oh... the error count changes depending on which sheet I run ERC on... hm.
Oh good. After annotating 8 of the 9 parts missing annotation, the error count went UP by 43. (I can't find the 9th one.)
I'm going to need much more tea.
Save this screenshot for the next time you think: "wow, this project is really out of control..."
I offer you this piece. I call it: "At least this isn't the state of *your* ERC."

A milestone - KiCanvas's schematic viewer now supports selecting symbols and viewing their information. 🎉
It's kind of funny, since I'd already had this working in the proof of concept (& the version on my blog), but this is a completely re-built viewer. It's much faster, much smoother, and much more robust.

Do you love SCSI and vintage Macs? Well good news!
The NEW and improved BlueSCSI 2.0 has arrived!
Offers faster speeds, delicious new Pico-powered PCBs, and less battery bombs!*
*Not actually proven, always remove old batteries!

A good Python library and a set of tools for creating, reading, writing, inspecting, and manipulating Intel HEX files. It's handy also for processing the output of CP/M assemblers and compilers.
@north If you watch Bugeja's video, one layer is a serpentine trace. That trace heats the entire board.
The circuit itself is a controller to get a proper reflow profile.
So you manually manage the power on the first one. After that, you have a controller for the following boards.
He's using SnBiAg solder paste, which melts at 138C.
ICMYI, Carl Bugeja created a PCB that reflow solders itself and then self-propagates, RepRap Style!

@blitzcitydiy Too far? Or not too far enough?
@trinsec In his demo, I think it was snake. But he says the dual-color 42 LEDs were to match a Connect 4 board ...
This clever PCB business card uses FR4 "fingers" to create a battery holder for the coin cell!
ZSWatch is an open-source smartwatch based on Zephyr RTOS and powered by an u-blox SoM. bald.ee/u1gngn
I wish 2FA authenticator apps supported QR-Codes to locate the appropriate site/code.
It's kind of silly that in 2023 I have to text-search for the site each time.
I used a Macrium to clone my live Win10 drive to a larger NVMe. I have lots of node-restricted licenses.
So far, the only thing that seems to care is Adobe CC.
How did it know?
@jeffrizzo Yeah. For that exact reason, even the "--- Blocked Message ---" text is annoying.
It's like Discord said: "what is the least useful way we can implement this function?" Put all their ideas on the whiteboard and then said: "let's do that!"
There is one server I still use block extensively, though. It at least helps me scan the channels for interesting questions.
@jeffrizzo It also doesn't stop notification / unread indicators.
So, it is pretty useless.

Hey Makers! I will say this again.
It's okay if you don't finish a project.
Did you learn something along the way?
Did you have fun?
Did you enjoy yourself?
Hopefully you got *something* out of it.
The journey *can* be the reward...
You can lose interest, you can get stuck, you can put things aside.
Don't feel bad about it.
Get rid of any bad feelings you have about unfinished projects, because we've all got 'em.
And that's okay.
