How I work is completely changing in 2026 - Part 1: The best professional conversation I had this year wasn’t with a person https://t.co/j1vQKaeYtM

@audible_com it is unethical that you can't cancel membership using mobile view. Pic is same page on mobile vs desktop view

[Stephen Reid @Steef_Reid]

@humpda73 Absolutely, which one?

[Stephen Reid @Steef_Reid]

A happy accident to realise a AAA battery pack fits between @Raspberry_Pi Pico pins! #coding #prototype #LEDs #raspberrypi #pico

[Stephen Reid @Steef_Reid]

Really impressed with @OpenAI #ChatGPT . Used it to collaborate on a #LED animation. Gave it some starting code and then talked through the changes. End result was exactly what I wanted in far less time than it would’ve taken me alone! Great tool for learning to #code #pico #rpi

Testing out ways of connecting cables to #microbit. Paper clips soldered to cable wrapped around M4 bolts working well. Have tried soldering directly to pins but this never seems to work. What else have you tried?

[Stephen Reid @Steef_Reid]

@FlyAirNZ Pretty unimpressed that after our flight to Queenstown was cancelled this morning we still haven't been contacted regarding a rescheduled flight.

Adding light to an old desk I restored using plastic milk bottle, two @microbit via radio and @Kitronik Zip Tile #microbit #workspace #DIY

Make a Paper Craft Octopus with micro:bit! This little octopus brings in its arms when it hears a loud noise. The project uses a servo, micro:bit, and a Bit Board: https://t.co/nxYy9nLSO9

Difficulty: Moderate
Time Required: 01:30:00 - 02:00:00

@innovativeteach @MicrobitG @MSMakeCode Thanks but I’m guessing what I want isn’t possible currently with the way the website works

[Stephen Reid @Steef_Reid]

@MSMakeCode is there a way to link directly into one of the micro:bit tutorials rather than to the MakeCode homepage?

@Nacho_BroChaCho @MSMakeCode @Raspberry_Pi The new Pi Zero 2 should be a significant improvement from what I’ve read

Art, IT, and Design students from Meridan State College in Queensland, Australia collaborated to build this full-size Raspberry Pi Zero-powered arcade.

Oh, and they designed all the games for it too.
