I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:

“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”

Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.

“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”

Almost every hand went back down.

“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”

I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.

Always been fascinated by digital interfaces in museums – interactive exhibits, multitouch stations, etc.

I’d love to work on something like this. I’d go with web tech: you can build anything with it, and make it run anywhere. I can help with visual and interactive design, frontend development, and maintenance.

If you’re in that field and could use some freelance help, I’d love to connect. 👋

@whitequark I am very much looking forward to your analysis. 😀 Though I'd also have been very interested in workarounds of the protection mechanisms.

@whitequark it will be readout protected, right? Will you need to apply some fault injection or something? Or does it have an external (Q)SPI flash? The internal flash is quite large in that thingie.

For #FujiNet, A question for #gamedevs: Say you have a networked Artillery (Scorched Earth) game that should run on a wide variety of systems. How could we best make a landscape that could be reliably used across many different systems?

"Da die Internetverbindung für das WLAN aus der Steckdose über das Mobilfunknetz aufgebaut wird, ist das Angebot sehr flexibel."

In Denmark, The Ministry of Digitalization now removes all Microsoft software from ministry computers and switches to open source in a strategy that has been agreed with all five regions of Denmark.

The more Trump threatens Europe, the more US companies will get the Tesla treatment.

I will not be surprised if the Parliament member iPhones are next.

Bei ÖBB und ČD sind Reservierungen auch für innerdeutsche Fernzüge übrigens für ~3€ pro Person und Zug erhältlich. Für Verbindungen, in denen nur ein IC/ICE genutzt wird, ist das deutlich günstiger als bei der DB.

Kein feiner Zug: DB erhöht erneut Reservierungsgebühr und streicht Familienreservierung!

smh, Keysight and their obsession with licensing bites me again. this instrument now thinks it is a 16802A despite having a 2-slot backplane. every piece of hardware in this design has some sort of ID chip.
