     @thelovebug Yes, you'll need a friend in Czechia to buy them and somehow get them shipped to you. I was lucky, as a colleague brought it with him from his last trip there.

     @thelovebug As its is #OpenHardware, given enough interest, it is also not really a big problem to manufacture them anywhere. But the logistics (and price) of that approach is a Very Different Thing. Also, TBH, it could use an upgrade to a newer ESP version that adds Bluetooth and maybe even NFC for even more fun :)

    Who wants some good news?

    Last week I spoke to a middle school class about cybersecurity as a career, and AI came up. I asked if they had tried to use LLMs to do their schoolwork—they all had. But every student in the class said it didn't work. Why?

    We may finally know why the Arecibo Telescope collapsed.

    Four years after the iconic observatory failed, a new report sheds light on the platform collapse -- and I take you through it step by step in this video.

    The aging power-challenged Voyager 1 spacecraft suffered another glitch 2 weeks ago – it stopped calling home on its regular channel. Here is the sequence of events that transpired -

    Oct 16 – Command sent to turn on a heater
    Oct 18 – X-band signal lost; team surmised that the power-overload triggered the fault protection system and Voyager switched to a low-rate low-power X-band mode
    Oct 18 – DSN looked for lower-rate X-band signal and found it
    (contd)

      Voyager 1 sequence of events contd -

      Oct 19 – Signal lost again; team suspected that Voyager fault protection system was triggered twice more and may have switched to a lower power S-band mode, not used since 1981
      Oct 19 – 3 antennas at DSN Canberra in array mode detected the faint S-band signal
      Oct 22 – Signal sent to validate S-band transmission
      Now analyzing data to diagnose and fix the problem and return to X-band mode.

      The Voyager spacecraft - takes a licking and keeps on ticking 💪

      Voyager 1 seems to have made a full recovery from its recent power-surge caused illness. It is now communicating at it normal data rate of 160 bps using its X-band transmitter.

    My partner randomly found a copy of the 1966 book "Intelligent Life in the Universe" by Shklovky & Sagan in a thrift store. It's like a really great intro astronomy textbook, but with a few really WILD statements thrown in here and there.

    Like the fact that there isn't life on all the planets in our Solar System somehow apparently disproves Communism? (WHAT. That one really isn't explained).

    But the wildest statement: Phobos is probably an artificial satellite. WHAT WHAT WHAT?

    Hands down, the best pair of boots I've ever owned, Jez. LONG break in period! But, now they are an all day boot. No foot, heal, or back pain.

    People are surprised there is no insole. Its all leather (~7layers of leather above the Vibrum heel to your heel.)

    My theory, those padded insoles are too soft & get your feet shifting every step. Then you use your muscles to correct the shift. Muscle fatigue.

    If these go on sale again black Friday/cyber Monday I'm ordering another pair.
