanker" *in context* over half a century ago and i am LOSING MY MIND

Maybe not so breaking, was revealed at the start of the stream 5 hours ago 😁

Anyway, the Summit will take place May 22-23, 2026.

Breaking news from the @oshwassociation.bsky.social stream! The Open Hardware Summit 2026 will take place in Berlin :)

They should call it like Web 2.0 or something.

It's reading key presses over I2C in addition to USB

Going into week 4 of delaying a product release because I can't finish the SW for a feature that maybe 1% of the users will actually use 🫡

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD
