Qualcomm is acquiring Arduino, and they're launching a new SBC (Uno Q) combining a Dragonwing SoC with an Arduino microcontroller in the Uno form factor. What implications does this have for makers and education? Quick video covering the news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfKX616-nsE

I wonder if Microsoft secretly wants everyone to switch to Linux. There are certainly fewer reasons to stick to Windows every day: https://www.theverge.com/news/793579/microsoft-windows-11-local-account-bypass-workaround-changes

15 excellent years with my beautiful bride, with a new baby born on average every 3 years! Happy Anniversary!

I'm trying a small test on 2nd channel, want to see impact from a large desktop audience, as I've seen a 30-50% decline in views (without a drop in other metrics).

PIS IN SPACE! Today's video on CubeSats was over a year in the making—and deals with two of my favorite things: Raspberry Pis, and space!

Also making a special guest appearance is Gabe from saveitforparts, using SDR to track sats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvN3sE2Nv4U

I built my first Minisforum desktop using a barebones MS-A1, to send to Gabe from Saveitforparts as a video editing workstation.

It didn't go according to plan, but it's a neat way to build a custom PC. Wish it either fit in 1U or housed a 15mm U.2 drive! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdZ9Kx69HjI

Do not let perfect be the enemy of good.

A few times a year, I pick up an old movie or book and have a watch/read through again.

1-2 decades later, the same material can have a lot different impact.

I'm glad I have the physical media, too. I can be sure Disney or Amazon or whoever didn't go changing the story lol

You'll own NOTHING and be HAPPY! That's what I've been hearing a lot, lately. Quick video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAsgjKBkKMA

@mattl yes, still getting up to speed on it though

Well that was easy. Wanted to get data from my Acurite 5-in-1 weather station into my Pi 5.

1. Plug in @Nooelec NESDR + antenna
2. Install: sudo apt install -y rtl-433
3. Run: rtl_433

And bingo! Decoding all the weather data.

Made a quick L2J video on Stop Killing Games — I doubt the initiative will get enough votes, but more visibility for consumer rights regarding game software is good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhw-1a2b9kY

Computer History Museum was pretty awesome. Thanks for all the recommendations!

Apple doesn't realize how many hours I spend every iOS release trying to explain to family members with iOS devices how to use the same app (Photos) which is completely redesigned every year.

RIP. Something deceivingly simple like overlapping windows on a display was not so simple back when Bill Atkinson programmed it on the Macintosh.

Wish we had that feature on the iPad!

Sipeed's NanoCluster holds up to 7 Compute Modules in 6cm—how are the power limits? Does it throttle? Can you run distributed LLMs?

All those questions—and many more—answered in today's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEtpaiODNs0

Self hosting your own media considered harmful (according to YouTube...). https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/self-hosting-your-own-media-considered-harmful

Oh we're gonna do this again YouTube?

Self-hosting your own media content on a Raspberry Pi is not "dangerous or harmful".

I'm appealing of course; they're saying installing LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi circumvents copyright?!
