Apparently bots are stirring up resentment about Canadians on social media. Seems right out of the Russian playbook.

Can't believe it, EA have released source code for the Command & Conquer series of games - awesome, kudos to them for allowing these to be archived.

Living in a third world country it seems. Power been off since Friday morning, not expected to be restored for ANOTHER EIGHT DAYS! We’ve known this storm was coming for ~10 days before it hit and it’s only NOW that plans are being put in place to bring in extra engineers from Europe?!

Changed my profile pic earlier today as for the first time in 40 years I was reunited with the famous Ferranti ULA as used in the Acorn Electron, one of my first childhood computers. Looking forward to getting the old girl fired up after some repairs #8bit #retrocomputers

The worst thing about ordering components on Aliexpress? The amount of junk they email. My inbox has 300 odd emails from them since 29th November for approx. 25 components varying from eeproms to SMD caps & transistors. Their order tracking page is no better.

I'm amazed to see how much a 140m/47 storey wind turbine flexes under full power! The creaking and banging of the structure is surprising and alarming!

Looks really good Andrew! Any post processing or is that it as it comes off the bed? Seems some bad press with bambu but results they produce are excellent.

Any way to turn off reposts for a specific user? One spoiling it for all today with a flood of crap

I have been stung with this in the past, blew the PA in my FT817. 75 ohm BNC plugs have fractionally smaller pins. Most cheap cables online are CCTV surplus. Doubt CPC would've done this though. Is the coax marked as 50 ohm? Difficult to tell difference in plugs by eye

Awesome to see how much traction Bluesky is getting this week, won’t be long til I pull the plug on the “other place” at this rate!
