So I'm generally not in love with google's automatic AI responses but this one was particularly unhinged.

Thanks for giving this great example of a $2,46,256 loan principal amount.

Oh thanks, I really needed another clue that this timeline is cursed and I'm living in a dystopia

(P.S. The headline leaves out the part about how 'screens everywhere' will incorporate AI 🙄)

I like to make pizza. I started making Neopolitan pizzas after getting an outdoor oven a year ago. Then I learned how to make Detroit style. Now I've been trying my hand at NY-style. Friday is pizza night at our house 😁
As time wears on, I'm increasingly disenchanted with technology in my life. I just got a manual espresso maker and I love it. It is slow, yes. But when I hand grind the beans and manually force water through the grounds, it awakens all of my senses. I really appreciate that. Easy ≠ good.

Ah yes, my annual reminder that Google hardware was designed to be used in the bay area. Can't wait to see this notification again and again over the next few months.

Perhaps I should remove my doorbell and mount it inside the house?

This weekend I was able to more-or-less recreate my original electric prism code with MicroBlocks. Video attached!

There are two different moving rainbow modes and a white light mode. A short tap on the touch pad changes modes, and a long drag across the slider adjusts brightness.

I recently learned about MicroBlocks and it rekindled my interest in working with my electric prism project (basically an 8 neopixel programmable nightlight).

My original design used an ATMEGA328, but I want to redesign with an RP2040. I want it to be a learning tool so I was thinking to program with Circuitpython. MicroBlocks is next level, though! Super easy and there is a web-based interface option.

I've been printing things to improve my workspace. This USB cable rack is really nice. I'm realizing that I have a lot of USB cables hiding around here so the next step might be sorting out best ones.

Not my design; file is on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3022893

USB Cable Holder by jb20200606

USB Cable Holder. Two versions offered, one with screw holes and one without for mounting with double-sided tape etc. There are 7 & 10 way versions. Recommended to print in PLA at 10% infill with 0.2mm layer height. I hope you find it useful.

After trying a million little things to get PETG to stick consistently to my glass printer bed, I finally gave in and tried using a glue stick. I feel like I'm giving up too easy, but I'm finally printing without adhesion issues, so I guess I should be happy 😆
