The Pico2 RP2350 input bug I mention in the latest episode of @thebootloader is not theoretical, but impacting commercial products like the Bus Pirate (see https://mastodon.social/@buspirate/113073772302750924) and all my captouch-based MIDI controllers & synths in my Tindie store. I don’t recommend Pico2 for newbies either: even their official tutorial code will not work on a Pico2 https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/getting-started-with-the-pico/6

@anna that's completely different from my experience with the course, the way USP offers IS is really just "compsci lite", it focuses a lot more on the tech side and the business side are the classes everybody bemoans and flunks
i'm no exception, i took the course mostly only because i didn't score well enough on fuvest to go to compsci instead (though in hindsight the required calculus classes would've killed me)
@anna although one of the obligatory electives i took was contemporary art, and it, unrelated to anything about information systems, was a fresh subject to study and opened my eye a lot
@anna through USP, Information Systems is offered at Escola de Artes, Ciências e Humanidades (often derogatively called "the poor USP", located near Tatuapé)
though it's not so much a social science as it still carries a lot of computer science and programming in the curriculum...
@Erika finally, a social media network dedicated to the Sony Mavica

Our brain just crafted the phrase "I got pushed out of my comfort zone until I no longer had a comfort zone" and suddenly about 20 years of C-PTSD trauma made sense.
@tavisco i believe you but if money wasn't a factor i wouldn't have a gaming rig that has an older cpu than your server!
@tavisco no wonder lol your server has a better cpu than my gaming rig
@tavisco how's it performing for you? i enjoyed the feature set but on the hardware i had it on (a 4th gen i5 laptop turned homeserver) it was unbearably slow (circa 2017 i think, when it was still new) which made me migrate to seafile instead
think we forgot how to make programs not to be webpages
bit funny when an embedded programming ide requires opengl/vulkan
@tavisco this microwave's interface inspires me so much. it's 2024 and i don't have anything that looks and functions this nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiS27feX8o0
@tavisco the dream goal is to make an embedded sidecar that taps into the dumb electrics and properly controls the heater to a specific temperature we can adjust, making a 44gbp machine behave like it's 500-600gbp. and if i can make a nice interface that looks like a really expensive, consumer-level kitchen appliance, i'll be really happy
@tavisco we got a fairly nice espresso machine for extremely cheap on ebay, it already pulls pretty nice shots with a replaced portafilter and basket provided the grounds are properly fine enough (the consumer-grade portafilter it originally comes with is artificially pressurized to compensate for standard-fare grounds), but we suspect it's still coming out quite bitter because the water is too hot (models any cheaper than ~500 pounds have no temperature control, simply a cutoff thermostat)
@tavisco custom controller for an espresso machine mod for temperature PID and timer functions - really overkill but something to do to get it just the way we want.
right now there's code in place for everything regarding the screen, rotary encoder and thermocoupler, what's left to do is mostly a lot of UI work - i want to fill this up with pretty menus and pixel art. one of a kind kinda stuff

@elithebearded So while film has traditionally been fed from reel to reel, each frame moving vertically between openings of a shutter, you propose that we think of modern video more as a long rectangular sausage that is pushed forth and extruded from a hole?
I *think* I'm in?
i feel embarrassed to say that the board and the boilerplate software that has all the hardware enumerated (but doesn't really do much yet) took me the entire day. i used to be able to focus more
