I had reasonably prompt responses from the support staff... until I shared this video with them.

For reference, my OnePlus 5 power button failed after nearly 5 years, when I dropped it button-first on a hard edge, which literally shattered the button. A simple repair.

I just tried typing `reboot` into the Windows Run box, and then freaked out when I saw the error... WELL HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REBOOT NOW?!

🤦‍♀️

-42 dB ... feels a little absurd 😂

I've now purchased some stronger attenuators, including a -60 dB in-one.

A brief story about cookies... 🍪

It's not magic, and it's not really the full story.

I was struggling to figure out which one we should use, and was quite content to randomise selection from the full set, but in a deterministic way (so a given device would always show as the same one).

Once upon a time, I was working on some "very serious" industrial control equipment, which was designed to automatically recognise and identify connected devices. I wanted to show an Unknown for the rare (generally "impossible") situation where it didn't know what a device was.

Why yes, I did just write a python script that behaves like a co-routine when called from bash.

The python output can be source'd to set environment variables that guide the build... one of the variables instructs you what to do next (i.e: call it again, or exit the loop)
