Did you know someone reverse-engineered the Weather Channel computer system from the 80s/90s and now you can generate your own private weather channel for your location?

I regularly buy a dozen bottles of Badger Ale and 2 packs of mushrooms at my local supermarket. I put them on the conveyor belt in that order hoping the cashier will burst into song as they put them through the till, but they never do.

For those that celebrate

This reads like the dystopian version of the "You Will" ads from the late 90s.

Sadly, this is not a remake of Troll 2. Though it's also not a sequel to the 1986 film Troll, so at least it will be consistent in confusing people.

@mainframed767 @gsuberland They are excellent at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

@jalefkowit "garçon, coffee!"

1988 theme is the best version and will never be topped.

Lalo Schifrin passed away today. He was a composer whose name might not be familiar, but you're definitely familiar with his work.

Hello, Fediverse. I'm looking for embedded experts to help save #LEGO MINDSTORMS!

Background: https://pybricks.com/project/saving-lego-mindstorms/

Help: https://github.com/pybricks/support/issues?q=label%3A%22help%20wanted%22%20label%3A%22platform%3A%20EV3%22

I've made major progress, but I'd love to get some help! If writing an SPI flash driver or USB device implementation is your thing, I would love to hear from you 😀

I'll gladly donate an EV3 set for this. We can do this as a paid project too if that's a better fit. Let's discuss!

The new editing functionality in Android Messages is interesting. I wondered what happens if you edit a message to contain nothing. The answer is it won't let you save the edit if it contains nothing.

So then I tried editing it to just a space, but that didn't work either. Then I went down a list of various Unicode spaces. None worked

Except for one. When you edit a message to contain just that Unicode space, the message just plain disappears.

However, if you use the new "delete for everyone" functionality, it leaves a tombstone where th message used to be.

So if you want to delete without a tombstone, use the zero width non-breaking space. Poof, it's gone.
