Assistive description of profile background:

Profile backdrop if of cartoonish landscape and mountains with a fir tree line. The sky is blue and bright and there are five white clouds in it. The foreground is a grassed area with white and blue daisies. In the centre is a floating mastodon with a quiffed hair and a curled tusk. The mastodon is held in the air by strings wrapped around its body. These strings are held in the air by red and yellow birds.

"XiP is also affordable, with printing packages starting at $6995"

Dear reviewers.. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

ScaredyCat,

@tony "Allows users to print at speeds of up to 180 mm per hour." - 🤣

1989's Macintosh SE/30L is remembered as one of Apple's biggest flops. MacWorld criticised its rotated L display as "...bringing all of the issues and none of the benefits of a true L display", while MacWeek called it "Some kind of deranged P display nobody asked for".

ScaredyCat,

@NanoRaptor @jetton I'm guessing that's not going to be a USB device, although I'm not against building an interface for it. What model is this please?

Self host searchXNG - when there's an outage you still get search results - albeit from a limited subset of engines. #duckduckgo #selfhost

*edit because you have to get the name right?!!

ScaredyCat,

@NAB Yes, I use it and it works pretty well. Strips out all the ads etc.

ScaredyCat,

@NAB also the preferences for the end user are really good. You get to select stuff like which engine provides the auto complete, which engines to use - very nice. Worth the install IMO.

ScaredyCat,

@NAB ... and tells you which engines are failing...

So I had a look on the sigrok wiki, and I've narrowed it down to a couple but still looking for recommendations for a logic analysier that people have used. Looking for something a little better than the £10 streaming type - in the sub £100 price range. Sigrok compatability ( or works on linux and older versions (11.7) of OS X #electronics #esp32

ScaredyCat, to Electronics

Anyone have any recommendations for a cheap-ish logic analyser? #electronics

I think my favourite part of this is that they've grated cheese on top as a serving suggestion.

Sufficiently Advanced Bodging™ is indistinguishable from having used the correct pinout.

@Unixbigot Just flip the screen over 🤣

Quick question for all you far more knowledgable types. I noticed that after I put my esp32 custom board into deep sleep it settled to a draw ~23.5uA but 350ms later there was a gradual (over 100ms) increase up to 27.7uA after which it dropped back to ~23.5uA. This happens after each wake and deep sleep cycle, but only once per cycle.

I have a suspicion but I don't want to influence responses - plus I don't really know what I'm doing 😔 - Some obvious known pattern?
