Did you see the article claiming Hunter Biden's laptop wasn't really Hunter Biden's laptop, but rather had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation"? If stories…

here is a satellite view I've been watching, also from NOAA: https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G1...

Interesting that this is happening at the same moment Glenn Greenwald is promoting (Canada based) Rumble as a free-speech alternative to Youtube. https://greenwald.substack.com/p/s…

I agree with you. Cargo cult is when physical goods are delivered by some high-tech society to a lower-tech one ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult ). Buying stuff from Amaz…

if you want to be extra confused, look at the HalloWing: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3900 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4300 it's a feather mainboard, but with the 'wing' n…

... also check out the TinyS2, which has the form factor of the TinyPico, but it has the ESP32-S2 SOC - https://unexpectedmaker.com/tinys2

I buy from all of those places, but when they are sold out I also check digikey ( https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC09... ) and canakit ( https://www.canaki…

the chip can do some video, but low res: - https://excamera.com/sphinx/store.html#gameduino-3x-dazzler-... - https://www.adafruit.com/product/4984

yes! I found these on sale at digikey. Search for "arduino nano rp2040". They cost about $28.

... another place I have order from in the past that has some in stock: https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-compute-module-cm4.html

digikey has some in stock now. like this 4GB / 16GB: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC02... ... search for "pi compute module 4" in digikey. I see 5 differ…

I think, like the dollar/taxes example, it is circular but self-fulfilling. If you asked a central banker why they value gold, I suspect they would cite the "Rare but not too rare"…

The article leaves out one big factor in why gold is valued. Similar to "why does the dollar have value?" (answer: taxes), a fundamental source of gold price support is that centra…

sort of related to this (indie gaming hardware), I recently got the Adafruit PyBadge. You can program it with CircuitPython, Arduino or MakeCode (a microsoft visual coding IDE). fu…

that doesn't sound like a fair comparison. How many human interventions were there in the 2-3 million Uber miles?

yes! for headless/server type applications I think this is the sweet spot right now. In the US, Ameridroid is faster than ordering direct from pine64 (in my experience). The bigges…

These little computers are floppy and like to slide off the desk under the weight of their own USB cables. This has led me into many adventures with wall mounted enclosures. [0] ht…
