@chrismarquardt was ist denn der neue für einer? Fragte mich schon länger ob die Druck- und Band-Qualität der günstigen mit Brother, etc. mithalten kann.

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!

Mehr Sicherheit: Zugspitze bekommt ein zweites Gipfelkreuz

Zwei Kreuze auf einem Berggipfel sind in den Alpen eine Seltenheit. Dass die Zugspitze jetzt ein zweites bekommt, hat Sicherheitsgründe: Immer wieder kommt es am jetzigen Gipfelkreuz zu gefährlichen Zwischenfällen.

Habe gestern mit meiner großen Stadt Land Fluss gespielt. Dann sagt sie zu mir aus voller Überzeugung Ungarn nennt man doch Holland. Ich war schockiert und hab gefragt wie kommst du darauf. Dann sagt sie. "Ich hab mit einer Freundin gespielt und als uns kein Land mit H eingefallen ist haben wir gegooglet."

Ich hab das dann auch gemacht. Seht selbst.

Ergebnis einer Suche auf Google. Gesucht wurde "Land mit H". Das KI Ergebnis behauptet Ungarn wird auch Holland genannt.

“Let's just store bits in a bunch of little capacitors. Capacitors are fast and cheap, right?“

“Yeah, but those bits would be stored for, what, a few milliseconds?”

“What if we recharge the capacitors?”

“Every few milliseconds?!”

“Yeah. Sure.”

“…It's just crazy enough to work.”

I'm super excited to finally have my Geodesic Dome project complete. It's now a cosy study space at my University Library, perfect for winter study. It's made from upcycled cardboard from TV boxes and corflute from local election signage, and held together with zipties and tarp eyelets. To make the design, I 3D modelled it in Rhino software with the Polyhedra plugin, then put the model into Pepakura papercraft software to create paper templates that were then hand cut (alas, no laser cutter!)

Large Geodesic dome made from cardboard and corflute in the library, with a small coffee table, beanbags and blankets inside.

A look inside the geodesic dome, with a coffee table, bean bags and blankets. In the centre of the coffee table is a question that says 'What's your favourite book at the moment?' and students can respond with sticky notes.

A sign out the front of the Geodesic Dome that reads 'Geodesic Dome Project', and has the following text:
This geodesic dome was built over the last 12 months in the Library Makerspace through a series of community cardboard sculpting sessions. It’s an experimental space that you can use for reading and study, tucked away from bright lights and open spaces. Inside the dome will be a monthly question that you can respond to on sticky notes, and read responses from others up on the walls. Get involved and check back for updates.

It’s built from locally sourced sustainable materials, including cardboard from new technology installs on campus and corflute from local election signage. There are 200+ hand cut pieces which are joined with zipties and eyelets. The dome was 3D modelled in Rhino 3D software, and converted to a paper template in Pepakura papercraft software. Each piece was printed on paper and joined together to make the templates that were cut from cardboard.

The dome was built in the Library Makerspace, a space open to all students and staff for hands-on projects. Drop in between 9AM - 4PM on weekdays to have a go at 3D printing, electronics, crafting and more. Plus, come along to a range of workshops on 3D printing, Arduino, 3D modelling and more.

This "mmwwwaaahhh delayed German trains cannot enter Switzerland" is one of the most over-played stories ever

The reason it even is an issue is because timetables are integrated, and there's a plan

Switzerland to France? No one cares, because the timetables are so damned awful and the service so thin, and all bar TGVs just get to the first station after the border anyway

So really 🤷‍♂️

DE-CH #CrossBorderRail will remain ONE OF THE BEST THERE IS in Europe
