I work at the office, at the customer and at home, which means dragging not only my laptop and equipment around, but also prototypes.
And I try (and manage) to go to the office by bike.

Bike bag #2 is empty 😃

Jeff Geerling, the affable and adorkable raspberry pi guy, was a misogynistic forced-birth tradcath extremist from at least 2009 to 2013, and as far as I know, still is today. Do not link to him and do not support his work. This is a matter of record on his own website […]

Apparently those Waymos can't avoid small animals. After killing a cat, one ran over a dog.

Also, they have learned passive voice from the police departments:

"Unfortunately, a Waymo vehicle made contact with a small, unleashed dog in the roadway. " […]

Every smoke detector manufacturers:
on low battery, let's make it beep every 30 minutes and not blink the red LED at a faster interval, so the owner has a fun time figuring out which unit is doing it.

My daughter insists I buy her present from a shop run by idiots.

They do not handle customs and duties but also do not tell where they ship from.

And they have a black Friday offer starting tomorrow, Saturday 🤷‍♂️

Step 1 - checking the cheap capacitive dual-button pcb, and a ws2812 led strip.

Even berekenen wat je verliest op je loon tegen je pensioen door dat gemorrel met de index .... Bij mij zou dat meer dan 10.300 EUR bedragen. En dat houdt geen rekening met een mogelijke hogere loonschaal waar ik nog in terecht zou kunnen komen door opbouwende anciënniteit […]
