What’s this? An email from Microsoft? My Microsoft 365 subscription lapses at the end of May? And I should turn on recurring billing to have access to the latest AI-powered tools?

AI-powered tools, you say?

Nah, I don’t think you need encouraging down this path any more, Microsoft.

Tonight on "what the frisk?", a Raspberry Pi device tree overlay that works fine on 32-bit Pi OS, but on a 64-bit Pi Zero 2W it kills the WiFi. I have no idea where to even start figuring this out. #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPiZero

Check out this #retrocomputing behemoth!

I ate the banana to give me enough energy to lift this #vintage #PC down from the workbench, so CD case for scale.

Well it's eleven o'clock on a Saturday,
The regular crowd's sneaking in.
There's a young man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his Club-Mate drink
He says "Son, can you find me a zero-day?"
"I'm not really sure how it goes."
"But it's easy, a treat, and I knew it complete"
"Before it was called 'out of scope'."

I keep seeing ads for suped-up laptops for #Linux, and that's great and all--I know a lot of people are really into just how damn fast they can download an update--but I'm way more interested in, "I got my MacBook 2007 to be perfectly serviceable with #DebianLight or whatever." I want to breathe life into an old piece of shit, not acquire yet another piece of tech I'll have to recycle someday.

today is "attempt to bring up the CO2 sensor boards" day.

I am remarkably nervous about this.

Just an FYI, if you get a message like this from someone on discord then it’s a scam.

I just got this and it set off alarm bells; why would discord ask someone to message me instead of messaging me directly?

A few minutes of googling and I confirmed that 1) discord does not deal with violations in this way and 2) that it’s a scam to steal your account and likely some money too.

This is how discord deals with violations: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/18210965981847-Discord-Warning-System

I really need to break out of my habit of bodging stuff together out of whatever cheap Sparkfun- and Adafruit-style protoboards I can find. My old job put me off doing electronic design for a while and I'd like to get back in the groove.

Hmm, just noticed that info.gigaset.net is no longer resolving. It was the backend for some services provided by Germany's last manufacturer of #DECT and mobile phones, #Gigaset, to users of its IP phones. Gigaset had gone bankrupt last year and was bought by #VTech earlier this year.
They have recently fired a quarter of employees.

I guess, they are more interested in Gigaset's manufacturing capabilities in Europe than the phone business.
