📰 Apple lands 81 Emmy nominations.
Congratulations to the Apple TV+ shows and movies, especially Slow Horses, which received five nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actor, Sir Gary Oldman.
It’s truly a gripping spy thriller series that deserves to win every single one.

We should show the same respect to the US President that we showed to the French President just five days ago.
This stinks of a snub from those in Parliament who simply don’t like Trump.
He is the US President, whether you like it or not. The American people voted, and we should respect that.

🎄 Day #12: Dazzling Displays!
For the final day, we added a 16x2 LCD (with an I2C backpack), brought back our RGB dot strand and temperature sensor. We displayed the current environment data and had the program pick colours for the strand.

🎄 Day #7: Time to Slide!
Today, we added a slide potentiometer “slider” to the build. We changed the LED colours, fades, and flash speed. We used the ADC pins on the Pico to turn the signal coming from the slider into digital.

How does the @deathinparadise.bsky.social brand keep putting out awesome shows? I was a little worried about #BeyondParadise when it was announced, and a bit more about #ReturnToParadise. However, each brings its own charm to the brand, it’s perplexing how they manage to nail it each time.
