Well even if the world goes to shit, you at least will be one of the first books published after it goes to shit.

Something for all of us to take our minds off the world (even if the book's subject matter can feel close to home)

The context really changes the mood. Twilight in the forest? Cryptid. Rave? Technobird

Especially true is that the power savings on an internal combustion engine car (ie the vast vast majority of cars with incandescent bulbs) is effectively nothing. Everything in that system is designed for a filament bulb, don't change what isn't broken. Plus the bulbs are easy and cheap to replace.

I still imagine using your nose as a page turning aid would be handy for them

CD-RW support is quite a neat feature on there. Guess I never saw a pure CD-RW audio recorder before

How do I know that what you think blue looks like is the same as what I think blue looks like?

We've just been taught to associate what we see as a certain colour with the name blue

With 5x 10x10cm boards from JLCPCB costing $5 CAD shipped, there's not really all that much to save. Especially as a hobbiest

The price of the microcontroller really isn't the problem, the design uses the STM32 "bluepills" dev board that until the Pi Pico came out was basically the cheapest dev board you could get from eBay/AliExpress.

The idea with the design and using one is avoiding any harder SMD soldering

That card slot and stuff you mentioned before makes me think satellite hacking/cloning.

That elan processor is quite powerful though, got a full 486 in there

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

Had to donate some myself. Hopefully some others can step up last minute to let them hit their $1k goal for charity

Final chance to donate to Team Calfurry at tomorrow's Mutt Strutt 5K Run! Right now, we're a little under $500 raised as a team! Help @lonetiggs.bsky.social & me support the Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society on their mission! raceroster.com/events/2025/... Thank you for your generosity!

ICYMI: This is one petition Canadians do NOT want to miss. This is not your average Change-dot-org petition. This is the kind that could lead to serious changes against paypro censorship

www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.
