All we need is a single toggle that removes AI and bot generated content, and I'd be so happy

Someone at work asked me to explain #NodeRED and how messages are being sent between nodes. Little did they know I already have a great article on the subject!

A few weeks ago, I built an energy monitor for my smart home. It helped me understand how I consume power and reduce my electricity costs.

Smart ePaper display for Home Assistant - NotEnoughTech
I got this lovely SeeedStudio XIAO 7.5" ePaper display, and I wanted to visualise my energy consumption in a less limiting way. Thanks to Home Assistant, ESPHome and some cool tricks, I made it happen

The release of #ArduinoUnoQ and the acquisition of @officialarduino.bsky.social

#MercuryK1 is an excellent keyboard, but can we all please go and bother #GravaStar for some UK layout keycaps so I don't look for punctuation marks for 30 minutes, before giving up and using Win+Space?

And yes, it supports custom drinks and ordering for the friends you may tag along with you!

Instead of chasing record speeds, I built my #3DPrinter to be absolutely silent. You CAN have an uninterrupted family life or focus on your next design in blissful silence.

There is something magical about using your face imprint to unlock the door. I have been using it for 3 months, and I no longer take the keys with me. Works great and with redundancy built in, I don't worry about lockouts! Thanks #SwitchBot

There is something satisfying about using #epaper displays for work. #reMarkable keeps my docs organised, while @usetrmnl.com dashboard keeps me on top of my schedule. All this without writing a single line of code!

I love 65% until I need to enter 2FA numbers, then I hate my life choices.... Actually, this could be a nice project. A desk with a hidden numpad. For when you need it :)
