Turns out it was a software issue. How the F do you manage to introduce a bug like this on a simple on-off sensor input in what should be a simple module of code that’s likely library functions? 🤦‍♂️

Racecar is my day to day automotive palindrome...that is, a street-legal one, which is good for smiles for every mile of fuel converted to the cacophony of high revolutions per minute and the sensations of acceleration and cornering grip...boring highway miles gladly handed over to a FSD system...

Excellent choice!

Not directed specifically at you and your choices, Nate but just a thought in even more general terms of #voteyourwallet and doing what I can to stop enabling our corporate overlords...

More general/unpopular opinion: maybe we need to rethink our media consumption and step away from the screens? Studios are pumping out so much "garbage" content vs. what's actually worth our time. I think back to when we rented media. 8+ on IMDB (probably exceptions for us SciFi enthusiasts).

I see knee-jerk hate and miseducation on topics that are not even political of nature on here. Humility and Dunning-Kruger effect is likely the biggest problem to tackle. Is there a way to get folks to check their level of understanding on a topic before tapping a pithy reply on the keyboard...

Those of us who have been on the Internet since oh, 1994, can remember when you had to write long form and mind your grammar/spelling to have a discussion on any topic. They were more civil back then, even when dealing with members having polar opposite opinions but willing to listen and fact check.

Downloading over modem was free...heck, probably a good amount of my floppy collection were next to nothing, almost free w/rebates or relabeled AOL disk! In retrospect, I did a LOT of things "myself" where I should have paid someone else, but then you don't have those experiences to talk about.

The dedicated 4U? Not in while. The Mac Pro can be racked. The software was like $30 at some point and went to discontinued and relevant components have been absorbed into core MacOS. What that app used to provide they have a FAQ to point you to third party alternatives.

Linux has definitely got Baskin Robbins beat in terms of flavors. 😂

OS/2 and BeOS were incredible performers. UNIX/Linux as well, once installation was something an average user could tackle. Alas, just abut every "Beta" attempting to unseat the juggernaut "VHS" of Microsoft lost out, despite being technically better.

I can't remember if I got the disk images off a BBS or via ftp to the SunOS box the local medical school granted us dial-up terminal access to <gasp> using X/Y/Z Modem to download. First commercial Linux CD I got my hands on was some flavor of Red Hat they gave out at a campus Comp Sci event.

Download 1.44MB image on 14.4k modem, write image to disk, label disk. Repeat 70? times. Installed to separate hard drive so I could keep DOS/Windows on the shared family computer. Then there was the tuning of the X config for your CRT! 😳 People have it easy these days!

Slackware Linux on 3.5" floppies ~1994. Linux is WAY better 30 years later but it still has its foibles. I have Windows, BSD and Linux VMs and have used OS/2, BeOS, and many others over the years...but MacOS is my daily-driver desktop ~2005 because I want something that "just works".

Flagged a few obvious bot accounts. Surely with what you have implemented or additional open source software can filter new accounts that hammer off the exact same spam in rapid succession get throttled/restricted immediately and those posts go "invisible" until account passes moderation...
