Starting a new .Net project. I get to choose the IDE. .Net 10 and VS 2026 it is!

Looks that Android is going Age Verification now. And app developers are going to have a duty in it, too.

I've read too many liability lawsuits. I look at think and only thing "They applied CYA to a failure to warn claim."

Taking pictures of the PicoCalc to see which one I like most.

This, right here! Sometimes I'm in environments where there might be a few days before I have connectivity, and I hate when my games won't function without an Internet connection. Why do I need the internet to play solitaire!?

Oh no! I'm out of space on my drive with my video footage!

Time for an upgrade!

Like others, I clap at the beginning of a recording session to more easily line up the audio recording with the one from the camera. I have a specific clapping pattern, and it unintentionally let me see I had imported the wrong audio for my video. In practice, this could be useful!

#Video
Three audio tracks shown in a video recording application. Two of the audio clips show the same audio from clapping. One shows different audio.

All right! 5,000 kWh! How many times can I charge my phone in a power outage with this?

After running `make && make install` I have my output! Now I need to see if I can link to it.

Hmmm....I was referred to a URL as a great embedding start. I go to the page and see this. This doesn't look promising.

This is my second least favourite way that a computer olds a M.2 drive. It extends beyond the motherboard.
The computer already had a 3 terabyte SSD that runs fast enough. I will hold off on reinstalling the OS. This drive will be used for other work.

Is there no std::putws in C++23? I just tried it out with Microsoft's compiler. Perhaps I need a preview edition of Visual Studio.

#cpp #programming
#include <iostream> #include <cstdio> #include <print> int main() { std::wstring salutation = L"こにちは！"; std::putc('x', stdout); std::putwc(L't', stdout); std::puts("Hello World"); std::putws(L"test", stdout); }

Experimented with a shot today for a coming Pi Pico video. I was trying to shift focus plane while the camera was on the tripod. But the vibrations from me manipulating the camera show throw. The camera does record from its accelerometer though, useful for stabilizing the video.

Clearly the best shipping option for the price is the one that will get my goods to me in 2 fortnights or less!

This Third-Party Pico variation has 48 GPIOs. I'm going to grab one to use with the Game Boy break-out board. If I use this variation, then I don't need latches to interact with the cart.

I usually make videos at 6K resolution and 50 FPS. YouTube only supports 4K and 8K. So these videos get converted to 4K. Probably a waste of bytes.

Video edited, thumbnail made. I'll post it in a week or so after I do a writeup. Not that someone needs to really be told not to do this. People can be fundamentally lazy and I don't think it is the general case that someone will decide to do this. Nevertheless

How in the world do you secure a drive in a vertical M.2 slot?
