As a developer, what one thing would you never admit to anyone? 🤔

@nixCraft I know what I'm doing.

Package arrival!

This is a great way to start the week! Any fans of these old tv series?

@ausretrogamer never got into Blake 7 not sure why but loved land of the giants. It was shown quite recently on the horror channel.

@olimex I'm having problems with my agon light 2. I've done the MOS update to 1.03, BBC basic to 3.00 but now I can't get any of my PCs to see the esp32. Tried windows 10, 11 just keep getting an error saying the descriptor is invalid. Linux doesn't detect it at all. Any advice?

@Smiffer67@mastodon.social avatar

@olimex yeah. Multiple times before I started to do anything and referred to it during to make sure I was doing it correctly. PCs were doing the same thing before I started the process.

Smiffer67,
@Smiffer67@mastodon.social avatar

@olimex I've tried both enabled and disabled.

@Smiffer67@mastodon.social avatar

@olimex do I need a special USB cable to connect it. Like a USB bridge cable?

Smiffer67,
@Smiffer67@mastodon.social avatar

@olimex checked and double checked. I've only used USB A to USB A from a harddrive that works and a USB C to USB A from my phone both are data.

You can already pre-order ! As a board designer who was given total freedom by Heber Ltd. to design as I thought best, without cost constraints, I am amazed by these LOW prices. Even the standalone unit comes with the custom case. In all sincerity, I don't know how Heber (or @olimex, for that matter) manage this. I thought the standalone unit could be sold for under 100 pounds, but certainly not the full kit...

@TheByteAttic @olimex I'd love to pre order one but can't find anywhere on the site to do it.

Today's brand of #riscos #retrocomputing insanity: trying to build a RISC OS Open (32bit) ROM for the Bush Internet TV set-top box.

@philpem you think this would be possible on an old Sky plus box?

To tell a ~2y old „your fault“ when it jammed its fingers is not exactly peak parenting in my humble opinion 😖

@dec_hl my sister lost her little finger in a door at 3yo. I hate seeing kids playing around doors, drawers etc.
