Ridiculous project of the week: Unhappy with the 2MB storage limitation on Pico Zero and Tiny boards, I decided I needed more. A random discarded 16MB chip should enough!

There is cruelty, and then there is Team Cherry.

Hackday at @golioth.io and @szczys.bsky.social is spreading propaganda that I endorse.

Do I need to start adding "I am a real person" to the bottom of emails?

I think @golioth.io may be the first custom Brick in @officialarduino.bsky.social App Lab 👀 We make use of both the BLE and Wi-Fi connectivity on the UNO Q to proxy data for BLE peripherals, stream data from attached sensors, and perform network-based positioning with Golioth Location!

Just explained to my son why we can't fast forward live (over the air) TV. Usually we watch everything recorded so the concept of "live" seems completely unrelatable to him.

Friends, I am watching baseball for the first time starting in inning 8. How can such a slow game feel so stressful?

@golioth.io ⚡️ @edgeimpulse.com ⚡️ @nordicsemi.com Working on a fun project with @szczys.bsky.social this weekend combining Edge Impulse gesture recognition models with Golioth Bluetooth connectivity, running on an nRF52840 connected to the Tikk board (by @chrisgammell.bsky.social) for LEDs and IMU!

Throwback Thursday: The first thing I did when I got a car with a USB port was see if I could connect a floppy drive to it to play music. I could! Granted, I did have to build a custom disk image by hand, since the floppy disk had to be formatted as if it were an SD card and not a floppy.

This was super interesting and I don’t know if I entirely agree with all his conclusions, but I do agree with the trends he’s identified. youtu.be/FjV3tkrCYIY?...

USB-C PD enables fast charging with fixed & programmable voltage outputs. Using Bus Pirate + AP33772S, I found charger labels don't always match actual PD profiles. This laptop charger lists 5/9/15/20V, but also supports 3.3-21V programmable output—unlabeled. More below..

Use the Bus Pirate `ddr5` command to read, write, unlock, and hack DDR5 SPD contents. Find extended profiles and other hidden data in the unused EEPROM blocks.

London Bridge station has a new clock and, shockingly, it is both practical and attractive. It is huge, easy to read, and represents the seconds with the version of the double headed arrow logo rotating around the outside edge […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more: adventofcode.com/2025/about#f... adventofcode.com/2025/about#f...

Harvested a cool display this morning that should be fun to get going. :-) 40X2 VFD, 8.5"X1"

Bed of nails programming jig and tester coming along nicely. No actual programming or testing implemented yet, but the presence switch and LEDs are working 😀 The linear toggle clamp is so much better than the cheaper pivoting toggle clamps I've used before.

I'm getting to the "Hurt me plenty" part of #HollowKnight #Silksong

This baby is MareNostrum 5 in the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre. Ranked 11 on top-500 and it has plenty of blinkenlights to prove it. I got to see it yesterday. The GPU racks are the ones closest to the camera with the CPU ones (with more leds) further back. https://top500.org/system/180238/

Today we are launching support for device signed URLs on @golioth.io! Almost everyone uses signed URLs on a daily basis to access private content on CDNs, but they can also be useful in the context of complex multi-protocol embedded devices. Read more: blog.golioth.io/signed-urls-...

Awesome Bluetooth board that can be controlled from anywhere via @golioth.io! Hardware and firmware courtesy of @chrisgammell.bsky.social and @szczys.bsky.social — perfect little digital signage for the office.

I'm finding this #Silksong #Boss called Sister Splinter quite tricky. Especially because I get boxed in by her minions in the second phase.

I beat the first boss in #Silksong How is this game both totally chill, and yet tension-filled? youtu.be/RZisvOvoFoY

Has anyone actually been able to buy Silksong for PlayStation? I don't see any button to purchase www.playstation.com/en-us/games/...

Microsoft open-sources its 6502 version of BASIC from 1976. Microsoft’s 6502 BASIC ran on the same CPU that powered the Apple II, Commodore 8-bit series, NES, and Atari 2600. Details here 👇 www.theverge.com/news/771120/...

hollow knight feels kinda special to me in that i didn't play it until 2024, and then i was like. oh. OH. this game does EVERYTHING i love in a metroidvania??? multiple valid progression paths at any time? opening shortcuts dark souls style? a million different pieces of equipment and powerups?

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

OMG Noah Hawley, what have you wrought? If you're not watching Alien Earth, what are you even doing?

TIL you can just yolo your own RISC-V instructions.

I don't remember ordering this JDI MIP display (like an off-brand SHARP Memory LCD), but drunk Aliexpress Kevin really knocked it out of the park on this one.

More open source hardware! This one is a smaller add-on board, but in service of making lots of #bluetooth nodes that connect using Golioth's Bluetooth-to-Cloud service. blog.golioth.io/open-sourcin...

Hahaha, I love this photo of a snake nerd researcher from the Phoenix Herpetological Society using a fake leg to step on rattlesnakes & see how likely they are to bite. He "stepped" on 175 of them, and was bitten by only SIX. Snakes desperately want to just get away! 🐍🧪 www.npr.org/2024/05/17/1...
