Apparently they don't have enough badges for every #why2025 attendee? Is that true?

@itsOasus certainly not

Today's AI bullshit: Webex randomly said to me in a TTS voice that an AI generated transcript and summary of the meeting will be created. I was alone in the meeting at that point and just said "nein?" to myself and disabled the feature. So the summary only goes off of the word "nine" since I guess the speech model expects English :neofox_googly_woozy:

@dnalounge @jaeger nice, thanks! I have a similar multi-line single-color display from Daktronics so I thought it might be that.

@jaeger @dnalounge now that's a nice LED sign! Got any infos on it?

i don't need a special day to be a fool

Drop-in replacement for an LED display controller :3 I have 5 of those displays. Funnily enough, those were the first passenger information displays I ever owned, I got 4 of them after writing to transport operators all across Germany, and one recently from a friend. Back then, I designed a replacement controller with a simple Arduino Nano, which was my first custom PCB ever. That was around 10 years ago. About time to refresh those displays with something more modern!

The benefits of a working inventory management system: Checking which parts I needed to buy was super quick and easy. Turns out I have everything in stock except for the Ethernet chip and RJ45 jack as well as most of the pluggable terminal blocks!

Unfortunately, those are the most expensive parts :neofox_shocked:

The boards are assembled~ :3

There it is printed out @LumiaP2L :3

ich glaub mein wahlomat ist kaputt hä

I laid 87 meters of LED string all around my home for the ✨vibes✨ :3 don't judge the janky power injection points too hard uwu

Software wise, nothing exciting, just WLED integrated into Home Assistant.

I think the end result is pretty cozy :neofox_floof_happy:
