Who remember this book? 😉

I’m evaluating GTD and task management apps for daily organization. Todoist seems like a solid option, but I’m not fully convinced yet.
Which tool do you rely on to stay productive?

I don’t want to be harsh on Espressif, but their tools packaging is a mess.
I’ve lived and breathed C/C++ (CMake, etc.) for 15+ years, and I’ve rarely felt so disarmed, frustrated, and disappointed as I do fighting with their toolchain.

working on a modest ANSI C compiler in my spare time. I would like to target microcontrollers. I'm up at IR code generation. While generating IR code is somewhat easy, I'm looking at ideas on how to annotate my IR to make code generation easier for banked arch like PIC18F/16F

What C compiler do you use for Microchip
PIC18F and PIC16F 8bit microcontrollers? @microchip-makes.bsky.social

A friend is offering to sell me an Agilent 34450A DMM for €300. Is this a good deal? Anyone here has experience with the 34450A or thoughts on whether I should go for it? or should I go for an HP 34401A (for almost same price)🤔 #DIY #Electronics

Amazing, how can they sell a 20.000 counts multimeter for as low as 21€ ??? 20 years ago such device would have costed 2000€

Acquired an Owon XDM1241. How the hell can they sell a 110€ multimeter with crappy probes? I even tried to clean them to make sure there is no residues of chemicals. How can you sell such a good measurement tool with so bad probes

Got a damaged Brymen BM231 multimeter. In voltemeter, it seems to read DC voltage correctly, but in ohm-meter, it shows erratic behaviour, sometimes 0L, sometimes 0MOhm, sometimes display flickers.
Do you know how can I explore and try to find the origin of the problem?

I'm considering resurrecting my old custom 6502 CPU board. What's the best toolchain these days for assembly, perhaps C development, flashing, EPROM emulation, maybe even debugging?

making kitchen cabinet plinth clamps. I'll print them in PETG and check if it works
