Can anyone else comment on the durability claims here - I wear a lot of knitwear but in my experience it is almost never the case that they fail at the seams. Is the cut/sew mechan…

This is a sure sign we’re nearing the shoe event horizon ( https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Shoe_Event_Horizon and audio https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nEI19kJ5GfU )

Do you still have a link or some search pointers to the article about SBC please? Would love to read it

I have a Clicks Keyboard and love it. As far as I can tell the team behind the Clicks are pretty intertwined with https://www.fxtec.com/ - in that FX Tech staff seem to be involved…

The Micro:bit Educational Foundation also make a web-based Python Editor at https://python.microbit.org which is designed to be a supportive introduction to text-based coding and p…

I wish I knew the paper, but https://github.com/chirp was a proprietary data-over-sound-through-air implementation that worked pretty well and sounded really cute (to my ears, anyw…

Did you look at Mattercraft? https://zap.works/mattercraft/ - the team that are building it have been delivering mixed reality experiences across platforms in Zappar for a long tim…

This is fascinating. A reminder that being (broadly) right in your analysis doesn't necessarily mean you can execute to turn things around. They note the impact to the high-end, th…

These look really nice, thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity, were you setting out to create something new for stylistic reasons? Or licensing? For the fun of it? From a distance I…

MakeCode Arcade also has the ability to put your games on physical hardware, which can be a game changer for engagement. A simple game on a 128x256 grid can feel a bit “rubbish” on…

Looks like it's an "and" in silicon and an "or" at boot time? >RP2350 includes a pair of open-hardware Hazard3 RISC-V cores which can be substituted at boot time for the Cortex-M33…

I'm positing a model where a third party does the influencing, not the company delivering the LLM/service. What's to say that it's an ad if the Wikipedia page for a product itself …

I'm sure it's not long before you get the first emails offering a "training data influencing service" - for a nice fee, someone will make sure your product is positively mentioned …

We've been using this in the Micro:bit Educational Foundation (microbit.org) to fill a gap in hardware design tooling, and get visual diffs of our schematics and gerbers during PCB…

Next can we have them identify ambient noises that need amplification for safety reasons, like the nearly-silent electric car about to run me over, or the bike I'm about to acciden…

I've been messing around with Q10 keyboards, MCUs and cases but not got to anything as good as a Fairberry - I'd love one or two if you have spares! Couldn't see details for privat…

The Ux here looks really nice, and I felt like I'd seen it before. It's a bit like a 2020s interpretation of the webOS Wave Launcher. ( https://youtu.be/dcyJLaK4YBI?t=46 if you'd n…

It's used for flashing the BBC micro:bit in both Microsoft MakeCode ( https://makecode.microbit.org ) and the micro:bit Python Editor ( https://python.microbit.org ). MakeCode uses…

The Micro:bit Educational Foundation do it for https://python.microbit.org/ where the scope is conveniently limited (to MicroPython running on a device with finite flash/RAM) https…

This is a new version of the micro:bit Python Editor designed to engage students learning text-based coding. The goal is not to hide all the complexities of syntax and structure, b…

CodeMirror 6.0 is pretty sweet - If you want to see it in action, we've been using it to build the new version of the micro:bit Python Editor: https://python.microbit.org/v/beta We…
