@andrewbensonf1 About a year ahead of the game, aren't you? The final quarter of the *2026* Formula 1 season begins with this weekend's United States Grand Prix.

@Rainmaker1973 What happened to your typical brand of good posts? The quantity is seriously affecting the overall quality. If you haven't got anything to repost, other than trash, then please just wait until you have something else that's educational, interesting, fascinating, or unusual.

@Rainmaker1973 Just delete this post. By posting absolutely obvious fake rubbish, you are destroying the good reputation of Massimo as a source of real, fascinating, and educational information.

@pimoroni That was very sneaky! Fancy that, new shiny stock late on a Friday. Bagged my pirate loot before they are all gone.

@Gadgetoid Simple solution which worked for me: Get a decent wifi repeater with a good transfer speed.

@NoContextBrits I think Cinderella/Achenbrödel and her pigeons could help sort everything out! Three wishes for Cinderella

@pimoroni If that had happened to my pride and joy of the seven seas, the plank walkers involved would not still have all five fingers and their thumbs! As usual, handled with finesse by the Pimoroni crew. Hoist the mainsail, splice the mainbrace, and onward with your intrepid voyage! 🏴‍☠️

Our Sheffield warehouse was plundered in the dead of night, and the thieves made off with a good haul of stuff. You can read a bit more on our blog. blog.pimoroni.com/plundered/

SHORT STORY (and a sale) TIME! We’re having our annual birthday sale. We’re calling it PLUNDERED! this year for sensible piratical reasons. You can find all the deals on the shop and our last chance saloon for clearance items. shop.pimoroni.com/collections/sp…

@pimoroni @guru @adafruit Return 'em?! No, of course not! Pulling the power works as a very simple hard reset! The sd card may disagree?! If I can access the circuitpython REPL, I can try hitting ctrl-c ctrl-d. And if I need a full (comedy) virtual reset: from microcontroller import reset as oops oops()

I ordered 2 @adafruit PiCowbell Adaloggers for Pico from @pimoroni I'm confused! They do NOT have a right-angle reset button that sticks out the end. There's a bad 'inaccessible' reset button mid-board, especially when mounted under a pico as intended!?! No more Captain Resetti?

@guru Yes, I already noticed that on the learn page the dubious lack of a reset button on the end isn't mentioned any more! It's only on the PiCowbell proto board, as the sd card socket 'would get in the way' of a reset button.

@M5Stack @nishikazuhiko The M5Bus is on the left, not on the right, so the core must be placed upside-down. A core with pushbuttons will have the buttons at the top, over port b and port c.

@pimoroni Couldn't you slice them carefully through the middle and make 1 x 20 headers for using with Picos? And then carve them up for use with smaller boards? But then 191,924 1x20 headers might still last more than a lifetime. But a problem shared is a problem halved or is that doubled?

Due to a comical error or over abundance of optimism we have 95,962 2x20 GPIO headers in stock. Anyone for a pack of 400? 🤣

@tv_mucho @kath46blue When it works, it works. When it doesn't work, it's really, really, really annoying. TV mucho used to be quite reliable, now it's just TV not very mucho!

@M5Stack But when I go to the aliexpress store there are only a couple of products. It has been like that for months. Is there some mistake that it doesn't work properly for different regions, like Europe? I have been buying M5stack from European distributors instead of from aliexpress.
