So, I have a lot of free time at the moment due to long term sickleave. Any book recommendations?. I'm mostly into sci-fi/fantasy, loving books like LOTR, Discworld, Good Omens, American Gods, the hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, The Expanse and similar.

Any ideas for a dirt cheap MCU with USB Device and actually usable SPI slave mode? I ported tinyusb to @patrick_riscv CH32X035 only to find out the SPI slave support in that chip is absolutely useless.

Meanwhile in @Steam land you can play a few hours, decide you don't like the game and request a refund by clicking a button and get it within a few hours. .

This is literally insane.

In my case, the full product name was too long for the product name field in the form. .

Then, once you manage to get to the form in the opening hours, you have to fill out name, email, PSN email, purchase date, transaction id (in confirmation email this is order id) , PSN public username, phone number and product name.

First: it's hidden on some weird support page stashed away. Of course, it's country specific so if you use the wrong one, no dice! .Then the email support form is only available Monday to Friday 10 to 18. .

I'm genuinely appalled by his user hostile the @PlayStation Store refund process is. It has to have been deliberately designed to prevent people from doing it. The only way it could be worse would be if you had to fax something to them.

Awesome! Got in and @marsbarlee was kind enough to give me a tour! Really nice place :D.

Do I know anyone from NYC resistor or Hack Manhattan? Will be in the area this afternoon (Manhattan)/evening(Brookly)? Would love to get a tour!.

Everytime Twitter force switches me to "For you" tab, I wonder if anyone at all actually want this. Does anyone actually use it on purpose?.

Celebrating #StarWarsDay2024 by buying a on sale! Been wanting it for years. Unsure where I'll actually keep it when assembled 🤔.

Any recommendations for things to do or visit in Prague?.
