I thought the @districtcon.bsky.social year 0 badge was one of the most beautiful pieces of PCB art I’d ever seen w the cherry blossoms and the backlit LED, so I finally got around to making it into a little night light for my office.

It is the tradition of my people that upon returning from a journey I must present tribute, and if the tribute is deemed acceptable, I will be welcomed back into the tribe.

The arithmetic/logic unit (ALU) in the Intel 8086 processor (1978) is more complicated than you might expect, performing 28 different operations from addition and logical AND to shifts and BCD adjustment. A special control circuit reconfigures the ALU for each operation. Let's look closer...

A die photo of the 8086 microprocessor. The image shows a tan square with complex patterns of beige and dark lines showing the circuitry. Thicker light lines distribute power across the chip while black bond wires are attached around the edges. Various regions with different patterns are labeled with their function including a large rectangular region in the lower right that holds the microcode and the 16-bit ALU in the lower left. The ALU Control circuit at the bottom is highlighted.

I made cigar box dev kits for my friends (maybe the best embedded hackers in the world) for Christmas this year. We use them at work for portable embedded RE/dev. Used two Arturo Fuente boxes.

Looking for recs for burning PCBs as an art project - I used a butane torch but it’s a little uncontrollable what burns and sometimes it delams…I can use a soldering iron but it takes a long time…

My spoooky story of the week: learned about quiet NaNs” in IEEE754 (which is spooky enough!). They are the ghosts of floating point…even if you have all FP exceptions enabled, if a std lib function or an instr generates one they propagate through subseq instructions. Eerie!👻#️⃣

@wbm312.bsky.social gave me this payphone pin @shmoocon.bsky.social one time and it’s the coolest pin I’ve ever seen, and I kept thinking I needed to save it for special occasions but it’s too cool not to display, so it’s on the bag now next to the pirate jelly (that I made).

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Memories from DistrictCon 0 (lots of fun and great talks yesterday due to the persistence of the volunteers) - view from the hotel they sent refugees to…this morning you can see a pile of old cable bits in a dump truck and several spool trucks ready to run new lines.

So I'm at elem school basketball practice on Thurs (I'm an asst coach) and mid-practice a kid starts asking me about hacking his wifi router - and so between drills we talk about through-hole vs. pads, UARTs, where to buy an FTDI UART cable... 🤯
