I use Twitter for post about the electronic project I do with Pocket CHIP, Raspberry Pi, Micro Python and Circuit Python. One way to find those is to search for the media I post. From time to time I updated the following gist with better description: gist.github.com/dglaude/c4db29…

@Le_Bux Cela réduit le coût des locations et augmente le nombre de semaines oú les professionnels du tourisme peuvent avoir des clients. Cela permet également de voir dans quel camp se trouve la SNCB, et d'autres.

Sans vouloir relancer le débat sur les rythmes scolaires, ce décalage des vacances (et de vie) entre francophones et Flamands dans un petit pays comme le nôtre, je trouve ça nul. Opinion perso.

@bimbly @A1kanaro @oliviscusAI The current PDFDoom is too bare metal... it runs without the OS!

@A1kanaro @oliviscusAI Yeah, I know about PDF Doom. I wanna see this emulated RISC chip inside a PDF run a Linux version of Doom. 😆

You can now run a full Linux operating system inside a 6mb PDF. Someone embedded a RISC-V emulator inside a standard document. You don't need a virtual machine, just a PDF reader. → Runs interactively inside the file. → Powered by a tiny RISC-V emulator. → The entire OS fits in just 6MB.

@anne_engineer @adafruit For Sure! SECAM will make France proud of you. So far the rest of the World is already proud of you.

The same board that generated DVI and VGA video now also generates Composite NTSC black & white. On to color and adding PAL output too. How many standards can I cram on this @adafruit Metro RP2350B? More still.

@Maitre_Eolas Ce truc ne m'inquiète pas, car la Belgique est passée par là. J'ai dû aider une petite structure, et c'est passé crème. C'est un coût pour le logiciel, mais les comptables aident. L'inquiétude c'est la certification des logiciels qui peut exclure les logiciels libres...

Le gouvernement a détruit un secteur économique avec une simple taxe à 2 euros. Vous imaginez ce que va faire sa réforme de la facturation électronique, où les entreprises ne pourront plus se faire payer si elles n'émettent pas des factures selon un format strict et normé ?

@SowPiano 'history' et '!####'

Je postule pour être technical team lead côté OPS, on me fait passer un entretien technique (par quelqu’un de plus junior que moi) et la seule question purement technique qu’on me pose c’est : « What’s your favorite or usual commands on Linux ». Mais enfin? Keske ?

@humancoders SLS (Slackware) on 3 1/4 disk. I had a set that I was maintaining up to date and that was used by many at my university. There were two sets base and X11. The downloads to disk were done over serial (maybe using zmodem?) on a 80186 PC connected to the university Unix system.

Qui a déjà installé un OS avec des disquettes ici ?

@yacineMTB Those are "hacking pads" and are left by the designer to make the product hacker friendly and facilitate alternative use. Do not believe any other response: They are never useful for the designer to debug, to do the initial programming or test the board after the manufacturing.

why does every PCB that i look at have these little tiny things on them? they seem to serve no purpose

@anne_engineer Devil Ruxpin...

I think there will be a Generation 3.0 wave of AI assistants being stuffed into inanimate objects. Maybe some new concepts will develop. Maybe makers will stuff them into older concepts like Billy Bass the fish and Teddy Ruxpin the bear. I don't like how this will play out. 😵‍💫🤯

@rekdt Wrong answer only: "You can listen to two separate audio sources, one on each side."

Been just absolutely racking my brain trying to think of a use case for this 2 male, 1 female audio adapter I found in my audio box I’m at a complete loss, I think it might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen

@sokol_cc Waffles from Belgium... Are you more for those from Brussels or Liege?

FedEx does its magic

I just secure 160 wafers with very specific chip from 1978. They are on plane right now. Those chips are priceless for me and have big commercial value. I got them free of charge after very quick gentleman’s agreement. I love to move in high trust society.

Here's Our First Gemini Deep Think LLM-Assisted Hardware Design We've been using LLMs for software and firmware for years... now we're trying hardware. Threw a MAX44009 datasheet at Gemini Deep Think, asked for an EagleCAD library file, and about 10 minutes later it popped out working XML. Loaded it in Eagle, checked the pins and dimensions, rolled with it. Correct pads, correct pin naming, even added a pin 1 dot and sensing element outline on tDocu. Ladyada's still driving... just has a co-pilot now 🎳 blog.adafruit.com/2026/02/14/her…

@anne_engineer The most useful test signals I have ever used are those that produce a sound and a flash simultaneously. That is used to check if audio and video are in sync, especially after encoding and decoding. That was not really an issue in the world of analogue processing...

@mepassistants @J2MM8 Les APAs ne sont ni des fonctionnaires, ni des agents, ni des stagiaires... mais ils se sont battus pour avoir certaines règles des fonctionnaires (santé, pension, fiscalité) mais pas la sécurité de l'emploi en cas de "rupture du lien de confiance" avec le député. J'ai juste?

@J2MM8 C'est pas qu'on est traité comme des stagiaires, c'est que nous sommes les instruments de la guerre sainte politique qu'est le mandat de nos députés. La survie est préférable mais pas obligatoire.

Je vais me faire l'avocat du diable mais le "on est pas fonctionnaire", c'est une punchline classique que moi et beaucoup d'APA on utilise quand on parle de ce boulot pour expliquer que c'est un job intense avec des horaires parfois particuliers. Est-ce que ça joue sur un stéréotype un peu essoufflé, probablement, est ce que c'est scandaleux, pas vraiment.

ALERT: Le gouvernement Wallon veut revenir au vote électronique. *c'est plus cher *le contrat de maintenance du vote électronique se termine en 2027 *on ne sait rien d'un hypothétique nouveau système *le dépouillement assisté à bien marché Pourquoi ??? lesoir.be/722656/article…

I made a set of tools that show what inputs a game controller is generating through various Windows APIs (XInput, DirectInput, GameInput, etc.).

@MakeAugusta Can you compare full and totally empty CR2032? Does it make a difference?

@Distant_Warrior @lauriewired One theory I was exposed too is that someone working on the code wanted to send a signal about the danger of electronic voting, or possible fraud from the vendor, and introduced a bug to inform the public with plausible deniability and have serious investigations. Did not work!

@lauriewired "Although impossible to confirm, with all other likely possibilities ruled out," the most likely one is that deeply embedded communists cheat at elections because they have no integrity.

What happens if a cosmic ray hits a voting machine? In Belgium’s 2003 elections, a relatively unknown Communist Party candidate received 4096 extra votes…from a spontaneous bit inversion. It was more votes than was mathematically possible at that polling station.

@Ammon_Ra @lauriewired I can provide more answers/precisions (ask me anything). But this podcast brings a lot of journalist investigations and info from the "actors" (me included): radiolab.org/podcast/bit-fl…

@lauriewired Awesome! I have never heard this story to this detail! My understanding is we have built in hardware protections today such as ECC memory
