Thank you! This makes using the Uno Q much less mucky
App Lab for the new UNO Q can be quite limiting. If you want to use the more powerful command line (CLI) to transfer and run projects, check out my guide here:

Literally just lectured about this!
In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

In the latest episode of The CircuitPython Show, learn about circremote from @romkey.com - one of the many things it can do is clean and de-crapify your drive, removing the junk files macOS and even emacs leave.
