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!

The new editing functionality in Android Messages is interesting. I wondered what happens if you edit a message to contain nothing. The answer is it won't let you save the edit if it contains nothing.

So then I tried editing it to just a space, but that didn't work either. Then I went down a list of various Unicode spaces. None worked

Except for one. When you edit a message to contain just that Unicode space, the message just plain disappears.

However, if you use the new "delete for everyone" functionality, it leaves a tombstone where th message used to be.

So if you want to delete without a tombstone, use the zero width non-breaking space. Poof, it's gone.

News broke today of a "mother of all breaches," sparking wide media coverage filled with warnings and fear-mongering. However, it appears to be a compilation of previously leaked credentials stolen by infostealers, exposed in data breaches, and via credential stuffing attacks.

Conference: we received a record number of submissions this year, please be patient with the review process!

Me: it’s like a lot of AI slop isn’t it?

Conference: …

Con organizer I know, privately: oh my god yes. Yes it is. This is such bullshit.
