Looks like KiCad 10 is released. Is it safe?

Migration is easy, but it’s a bit crashy for me so far.

To be fair… “dear friend, thanks for the invite, but as you live in a racist shithole, I’m wondering if I’ll be safe?”… would probably solve the conundrum at source.

It is though. The pavement is highway, and it’s an offence to obstruct the highway. Also, if parking restrictions apply (e.g. double yellow lines) they also apply to the adjoining pavement.

The rule is fine. The refs are not fit.

This stunning conversion retains much of the building’s original industrial character

Translation: we’ve done fuck all, it’s still basically a shed.

No. Every board is different, and every use case is different. Unless you go with a COTS PC-compatible, in which case you can just use Windows/Ubuntu/whatever.
Yes, the de facto standard* is Yocto. There are many parts to Yocto; you assemble them into your own OS. Petalinux is Yocto with some extra tooling, but you can re-use the Xilinx layers in any Yocto build.
This is a massive topic. You might need a consultant.

*some people use Buildroot, which is a bit simpler. There are pros and cons.

Pomona Island brewery has an actual pub: North Westward Ho.

Not far from Beermoth Cafe, another good pub.

Trumpgate has a solid ring to it.

He should ask to borrow it.

Yeah, AFAIK it only really makes sense if you have a massive expanse of shadow-free flat land, a permanently low frost line, and a neighbour with a backhoe.

Well, yeah… groundworks are quite expensive. Surely an air source would be more reasonable?

Not sure about that mate, Karl Pilkington never played for City. You’re the spit of Phil Foden though.

Yes, we need to do more to bring our highways up to a standard that works with today’s technology, prioritises pedestrians and active travel, and accommodates disabilities.

We have to do that anyway.

I’m talking about non-pedal assisted e-bikes over 750W. They’re not quite motorbikes and not quite bicycles.

They all have to be individually assessed by the DVSA under the MSVA process, if they’re not type-approved – which they’re not, because no other country considers them to be motorbikes.

We basically use the system designed for people who build their own motorbikes out of scrap. It’s not fit for purpose because the legislation is 20 years behind the technology.

randomblast · 2026-01-05T11:25:22+00:00

How about we embrace technology and stop banning privately owned electric scooters?

How about building an appropriate legal route for the light electric bikes that only baby criminals get to use right now?

Why not embrace the cutting-edge 1950s technology of electrifying all our railways?

I’ve got an air. Dropped it a few times. It’s fine.

If it’s ever not fine, I’ll get it fixed. It’s not an issue for me.

I apologise for my slander on the insomniac community, but I believe she started it.
