Are you a software developer, and, if so, without looking it up, do you know what the THERAC-25 is?

@joeycastillo objects with integrated instructions are so rad. This is really slick!

I will be bringing a couple dozen of these with me to Hackaday Supercon. The “Sensor Watch” SAO is not Sensor Watch — hence the quotes — but it is an I²C segment LCD driver that’s easy to control with MicroPython. To get folks started, I have once again put copious documentation on the back side :)

S/O to the Blue Shield agent who spent a full hour on a three-way call with me and Anthem in order to work out a COBRA issue that resulted in denying a claim from over a year ago.

Welp, i've finally been shamed into consistently adding ALT text to the images I post and, whaddaya know, it's turning out to actually be fun and creative to write prose descriptions of the visuals. This is forcing me to really LOOK at what I'm seeing, something that I, as a sighted person, generally take for granted.

I wrote up my process on modelling and making this #sao https://thzinc.com/2024/10/26/my-first-sao-for-hackaday-superconference-2024.html

@fast_code_r_us it looks fantastic. This is real "moving type" stuff that feels unexpected from something that's not emitting light.

I now have made a functional #sao for @hackaday #supercon!

How Stevie Nicks responds to mask-shaming 🔥

"I dare anybody to give me a dirty look. I would just say, 'Hey, you know what? I’m Stevie Nicks. And if I get sick, my entire thing goes down. Forty families are out of work. So that’s why I have a mask on, asshole.'"

Article in Rolling Stone: https://archive.ph/qoKB9

Where do you prefer that I sit?
You’re good right there, as long as you don’t think you have Covid.
No, I don’t.
Well, thank goodness we’re done [touring] for a while, so I can go home and not have a mask on all the time. As a singer with asthma, I fucking hate the masks, but I wear them. People give you dirty looks. I dare anybody to give me a dirty look. I would just say, “Hey, you know what? I’m Stevie Nicks. And if I get sick, my entire thing goes down. Forty families are out of work. So that’s why I have a mask on, asshole.”
I can’t get [Covid] again. I mean, I’m old, so I’ll only be around for another 15 years. But you guys have another 30 or 40 years, so you should think about it.

I like both the unsanded and the sanded diffusers. Different effects! I think I’ll sand half of these and bring ‘em for #sao trades at @hackaday #supercon

A photo of two diffusers sitting on top of a colorful image on an iPad. One is more transparent but has an apparent texture. The other is sanded and milky smooth.

Daniel James boosted:

Pleased as punch with this. Definitely @hackaday #supercon ready.

It has been a productive few weeks, for which I am grateful.
