If there was some kind of semi-organised UK hackers-on-a-train type meet up, how interested would you be? Further polls could occur...

At the weekend I went to Hebden Bridge for the #WutheringBytes festival including #OSHCamp.

On Saturday I gave a talk about dye sublimation printing on to PCBs. Most of that talk was from this blog I wrote last year https://rc2014.co.uk/2293/dye-sublimation-printing-on-pcbs-for-rc2014-pride/

On Sunday I ran a workshop where people could design their own artwork to go on to a PCB. This could then be assembled in to an electronic dice. If anybody is interested the files for the workshop are here https://rc2014.co.uk/OSHCamp2024/

I can not believe what i'm seeing and reading about the "Friend" IOT AI thing. Found via @[email protected] #wutheringbytes today

These videos are made for investors not for real people!

Something wild and disconcerting about seeing audio processing + speech synthesis + ChatGPT grafted to a homebrew, retirement hobby robot with a motorised neck that lives in a box. 🎤
