Is one aspect of #teaching the guilt of not being prepared enough or not explaining a concept clearly enough? That's a new one on me.

Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then (if you search for other ad strings, you can find the rate of other ads)

What will they think of next?

The hacked up wires did not survive the 2-3 times I opened and closed the sandwich of the two boards today. Spent most of the day just removing the annoying bits of stranded wire used in the through hole connectors and cleaning the 40 year old flux residue.

I happened to have a second batch of pins and wires from the previous work I did on my #trs80 Model 1.

Keyboard repair started great. Cleaned and prepped so that soldering went smooth. #radioshack #trs80

De-foiling complete. Still a bit of glue residue to work through. Trying some flux remover as its doing a nice job of making the adhesive mobile again. I can almost get it into a slurry for wiping up now.

I've ordered a 3d printed replacement keyboard bezel based on the STL from

#TRS80CoCo adapter board routed. It's really ugly routing but everything is connected so good enough. #FujiNet #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #KiCad #Electronics
