tldr: Adafruit had some dispute with Sparkfun over "harassing actions" by Sparkfun staff, to which Sparkfun responded by cutting off Adafruit from selling Teensy products and posting this weird notice, so Adafruit made their own "Teensy-compatible" PCBs called "Freensy" that they will be selling
Today @sparkfun.bsky.social is dropping @adafruit.com over CoC violations, and what timeline even is this? www.sparkfun.com/official-res...

Over the break I spent time on my complete remake of MacPaint (with some quality-of-life improvements). I started in 2024 and intended to release for the 40th anniversary, but MacPaint has way more god damn features than I think anyone remembers. Here's some video of me using the latest build. 😄

i hear the high power demand of all these new datacenters for ai is requiring upgrades to the power infrastructure to deliver it all
so once the ai bubble bursts i guess we'll still have an upgraded power infrastructure
maybe we can trick these idiots into funding other things that we need

I was going to be a bit more celebratory today with getting the last video of the year finished and stuff, then it got dropped on me pretty hard this morning that over the weekend we lost an icon in the world of tech reporting.

The boxed copies of my Mac software that I sold at VCF Midwest this August had these registration postcards in them
I finally got my first reply mailed in, it's a Festivus miracle!

my kid went to an art thing and they got CDRs to draw on because apparently such things are worthless now, but one of them had this magnificent label that seems kind of sad to discard
