Das iOS-Widget von #Duolingo auf dem Startbildschirm „hampelt“ seit Neustem - und das trotz ausgeschalteter Live-Aktivität. Wer hat diesen Schwachsinn bloß verzapft? 🤯 Ich hab das Widget rausgeworfen. #BlinkenLights brauche ich nicht … 🤡

"BlinkenCity: Radio-Controlling Street Lamps and Power Plants"
https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-blinkencity-radio-controlling-street-lamps-and-power-plants #38c3 #sdr #blinkenlights #blackout
A friend from the #BBS - an old hacker who collected old toys - left me his #Altair when he joined the Navy. That thing I did use quite a bit - but it was still a toy next to the PC as much fun as watching the #blinkenlights was.
I think there's something odd about inherited 8-bit nostalgia - it's like the confluence of the "earlier simpler time" bias combined with this moment where you could build up from basic principles to today so it feels especially much a moment sadly missed.

Nur mal so als Idee.
So, since @dec_hl nerdsniped me into checking out @marove's Blinkyparts webshop for Solder Things, I had to order a few sweet kits. I just completed this one in a bit over an hour. It's not the most spectacular of the boards, but definitely the most complicated! I'm a tiny bit proud that it works straight away :D
Is it too late to get rid of meaningless spinning activity (not "progress"!) indicators?
Just tell me what you're doing! :P
Also, bring back HDD/SSD activity #blinkenlights. They were helpful.
This intriguing trio of Ladik modules arrived from a seller from Italy today.
Yeah, they get a lot of #blinkenlights points, but that quantiser also shows a lot of potential. At the moment it's making a 2600 square wave sound like a tribe who got lost in a telephone exchange and are using their noseflutes to summon the ancestral spirits.
Is there a #buttons equivalent for #blinkenlights? I find the discrete options kind of comforting.
@leyrer wenn sich die Etagen nach oben hin verjüngen könnte man es auf dem Congress als weihnachtliches #Blinkenlights nutzen
Can someone please make a run of these, or something a bit more modest, and sell it please?
I have money I want you to take.

At #38c3, we presented our #BlinkenCity research, which started as a fun art project idea, and ended up as a plausible European #blackout scenario.

TL;DR: Some European countries use unencrypted and unauthenticated #longwave radio to steer parts of their renewable power, enough to potentially cause a Europe-wide blackout.
The control signals can be sent with just a #Flipper Zero over short distance, or via self-built transmitters over a long distance (e.g. using a kite to lift an antenna wire).
The system is also used for street lamp control, allowing for a scaled-up “Project #Blinkenlights” art installation that transforms an entire city into a screen (for astronauts).
The company operating this system has threatened us with lawsuits and (now publicly) denies the risk.
It snow.

#38c3 Overheard near the #blinkenlights assembly: The axolotl are sold out. I guess @TheEconomist was right that 2024 is the year of the axolotl!
@phil0x2e na, #blinkenlights denke ich mal, oder @timpritlove ?

Melting vias and dancing around them. (I said earlier I couldn't find my good soldering iron...)

Because it's that very dark time of the year maybe it's time to remember and celebrate a very bright and beautiful project by CCC: "Blinkenlights - Arcade" in Paris - the follow-up-project of "Blinkenlights" in Berlin.

Btw, big shout outs to @ecken and @videopixil for making amazing @adafruit tutorials about using piezos with microcontrollers to make sound reactive #blinkenlights way over a decade ago and to @beckystern for making all things shiny, #electronic and #wearable super accessible to n00bs and fiddlers like myself!
