Does anyone know how I submit a bug report to Microsoft Azure Team on their translation tool? I keep coming across problems - like Eng->Pashto - all strings are “Afghanistan National Cricket team”. Is nobody checking these lang pairs? Seen similar problems in Kurdish and other langs..

Who the hell would be crazy enough to buy this? Shaking hands with my friends? How did that reach the top of the pile for v1 must have features? I’m more concerned that this would “Memorizes your kitchen inventory..”.. “Memorizes your clean home layout”. Go on, cyber overlords. Take everything.

Adam did this marvellous reprint of the poppy mini trackball for a client needing a chin controlled trackball. This modification stops it falling out. It’s a win as the designs are all open source. @PKL@mastodon.social

I love ASL’s switches. And in particular, the ‘Egg’ Switch (who knew it wasn’t its proper name!). Anyway, I was chatting with Mike in the office today as he wanted it to fit neater in the hand. We are down on Engineers/Masters-of-CAD right now, so I asked GPT to SCAD one. It did a great job.

What do you do with a vast amount of cardboard used to ship some tubes from Germany from Rehadapt? Turn it into a Peppa Pig house. Thanks, Diane!

Immersive Reader which is these days embedded in everything that Microsoft does it seems is a quiet miracle. I have some niggles (Line Focus - next and previous buttons shouldn’t move), and the web version is heaps better than on desktop.. But still - Its fab - reading coach is particularly awesome.
