How you solder those without dropping a blob and causing a short is a mystery.

NFTs will keep their value forever…
Seeing all these comments on use of ACs… what happens if it cumulatively overloads the grid and you get blackouts?
Is there a Plan B?
Good to see proliferation of presence detectors. Good for turning things off when nobody is around.
In my last job I got to play a bit with the SeeedStudio mmWave presence box. What was interesting (and a little confusing) was that it took multiple add-on boards for things like on-device fall detection (for elderly). For the time I had with it, it worked fine with HA: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/mmwave_radar_Intro/
I could, but I personally feel anyone foolish enough to use my blathering deserves the unfortunate consequences.
My idea was for people who felt strongly about keeping their stuff away from the big maws of AI.
Scrape a bunch of Onion articles, link them together in an index, then post an invsible link from your home page that spiders will follow but humans can’t see.
Write a script to randomize the words on all the articles and link them in too. Then change the image tags to point to random wikimedia files.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that there’s very little quality control. Channel your inner Ken Kesey / Merry Prankster. Have fun.
They’re propping each other up.
All 418 error codes. We good.

That was amazing! Watched the video with my Trackmania-crazy kid. I’ve played it a few times but I’m total crap at it. We couldn’t peel our eyes off the action. The first external shot of the track shows how insanely difficult it was going to be.
If using pyenv to support multiple python versions, when creating venvs, make sure to pass --copies
to it.
% python3 -m venv venv --copies
Ordinarily, venv uses symbolic links back to the current version of the python binary. A lot of tools and IDEs don’t traverse symbolic links. That flag actually copies the real binaries over to the venv.
This avoids a metric ton of hard-to-diagnose misery later on.

That is actually kind of brilliant. Having to go through MFi and getting the Apple DRM chip into the manufacturing pipeline can be a real pain (and expensive).
With this scheme, they could also run all the wired on/off and volume control actions through Bluetooth AVRCP. Even have a Mic on the wire, so if a call comes in, switch to HFP to talk/manage the call.
Damn, that’s clever. Hats off to whoever came up with it.
Incidentally, there’s very little Apple can do to make this stop, unless they decide to break Bluetooth and third-party accessories.
I saw an exhibit on Octavia E. Butler at the African American museum in DC. Had heard her name, but never read any of her work. “Kindred” sounds really interesting.
Once I’m through my current reading backlog, I might just start going down this list over the Summer. Appreciate the posting.
Great stuff! Have read maybe a handful of those listed. Just in time for Summer.
There are browser userscripts out there now that do this automatically.
Missed opportunity to show the huge overlap with delicious Mexican sauces: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(sauce)
“Ancient Persians reportedly debated big decisions twice: once drunk and once sober.”
I tried to hand-solder a Hirose .35-pitch connector onto a custom OSHPark board once. Let’s just say it was a humbling experience. Thanks to a generous friend, I learned the value of solder masks and owning a home reflow oven.
Respect to whoever can do this sort of thing, but life is too damn short and my eyesight and hands don’t need the abuse.
