It's amazing how many of my friends have their 56th birthday tomorrow, almost as if January 1st 1970 was some kind of special day. Hmmm. If you know why that day is special you really should come to my talk at Everything Open! 2026.everythingopen.au/schedule/prese…

@elronxenu You know me well!

This looks like a good project for @jonoxer

We did it! The result is snap-on, snap-off pressure plates that can be easily swapped to suit the job. Magnets FTW

I don't often do mechanical CAD, but when I do, I make sure it's in public so everyone can laugh at me youtube.com/live/eF_D3yn9x…

Heh. #StickItUpYourTube! Ping @WAssembly

Sometimes you need to merge several electronics projects into a single design. Livestream starting in a few minutes: youtube.com/watch?v=qWUteu…

@EERandomness @eevblog OpenPnP on Ubuntu using my OpenKayo ESP32 based protocol converter, controlling the original onboard motion controller

@EERandomness @eevblog My Kayo A4s are essentially the same machine, I think with the same motion controller. I ditched the original control software and converted them to OpenPnP

Why don't they just give it away for free and charge just the postage?

@eevblog Standard board thickness of 7.6mm. Yep, just like my typical boards 😱

New PCB layers just dropped. allaboutcircuits.com/news/oki-reach…

@ihaveabluehat I’m so sorry to hear that Angelo

Rest in peace Pop ❤️ 🕊️

Even by Amazon standards, this is extraordinarily sleazy: starting March 28, each Amazon Echo device will cease processing audio on-device and instead upload all the audio it captures to Amazon's cloud for processing. 1/

@producerjason1 @YourAnonCentral It was in the US’s own interests to provide that help, because Ukraine borders Russia and was containing it. It was a way for the US to block Russia without having to fight personally. But now US foreign policy has flipped to being a Russian ally.

@YourAnonCentral I believe you may be confused… WE are not the ones that usually “need help”…In recent years we have been the ones PROVIDING the help. For Ukraine, that stopped yesterday.

The entire free world has chosen Ukraine over the United States. Next time you star spangled fuckers need help, go ask North Korea. The rest of us are done with you.

I need the dopamine hit of finishing something, ANYTHING, this year! I have a big list of unfinished projects so let's get started. Livestream starting in 5 minutes: grab yourself a coffee and lets GOOOO! youtube.com/live/pjyK3yxQJ…

@eplop I do not need more projects. I do not need more projects. I do not ...

@jonoxer Standard lighting if you’re going to start a yt channel about repairing crash damaged cars!

It's hard to schedule time for major overhauls of production equipment when clients constantly need PCBs produced, so the Christmas / NY break is about the only chance I get to do it. Time to make a mess! Step 1: Rip out the lighting and paint the ceiling beams

Step 4: Design stands for the pick-and-place machines to get them up off their trolleys, order steel, and weld them together. Amazingly the result was <1mm of dimensional error in every axis! There's still much to do and it's going to be a stretch to be ready in 7 days :-O

Step 3: Realise the open ends of the beams look awful, so laser-cut some acrylic end caps, fit them, and then paint over them

@bindureddy Just look into those eyes. There's fire right there!

LOL, Sora produced this when I uploaded an image made by Flux and asked it to BREATHE FIRE It's a pretty good video generator, and the dragon is super cute!😍 It's just not breathing fire 😭😭
