"Sometimes we wonder if robotics engineers ever watch movies. If they did, they'd know that making robots into slaves always ends up in a robot rebellion. Why even go down that path? Here at Adafruit we believe in making robots our friends!"

The Los Angeles Times is now unavailable in Europe because of GDPR

Hopefully I'll be able to kick the rest soon, but even if not cutting out half is fairly decent

It is now Towel Day
