Discord has rolled out an annoying new "feature" where now it sends push notifications every time someone reacts to a message with an emoji. This can be turned off in settings > notifications

Progress!
The code is a huge buggy mess, and 2 of the displays are prototypes, so need to be re printed to one degree or another. Aaaaaaand they all need to be properly calibrated again.
Still a huge amount of work to do before we can think about the casing, and we've not even touched the eInk display yet,
BUT it IS progressing.

TODAY: The Dyke Project are organising a phone and email blockade on Wes Streeting between 12-5pm in response to him indefinitely extending the ban on puberty blockers for trans youth – leaving them without life-saving healthcare

If you're based in the UK, PLEASE try to find some time today to send an email or make a call. Mass involvement is crucial.

One of the major RF test equipment suppliers (Rohde & Schwarz) has published a FREE 129 page technical note on making common measurements using a spectrum analyzer. While focused on using R&S equipment, many measurements are also applicable for those with other brands (even lower cost home lab equipment like TinySA-Ultra, etc.). Includes background theory and how-to-measure step-by-step walk throughs. A fun read for geeks!

I've searched for one for literally 2 decades and never seen one for sale, one day, one day!

Steam Deck got voted as most popular gaming device, beating out Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and MSI.

this is amazing to see, an actual full GNU/Linux (not Android/Linux or some stripped down BSD like in the Playstations) device showing its potential as gaming device.

At this point the only reason to use Windows for gaming is when the developers of the game have skill issues (and could use some help from the community) or are actively malicious (DRM/shitty anticheat/etc)
