One of the more ludicrous (but delightful) boards I was given at #Supercon was this one - the CapKey. It's a capacitive-touch keyboard the size of a keycap.
Would tag the maker, but can't seem to find him!

In #Florida, it's illegal to not #vaccinate your dog, cat, and/or ferret. It's considered by law to be animal cruelty.
Not vaccinating your children, however, is "doing your own research".

A little #RaspberryPiPico project with a DAC for sound effects, some lights, and a PIR for motion sensing.
Should be "fun" for the trick-or-treaters on #halloween!

This is mostly a thought experiment, and LEDs have long been used as useful indicators in oscillator circuits, but LED noodles can be a useful tool to help "see" what's happening in a circuit.

Heads up for any #Google #Pixel9Pro and potentially other #Android users. The Android 16 update seems to have fundamentally broken the ability for the GPS to get a lock in many situations.
Comparison between my ~20 yr old eTrex and my #P9P today - both with same view of the sky.

The depth of cognitive dissonance it takes to get upset about what someone says about the death of an edgelord you liked really makes my head spin.

I'm not saying I don't use AAA batteries very often, but...these are the ones I just pulled out of the battery box to use.
