In any Cloud firmware implementation make sure you can fallback to a know state if the cloud is not available. Could be a timeout,500 error, a failure because some new AWS trainee implemented a bad DNS or whatever. Then fallback and display what happened, retry later

Sarkozy room looks very good. For a room like this in Berlin you will pay at least 700€ monthly

ICYMI, here is the press release for my study with @drjuliawester.bsky.social - we surveyed over 800 scientists who use social media. They overwhelmingly agree that Twitter is no longer useful or pleasant, and that for all professional online scientist goals, Bluesky is superior.

A proud moment for power efficiency yesterday. I was able to get my nRF52840 ePaper badge to run well just using light sleep. It displays a clock on a 2.9" 296x128 EPD which updates every 10 seconds. With an average of 200uA current draw, it will run for several months on a coin cell.

Working hard to send my epdiy PCB unit number 100 in #Tindie (just 9 more to reach that milestone) In correos Spain there are new rules: max declared goods for customs 100 USD to USA. More than that and it’s rejected. It’s also subjected to scrutiny and might come back to me :(
