Exactly. I had nothing to organise, nothing to remember. Never owned one, but loved looking at them and playing with them in store.

My 20th and latest guide is live at Pimoroni. This time I show you how to create custom animations on #Badgeware to celebrate YouTube subscriber milestones. We use the YouTube API, #micropython and Blinky 2350 to celebrate our achievements! learn.pimoroni.com/article/cele...

I miss devices like this. Used to feel so excited to see what new features they added, what new fun was hidden inside. Everything feels less exiting in general around tech at the moment.

@pimoroni.com we need more Pimoroni merch! I want a Pimoroni mug and more pin badges! Also a Pi or Pimoroni themed pinboard to stick the pins/stickers too!

Howdy y'all, I just got laid off as part of the cuts from Xbox. I have 7 years of experience making full stack web apps, the last 3 of which have been with Zenimax Online Studios supporting The Elder Scrolls Online. Would greatly appreciate if anyone knows of any opportunities!

Please take the time for an ice bath. It's been hell this week. Only thing given me some spoons. I'm just lucky I work from home and l could make a dive for an ice shower multiple times

The problem is most ads are useless to me as not being in the US or Canada. So why watch?

There's *one* feature in macOS Tahoe 26 that actually enticed me to upgrade. At least for one of my Macs. Despite the horrible glassy UI. A quick video on remote Lights-Out management with FileVault on macOS Tahoe is up on Level 2 Jeff: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSLB...

I have the base spec M4 Mac Mini and mainly use as the replacement for my #Jellyfin server and other bits. But I do use it for web browsing when I don't want my main pc on.

As a recent Mac Mini convert - I find the lack of key duplicate key combos a pain! Why Cant ⌘ open the apps menu? Why is is ⌘ + C and ⌘ + V to copy and paste?

So today has been a day of tinkering with my blog. I use the #GetGrav software to run this site after ditching #Wordpress. I've added some tweaks to the CSS to pull out the logos colours around the site. Center align images and add css to tell sites what to use as an image! blog.talktech.info
