    @codl Thank you for reminding me how much I love Wago connectors and the fact all the solar/battery stuff is crimped instead 8)

    @bruces I was looking at them as they start to appear simply because I've got some places that could do with batteries but which are on an exit route where I do not want a lithium one because of the fire risks (mostly risks if there is a source of fire that ignites it rather than self combustion). Price needs to drop a load though.

    @bruces God would like to remind customers that overclocking invalidates your warranty, may cause unexpected errors and early product failure.

    IMHO the Canadians have the wrong approach to getting rid of Elon's citizenship. It would be much much simpler to simply impose a perfectly reasonable large tax on all people worth over $20billion with Canadian citizenship wherever the are located.
    I'm sure he'll give it up in a flash.

    @cstross @glynmoody and we all know UK fair dealing fairly broken too. There's a line somewhere between "I stole your book" and "I learned to write reading your book". It's incredibly murky even in law for humans and is going to need some case-law and other stuff to untangle at all let alone sanely.
    Other bits are really bad LLM design that need fixing. An LLM shouldn't regurgitate half a book to answer a question it should tell you what book to read because it knows it's using a lot of material

    @glynmoody Most of whom don't seem to have figured out you can run it locally even and all seem to belong to governments and security agencies.

    I'll wait for some actual expert opinion in a month or so I think 8)

    @glynmoody Yes but the problem isn't upgrading the protocol or transmitter it's changing all the receivers. Radio Teleswitch in the UK case it's also conveniently life expired so the problem is being dumped on smartmeters which are encrypted. It's still been a big project to try and get them all replaced, and there are lots of people who still don't know their E7 or E10 heatig is going to break this summer.

    @glynmoody There's no encryption on ours either (Radio teleswitch) although it gets turned off middle of the year with the long wave stuff.
    1970s' design 1980s product. Different world, different risk model.

    @glynmoody We've been doing this for a very very long time indeed. Very old technology. The exciting bit is what happens when your regenerative braking is generating vast amounts of power and you briefly lose contact with the wires.

    Some bits of the underground also have gravity based braking from before even this - there is a rise into station platforms and a fall the other end so that some of the kinetic energy is captured in the rise in height and then turned back the other way as you leave

    @glynmoody Some of the consequences of this are proving hilarious as Americans find out what Chinese people pay for fresh food stuffs and healthcare and about stuff like the idea of ensuring nobody ever starves. Meanwhile Chinese side folks discover Americans all have 2 days off a week. It's a fascinating impromptu social science experiment that I hope some research group somewhere is studying hands on.

    @sjvn Did that at a gig. Fortunately I don't think anyone in the band or audience knew it was a lamp on fire not a nice stage effect.

    Achievement unlocked

    #Fuzix now runs on the classic 6800 CPU using the rcbus-6808 CPU card.

    Took a few small compiler fixes and some other bits and pieces being finished off but with zu2's work on the 6800 code generator all now appears good. Startrek anyway

    @leah V7 has wait() only not waitpid(). The dozen other wait() with extras before waitpid() are all later things
