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.

Do you sell your screen kits? I bought one to fix up an old GBC a few years ago but it was not great.

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 guess if you do it wrong you can get it to clump up and curdle, but that’s why they give you instructions 😆

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).

In other Sectors people will get to GS and retire there. Just by observation in ours they either move up or go back to technical work. It’s hard. I think mostly due to nature of our projects and sponsors.
