BMW’s latest “innovation” isn’t about performance or safety. It’s a logo-shaped screw designed to keep owners out of their own cars. We dug into the patent, the intent behind it, and why @adafruit is already working on a custom bit to undo BMW’s attempt to block repair. Learn more at the link below.

Made an "analog" YouTube book for my kid so she can choose what she wants (from pre-approved list) without being exposed to a thumbnail hellscape. Also automatically cuts her off after x scans
On this day in 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia was lost during reentry.
We remember the seven astronauts aboard: Rick Husband, William McCool, Michael Anderson, Ilan Ramon, Kalpana Chawla, Laurel Clark and David Brown, and honor their contributions to space exploration.

"The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them … as they … 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.'"
Ronald Reagan spoke these words to the Nation in an address delivered 40 years ago today. That morning a tragic accident took the lives of the seven astronauts aboard Challenger.
#NASARemembers them on this 40th anniversary of the disaster. Their legacy constantly guides our commitment to learning, vigilance, and safety.
