. @racheleats the chip omelette is basically the national dish of Tanzania, known as chipsi mayai (chips and egg in Swahili). It's cold chips reheated in a frying pan, then an egg is poured over the top. It's served raw in the middle with lashings of chilli sauce.

@greyhathackr This actually started life as something very similar, but it broke and I took it apart to fix it, and it got a bit out of hand.

I wanted to add Bluetooth to a pair of wired headphones. They work, but I'm not sure I've absolutely nailed the aesthetic design part of it.

[Mastodon: @[email protected] @ben_everard]

To answer the point everyone's making -- yes they would be better with a different colour tape, but I only had clear tape to hand and wanted to test them out.

[Mastodon: @[email protected] @ben_everard]

So this is popular. I don't know if that means I should keep the headphones as they are or not wear them again until they're tidied up.

@microspacer Still going strong on one charge.

[Mastodon: @[email protected] @ben_everard]

@hyrulian It does indeed.

@xeroshoesuk Apparently I can't DM you.

[Mastodon: @[email protected] @ben_everard]

@xeroshoesuk my sandals broke after a few wears and your support email isn't responding to emails.

I've got a package sent with a company called 'Expediators'. It's currently in Bristol & it's being sent to Bristol. Estimated delivery is 4 days.

It needs to travel 16 miles, so it's estimated speed is 0.16mph. That is slower than a tortoise.

They need to change their name

Controversial summertime opinion: I'm a meat eater, but when I BBQ, I only do vegetarian food. It's just better on the grill.

@TheMagPi @Raspberry_Pi Interesting choice of meme given the Jesus is probably the most famous example of someone who also has a special day that's not their birthday. 25th December is Christ's mass but not his birthday. May 4th is Star Wars day, but not it's birthday.

@TheMagPi If it's not one of these made out of the latest cover, I'll be disappointed: https://t.co/P0dxOckogy

@Icynectarine @HackSpaceMag @Raspberry_Pi Yes, but it requires quite a bit of equipment, takes a long time and is prone to failure. We're looking at easier cheaper solutions.

🚨 HEY EVERYONE 🚨

The Secret Life of Machines is BACK with a new series!

First episode came out today on YouTube: https://t.co/F1lNYFjCxE

Let's get #TimHunkin trending. He would find that HILARIOUS.

@whaleygeek I don't think that's the best way of using it. I do think that's the way it will end up being used.

I tried to get ChatGPT to write an article on creating a Midi Keyboard using a Raspberry Pi Pico and Circuit Python. It produced code that didn't work, a circuit diagram without and components and 'interesting facts' that were neither interesting nor facts.

My wife is out of the country for 9 days. Trying to take full advantage of her absence, all I can think of is whether I can buy a couple of extra bird feeders before she gets back and tells me we don't need any more bird feeders.

Also don't take career advice from Twitter, especially not my Twitter.

[Mastodon: @[email protected] @ben_everard]

Lots of people asking what people learning to program should do in light of chatgpt. Having played with it for a bit, I think the answer is 'learn to test thoroughly'. We're about to be inundated with very dubious code and good testers might be worth their weight in gold.
