Rick Astley has done a better job of preventing people from clicking random links than any corporate cyber-security training.

One great way to find part numbers when you only have a short SMD marking code (when websites like https://smd.yooneed.one/ don't yield anything), is to punch the code into google together with the type of device you think it might be (and variations of it that manufacturers may use).
Quite often it yields you the datasheet which usually contains the SMD marking.

Bluesky now owned by crypto-grifters.

My "we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience through tokens, crypto trading or NFTs" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt.

To the FSF:

Remove Stallman. Replace the FSF board. Make the Free Software movement and culture safe for women to participate.

To Everyone:

Stop harboring assholes and start shouting down "reply guys". Make it clear to women that "Yes. You belong here" - not just with words but with actions. Take safety seriously. If you can't be kind to you fellow humans, then no amount of software will benefit the world, no matter its license.

Going to do a #badgelife thing this year. Question: do badges that support I²C on the SAO connector generally include on-board pull-ups? Or should my SAO include them?

This diagram shows the main functional blocks of the Pentium. The code and data caches are on the left, recognizable by the uniform rectangles of their storage. To the right are the integer and floating point execution units, the heart of the chip. 2/2

Serdaco has added a new version of their Dreamblaster S2 wavetable synth module: The S2 McFish "Feed the Polpo" edition that's made to match the PicoGUS. Now the octopus doesn't have to go hungry 😄 https://www.serdashop.com/waveblaster
