@xkcd.com makes local news

writing an SWD probe for #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer that would be usable with probe.rs!

I am so looking forward to @oflynn.com new book; colinoflynn.com/making-it-sm...

#wispier #hackerbox has ARRIVED! COOL! THANKS @hackerboxes.bsky.social #wigle @se.gfau.lt @463n7.bsky.social @jhewitt.net

implemented a script for #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer that lets you discover the connectivity of any IC with JTAG boundary scan, provided you can give the IC an arbitrary stimulus (here done by using a glasgow output connected to a needle point probe)

So I'm trying to identify a pill that went astray. There's something written on it but it's too small to read. So I photo-zoomed it. Spironolactone - a water pill. Guess what was written on the pill...

which tool should i develop today? i'm thinking about one that uses JTAG boundary scan to help you discover the pinout of boards you reverse engineer

After last year's woodpecker attack, we reinforced the birdhouse with a fan grille 😅. It worked! This year's tit family is happy, and the nestlings are already peeking out!

Donald Trump tried to sue Paramount-owned CBS. First, Paramount tried to dismiss the lawsuit, calling it "without basis." Now, they're settling. Why the sudden change? Paramount needs approval from Trump for an $8 BILLION merger. Is this bribery? I'm pushing to find out.

The minimum cost of living in the U.S. now rests at $67K. As a tenured professor, I was making $54K. Office staff were making mid 30s. Our department chairs, deans, and vice chancellors were all making healthy six figures and giving themselves pay raises. No raises for us, though.

Tariffs just got real: our first $36K bill with 125% + 20% + 25% markup hits hard 💸. These are upfront costs - due before selling a single unit - causing serious cash flow strain, price increases, read more! 📦 adafruit.com/tariffbill #tariffs

To avoid tariffs, why not set up a warehouse in a low tariff country, and ship from China to the warehouse and then to the US?

10 probes was not enough, so I ordered an extra set to combine to 1 with 20 probes

implemented a high performance ARM JTAG debug probe (for ARM7TDMI) that can do about 1 MB/s of useful bandwidth at 24 MHz TCK, bottlenecking on waiting for core synchronization

My wife is channeling her heritage and making chureg (a traditional Easter bread). It has a heavenly scent of the maleb spice used. It's a moist, slightly sweet bread. This plus a sharp cheddar cheese makes a wonderful Easter breakfast, with a side of scrambled eggs

We all need to dedicate the rest of our lives to destroying the republican party

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Are you a federal worker fired by the DOGE? Are you wondering what your rights are? Rise Up: Federal Workers Legal Defense Network just launched to bring together thousands of lawyers and connect them with federal workers for direct legal support. WorkersLegalDefense.org
