I sometimes fix things. I daily drive Linux. I like to make things do stuff that they may not have been designed to do.

Today I was somewhat surprised to see products harvested from human donors. In Slashdot's advertising.

Even if you glue it back together it may not work right ๐Ÿ˜ž

From the picture, it looks like the yoke has dropped down. This is often due to the glue that was used to hold those wedges in place turning into sticky gloop. The wedges then slide out of place and the scan coils drop down. Causing bad convergence and poor geometry.

That's a bit of a plugger.

Been doing Linux as my daily driver for the past 28 years. It's not all plain sailing. But it's not too bad.

I think it's got a bit in common with running man ( the first one with Arnie in it)

I loved that movie. Great twist at the end.

Maybe he got the munchies after a good skiing workout?

I have one of those and plan to use it with home assistant. Not got round to it yet, so many other projects to do. I can say that ZigBee is way more reliable than WiFi for lamps. (Philips Wiz) VS IKEA ZigBee

I was about to post. Watch Hidden Figures. It's up there with the Shawshank Redemption.

This is the one with the amazing 5.1 audio in the begining of the movie. Then spoilt with rather too much "I'm okay to go" later on.

Aaaaaaah the stuck "A" key.

Then when you find it you'll find the batteries have leaked.

If you look into the objective lens (obviously with the machine off) you'll probably see what we'd call "Smokie Eye" where the lens has a green tinge rather than the blue. I've seen them where all the glossy coating is gone. You can clean the top of the lens but the underside is harder.

Dave, you look naked without your headphones.

Well done, sorry I'm not going to be there to see it in-person.

One thing. Looking at the diagram. There's no right mouse button and no 5v power to power an ST mouse or a joystick that needs 5v

What hardware is inside the speccy case?

The RP2040 is amazing. You can make some really low latency thing to other thing converters with it.

I had to replace the electric struts on my car last year. Bloody expensive things.

What is going on with the latest Debian Kernels??? I forgot to delete and booted linux-image-6.17.8.deb14-rt-amd64 and it won't even route packets even if /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 I'm going to build WireGuard tools from source from now on. Then there won't be this unnecessary dependency.

That is really nice.
