Oida! Dank #Dobrindt|s #Grenzkontrollen fühle ich mich fast wie in alten Zeiten. Demnächst rechne ich wieder Schilling 7:1 im Kopf um und schmuggle Stroh Rum. Baba #Schengen... #Bodensee 🇦🇹
Electromagnetic interference from digital data lines is problematic... But you can coax them into compliance.
Every hackspace has:
- a bunch of queers that are all poly and half of them are sleeping together
- some old men there for the woodworking.
- some old linux users with strong opinioms on linux (that u disagree with)

Cannabis aangetroffen in Haribo-snoep, politie doet onderzoek
DIe Deutschen wieder. Kaum dürfen sie kiffen muß das Zeugs überall rein.
Then I wondered: Can you actually reprogram a character while it is being displayed? Like you may expect in such an old chip, the #HD44780 does *not* latch the customized character anywhere. Instead, every time it scans out the characters to the LCD, it reads the bitmap from RAM again.
That means that if one of the customized characters is in use, it updates immediately on the display when changing it via the parallel #Programming interface.
I don't think anyone has ever these displays to show a 40-band live spectrogram of the music playing on their laptop, but I did now.

Microsoft employees trying in vain to get the Copilot bot to sign the CLA because they can't merge changes until it does is absolutely sending me.
never seen a company dogfooding their own product turn into such a massive own-goal.
hey quick question. as a civilization, do we *really* need this many similar but not quite identical connectors types??
Please ...

Help!
From a quick look around, it seems Wi-Fi 7 is still new-ish, and all laptops I could find with such a chip are a little pricey (1000+ EUR). If you know about a cheaper option (I mostly care about the Wi-Fi 7 thing) that can get delivered to France, I'd love to hear from you!
Otherwise I guess I'll investigate external adapters (USB-A/USB-C), that seem to be ~ 50-100 EUR.
Context: #Linux 6.12, #Debian #Trixie, to develop/test support in the installer.
Please boost, thanks!
