Found this beauty at Value Village today, just thought it was kinda neat. No idea if it works, if it does I'm welcome to idea for projects and fun things to try.
Anyone who knows anything about it is welcome to come forth as well, I know nothing about Digilent or their products.

Good responses to my question: “How do computers handle the hour that happens twice during ‘Fall back’?”

File this under #ComputerStuff
I am not a programmer. Don’t know how to code. Too lazy to make iOS shortcuts…
I have a folder of plain text files, each with a list of hash tags. I needed a simple way to examine the .txt files and count the number of times each hashtag was used.
Tried Obsidian, but it means using .md and confines you to your vault.
Solution, I asked ChatGPT to make me an Apple Script to do this task for me. Magic!

With the coming end of support of #Windows10 I would like to hear from people who recently (say < 3 years ago) moved from Windows (or MacOS) to Linux:
.1. which Linux distribution did you settle on?
.2. which are the main problems that you had "transitioning"?
.3. are you planning to keep using Linux for now?
.4. What are you missing in Linux that you had with your former OS?
.5. If you tried but did not keep using it - why?#windows10endofsupport #Linux #ChoiceOfOS #ComputerStuff #MacOS #Windows
And here's a related poll:
Have you recently moved to Linux from a different OS? ⬇️ -

I’ve reviewed the code running BlueSky and I can categorically state that 73% of the 1s suck and 56% of the 0s are actual bullshit.

Today I apparently "fixed" two computers (1 laptop, 1 desktop) by... opening them, hoovering a bit, and closing them back up 🤷
They literally went from not booting to being perfectly fine. Sometimes you don't need much to fix what looks like a desperate situation!

hisense TV causing issues to windows PC's over the network by announcing thousands of unique UPNP ID's for itself, filling up the index of devices and causing device indexing to slow to a crawl. Astounding. You could totally make an annoying little device that does this. -

I got my hands on a Duet 3 Chromebook tablet. I did consider grabbing the larger Duet 5 but I already have a 13" class device and as tempting as that big beautiful oled display is, I like small laptops. Really the perfect size for a computer, they shouldn't make computers any bigger than this.
Running Postmarket, incredible how little pain there was in getting this up and running, mainline on ARM has really come a way. I have wanted a little ARM portable computer for basically as long as I have known that ARM existed. The Snapdragon 7c gen 2 isn't fast but it's plenty, I think the biggest thing holding this back is video codec support.
Briefly fidgeted with current-generation chromeOS before doing this, I haven't touched ChromeOS in a while. I can see why you'd use it, it's perfectly pleasant as a system. High quality top-to-bottom integration, hilariously the chrome install even grandfathered in my ublock origin from my Google account so I had Adblock in Chrome on a Chromebook with zero effort. You can even install containerised Linux workloads with Google's blessing, if it's a personal system. If I wasn't a gremlin this would be pretty nice actually.
Linux obviously lacks some of the polish of more commercial operating systems when it comes to mobile support. Plasma's onscreen keyboard is functional but lacking, Gnome is better but only a little. Accelerometer and pen input work perfectly on Plasma, Gnome needs some transforms and udev rules that are mutually incompatible so I need to try and rewrite those. Honestly this is going way better than I expected. Better accelerometer support than my amd64 laptop, which has an awkward middle child of AMD's Sensor Fusion Hub that just never really got good driver support.
Had some mysterious crashes that seem to have settled now. I'll try and fill in some notes on the wiki and try to write some patches for the mobile tools. I'm not sure if I'm going to use Gnome or Plasma. I only briefly poked at Plasma Mobile, which is pretty good but too mobile for something this large. They're both pretty good in their own ways. Plasma's keyboard is actually more technically capable but it's a lot less convenient to deploy. I'll probably have to hack on either of them and I am much more familiar with KDE than Gnome. I also like KDE more but undeniably Gnome has benefited from Ubuntu's weird phone obsession. -
