"Code-along: Build powerful drag and drop in SwiftUI", will that be drag-and-drop v4 ?

I'm using #ESPHome in my #HomeAssistant setup to connect to sensors or bridge to existing devices.

As I'm a big fan of using wired Ethernet and PoE when possible, I've been using some Olimex ESP32-POE-ISO boards.
I created two 3D printed enclosures for those, one with a mini-XLR connector and one with an RS-232 one.
Both models fully developed in Swift using the amazing #Cadova package.

@marcoarment The Netherlands is indeed part of EU.
In fact it's one of the three countries that founded BeNeLux (Belgium - Netherlands - Luxembourg), that can be considered the seed of the EU.

A new Exploring Uncut post where I write about my progress with implementing a Mandelbrot set on an STM32 board: some surprises and learnings to get the FPU working with #EmbeddedSwift, learning about call-clobbered vs callee-saved registers and using ChatGPT not for vibe coding but as a debugging and learning tool.

Exploring Uncut - March 3rd, 2026

Introduction This time, the focus is solely on providing an update on my exploration of getting a Mandelbrot set renderer running on an STM32F746G-DISCO board. I had hoped to also cover “The Egg Project” and some Home Assistant improvements I’ve been working on. However, there is already plenty to discuss here, and the other projects have been moving forward more slowly due to a collection of minor but frustrating issues, from ordering the wrong components, to chasing down unexpected sensor behavior, to tracking a Wi-Fi authentication failure caused by a simple case mismatch.

As I continue my cable management and desk organisation cruisade with the help of #3Dprinting, here is a model I did to attach my #UniFi network adapter on the monitor arm at the back of my screen.
The design was done in Swift using #Cadova. Source code is available at https://github.com/ebariaux/3d-prints

The model is also available on Makerworld: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2362606-unifi-5g-ethernet-adapter-support-for-monitor-arm

@marcoarment Following-up on the latest @atpfm episode, my trusty Sennheiser HD-424X from the early 80s already had connectors at the earpiece level (although not standardized as nowadays).
Bought replacement earpads some years ago but seems they’re now very difficult to find (the product is nearly 50y old).
The hand band plastic is starting to get a bit sticky, so your other remark on plastic toxicity makes me a bit nervous to wear them again (which was quite rare these days anyway).

Last week I mentioned playing Forbidden Forest on a #Commodore SX-64.

Here is a bit of info about that game, coming from the « Commodore 64: a visual Commpendium » book, a kick-starter project I participated in a few years ago.

Flipping through those pages brings back some great memories.

#Retrocomputing #ThrowbackThursday

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and a wonderful day to everyone!

I have a fond memory of this #Commodore64 Christmas demo: https://youtu.be/TYJl1EzBs_4?t=40

In the shopping mall of my home town, there was a kind of general store and they had booth with a Commode SX-64. A student was demoing different software.

I must have been 12 or 13, and I probably spent the whole afternoon with her, watching this demo or playing Forbidden Forest.
