Engineering masterpiece 👌

@tian_liang Shinobi was my other favourite! I knew all the bonus stages like a choreography, I was throwing the shuriken and the ninjas were landing on them much later! aahhh those were the times! Can't do that anymore

[Nick Tsakonas @ntsakas]

@tian_liang No idea, and I never checked whether this is how the game is supposed to work. I was playing it every afternoon that summer and I was able to reach the last level without losing any lives! (I could do the same with Cabal and Shinobi and finish both without losing any players!)

it is @AmazonUK day: why a product like this https://t.co/WFuZghOIGF which has reviews that is a scam (verified purchase) is still listed AND is Amazon's choice? Are the reviews mixed with another seller? Where is the fault?

[Nick Tsakonas @ntsakas]

And speaking of @AmazonUK , there were 2 cases lately where the total to pay did not match the sum of the items price-no matter how you try to do the math it was about 3-5 GBP more. If there was one thing I did not have to worry about, was that the total is correct. Not anymore.

[Nick Tsakonas @ntsakas]

I am troubled by @AmazonUK : they used to pack a usb drive into an A3 size carton box, and now they pack 3-4 different items in A5 envelopes. 50% of the times, there are missing items. When you try to re-order the missing item, just 2 days later it is much more expensive. Weird!

[Nick Tsakonas @ntsakas]

😃 not anymore!

We mourn the passing of Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, who piloted humanity’s first voyage to the surface of another world. An advocate for exploration, @AstroMCollins inspired generations and his legacy propels us further into the cosmos: https://t.co/47by569R56

@MrTomsWorld if you got it for less than $5 then you "almost" sourced the components at a very cheap price!

Started a small hardware design project and I read "Free range VHDL" book on one sitting today! #vhdl from zero to one! The button on the site (https://t.co/MejGz173WP) does not work but the latest version is available here

Respect to all the engineers who , amongst others, designed Perseverance's landing system. Especially for the software part, a great example that software can run flawlessly the first time it is pushed in production! #NASAPerseverence #SoftwareTesting

watching all 3 feeds of Perseverance landing!I do not want to miss anything! #nasa #Perseverance watch it here now! https://t.co/TAdDnyFzNo

day2: pico arrived, connected and compiled and run blink example in no time!size is almost the same with my stm32 and nucleo board, slightly larger than an arduino nano. #raspberrypipico

[Nick Tsakonas @ntsakas]

8:00am, get up, making coffee, message on WhatsApp from a friend "hey, raspberry pico is out!", before coffee is ready, order is already shipped! a classical lockdown morning! hope to have blinker running by tomorrow!
