There's a code sample in the library for a robot. That must be where it's from. There's also heaps of daughterboards and even a keyboard add-on!

They actually do them in white too on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33038999162.html If you order one, you'll need to use the Arduino IDE and install the libraries listed on the Github but it's

I didn't have the space to talk about Mobius, but I'm working on a piece on Dune, of which I can't write about without mentioning Mobius, Dan O'Bannon and Jodorowsky's wild ride. Unfortunately substack has space lim

An earlier draft did have a chunk on Neuromancer, Gibson's hunt and peck typing approach and his new book but I had to take it out as I was at the length limit. I might do something more on some of the characters in Neuromancer when I

Yes. I use RSS-Bridge and Huginn to automate the mixing of RSS feeds into deduplicated feeds, then put that into wallabag which regenerates an RSS feed with excerpts. It sounds a bit bass ackward, but: 1. Huginn sends me and my partner an e
