he/him/they/them - Tech at Gadgetoid.com, (Micro)Python wrangler at @Pimoroni.com, documenter of Pi’s at pinout.xyz and pico.pinout.xyz, perpetually exhausted parent, possibly some kind of artist, dabble in music… Oh and a ~50% deaf, ADHD mess.
- Tado’s install guide- step by step via the app- is remarkably committed to letting you self install safely and correctly. I think I did okay 🤣 (I re-secured the thicker flex afterwards… need to replace the older bit 😬)
- Spent far too long trying to root my Nest with 11 year old code…. The thing only flashes up a bootloader briefly and doesn’t hang about. Can seem to load the first stage but everything else fails 🫠
- Oookaaaayyyyyy
- 😐
- Steam Deck has arbitrarily decided it hates my 5GHz wifi network and only streams PS5 for 20 minutes… 🫠 It’s been working great for ages - I finished GoW and Ragnarok via Chiaki but it has just decided to nope out.
- A Pimoroni Badger 2040 / 2040W test release based on MicroPython 1.25.0… github.com/pimoroni/bad... Trying very hard not to go a whole year between releases 🤣

- Yeaaaaaaahh so MicroPython's `machine.Pin().toggle()` is broken on RP2350B (> 32 GPIOs) and that's probably my fault for missing the wood for the trees. And I only discovered this because someone reported that the output of `__repr__` / `__str__` was broken.

- Me trying to fixate on one thing… Traxxas TRX-4M Ford Bronco enters the chat
- I dunno why, but if you mention headlice I will feel like I have headlice for weeks and it never amounts to anything. I think I probably become acutely aware of how badly my inability to avoid all the things I’m allergic to affects my skin.
- It's all fun and games until your hyperfixation demands £2000 of <insert hobby of the month here> kit.
- Reviewed the Roland GO:KEYS 3 - I'd take some envelope sliders, or a couple of assignable filter knobs just to make it really fun, but otherwise it's a great bit o' kit - gadgetoid.com/2025/05/08/r...

- This website is just the worst parts of Twitter all over again 🫠
- The only redeeming feature of AI is that I can completely ignore it for as long as I want and - by design - not be at a disadvantage should I ever pick it up. If it’s not good enough to approach with zero foresight and knowledge it’s not good enough.
