Anyone know where I can source replacement PCBytes tips? The spring loaded needle tip is missing from 80% of the probes in my lab right now

@bbcweather Next few days in London look pretty bad this morning on the forecast - never seen wind that strong predicted before, but seems calm outside at the moment

Regard this as a 'FOR THE RECORD' Post. In his new book, Magic Pill, about so-called fat drugs like Ozempic, @johannhari101 says I was prescribed the drug but gave it up because it robbed me of pleasure in food. (See screenshot). This is complete and utter bollocks. 1/

@AdSpiers tele-operated thumb wrestling system

Ideas welcome for how are we supposed to settle joint-authorship order in our lab when one of the team is overseas? Nothing too elaborate please, the paper deadline is this evening. That means tele-operated force feedback robotics for thumb wrestling are out.

@iotwatch @imogenheap @marksimpkins I saw Michel Waisvisz playing these at a STEIM open day back in the day

The Reboot show was an interesting collection of early internet art. The 1984 musical gloves by Michel Waisvisz reminded me of the ones made for @imogenheap by @marksimpkins and others. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Wa…

Good morning, and say "Hello!" to Raspberry Pi 5! The #Pi5 is ×2–3 faster, has PCIe support, a new RTC, and our own silicon designed in‑house here in Cambridge The everything computer. Optimised, raspberrypi.com/5. More at raspberrypi.com/news/introduci…. #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi5

have done a few get by repairs to them over the years, but this time I think I will need to replace them....

@DdDeborahDavies 1l at 6.5% means a liter has 65ml of vinegar. Each percentage would be 10ml. For 65ml to make up 5%, each percent would be 65/5 = 13ml. So 100% would be 1300ml - so add 300 ml.

Hi - Can anyone help me with a math problem please? I have a one litre bottle of vinegar at 6.5% strength. I need it to be a strength of 5% How much water do I need to add to make the solution 5%? Thanks.

@rpilocator I suspect they might be zeros, rather than zero2, as they are the only place that has zero2. They have mixed up other pi products in the past - will see if my order ships and what it is......

Hi @LetsOKdo your site refuses my payment (2FA doesn't wait for code to be entered), you email me to say I have left something in my basket - I click on your contact us link to tell you why, send the form from your site, and get an email saying my message was undeliverable ??

@amcewen @goatchurch my mistake 'in some some metrics performance was better than anticipated'

@tinkernick Oh yes, I'm sure it was all spent "to profile" and they made sure it was public money they spent rather than their own. The £7.7m write-down is in their company accounts for anyone to go look at though, and @goatchurch FoI-ed an admission it was losing a further £1m/year...

I always wondered what the etiquette was when your grand innovation project fails. Seems you just keep quiet for two years and then pick up as if nothing happened.
