Step #1 done: I have used up all my Audible credits and cancelled my membership (make sure you do it that way round otherwise you lose your credits). My wife and I are signing up to @libro.fm because we can support an independent #Welsh language bookstore on my doorstep called Cant a Mil.

I have an M2 with 8GB. No complaints here. I code on it, spin up my website in docker, run sql server in docker to test sql project stuff. So long as you aren't unreasonable with your demands it's more than capable imo. My biggest issue has been disk space the stock 250GB hasn't been enough.

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.
It even deals with some weird roads-that-turn-into-footpaths that I run, better than Strava did!

Listening today to “we’ll be done at 11:20”, which was on some other day, whilst talking about *that* day’s yesterday…

We had to go through that pain with my daughter’s personal statement for uni. She wrote the whole thing but we had to revise it because the tool known to be used suggested paragraphs were AI generated / AI advised. Horrible…

Cost me £5 for the connectors and about £25 for the two controllers.

Then I stuck the lightstrip to the outside of the frame. Maybe I could have found a tidier approach by removing the frame and covering it up a bit more I guess, but the Falcon's position in my office means you can't see it normally. So with all that done and a little tweaking of colours later...

All I needed to do was pull back the gum on the underneath of the strip so it fitted in the connector and lined it up with the contacts. Getting the strip to sit in place and keep a clean contact was the hardest bit. The connector then hooks up with the controller.

So I did wonder whether I could use this cutoff somehow and after a bit of research this 4-pin strip just needs a snap on connector and some form of controller. What's more, if I get a zigbee controller I can hook up this non-hue strip to my hue system directly and add it to my office scenes.

But it just doesn't work all that well and it would be cool to light it up but damn those light packs are pricey! I have a 1m cutoff from some non-hue lightstrips that I cut down some time ago. Wasn't really sure if I could reuse them but I did keep them just in case (well done past me)...

...that side of it, not so much with the actual topic she's picked ha. She's super quiet and I did encourage her to approach some of the heads at the uni's she's applied for but she didn't feel confident enough to do that so I think this might sit with her better! I'll get back to you 👍

Ah no way that's so cool and really appreciated. Let me see what she says. This is actually for Welsh Baccalaureate which is an extra course they do to demonstrate skills in research, data collection, evaluating approaches, analysing and presenting data, so naturally Dad can help with...
