The battery lasts longer, but not dramatically so. Maybe it gets hot less frequently? I suppose we've zeroed in on what makes a great (non-folding) handheld and leaps forward are in the past.05 Sep 2026 15:22 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3murru7tk5k22https://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3mumufj3gqs2eThis is likely the best series since Breaking Bad. If you haven't watched season 1, get on it.

I didn't realize these were color alert (or bitter) until my fingers were blue/grey after handling one of these CR2032 coin cells.

I know what you're thinking: how do you *forget* to have coffee? I dunno, but I'm using it to explain away how I've been spinning my wheels on some tricky problems so far.12 Aug 2026 18:22 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3msvqq3tyqc27https://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3mslwpb3hcc2rHoly cow, another exciting ride today with a bold attack by Vollering to capture the yellow on the final climb. Tomorrow's stage is a must watch!08 Aug 2026 20:42 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mslwpb3hcc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3msiv2hgp7c2pWow, incredible ride by Niewiadoma Phinney today. That's an inspiring show of determination and hard work. What a treat to watch!07 Aug 2026 15:35 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3msiv2hgp7c2phttps://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3msdwbld6ls2bI made it up to Log Slide Overlook along the Pictured Rocks national Lakeshore last week. It was incredibly beautiful!05 Aug 2026 16:13 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3msdwbld6ls2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3mrknujzhzs2gJust got done watching Jeroen Domburg's (Sprite_TM) keynote from Hackaday Europe back in May. Wow! As always, he throws down the gauntlet by building an SBC around a vintage 486 chip, then packages it in a handheld form factor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojQ9nnoR9uY26 Jul 2026 15:06 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrknujzhzs2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3mrj4sehhy22ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g79GPZSQHBk&t=5826 Jul 2026 00:28 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrj4sehhy22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3mrj47plftc2gI often complain that the clanker (LLM to the layman) is being a dummy. But today I am the dummy. It diagnosed the problem a few hours ago. I told it that was not right and made it research a whole bunch of other avenues, only to (eventually) prove the same root cause myself. Oops.26 Jul 2026 00:18 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrj47plftc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3mrihi5osyk2gI built this music player for my kid years and years ago. It's hacked together with an old Orange Pi PC Plus in a reused hardboard box with buttons and computer speakers I had in a junk box. A python script monitors the "favorite" buttons (or shuffle). Still in use, we just updated the songs.25 Jul 2026 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrihi5osyk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3mrgo7tjm6k25Oh my, how have I been using git to squash commits FOR YEARS and just now spent the time to read about the fixup option that displays EVERY TIME you interactive rebase? You mean I can just drop the temporary commit messages without manually deleting them? I fell pretty silly.25 Jul 2026 01:02 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrgo7tjm6k25https://bsky.app/profile/szczys.bsky.social/post/3mr4yr7q5ds2fI think I've invented new ways to screw up train signals in factorio.21 Jul 2026 04:44 +0000at://did:plc:65n7eiim6aub6fser52brfem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr4yr7q5ds2f
