<p>is there a web version of esptool that has firefox compatibility? a web tangara flasher would be good but i dont fuck with chrome lockin</p>

<p>BOOOO<br />this is an official Nintendo-licensed product and they&#39;re using ICs that fell off a truck? Shame.</p>

<p>FYI If you're looking to pick up an <a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/Aranet4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Aranet4</span></a> for tracking CO2 (usually one helpful indicator of air quality levels especially indoors), they're on sale for 40% off right now. Highly recommend!</p><p><a href="https://aranet.com/en/home/products/aranet4-home" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">aranet.com/en/home/products/ar</span><span class="invisible">anet4-home</span></a></p>

<p>What I&#39;m listening to today: &quot;finish y0 self&quot;, Kist Killa</p><p>Hip-hop noise blast. Like a surreal zoomer meme, or an abrasive joke, but then you let it run a bit and hey yeah this works, as music. The vibe works. When you&#39;re dreaming you don&#39;t question what&#39;s happening to you. I have no idea what this is sampling, I thought the strings were Silent Hill, it sounds like it *could* be, but I checked and no the Silent Hill 1 soundtrack is CD audio and sounds very professional</p><p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/kistkilla/finish-y0-self" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">soundcloud.com/kistkilla/finis</span><span class="invisible">h-y0-self</span></a></p>

<p>To help others progress, I’m going to award several Christmas test gear grants.

<p>I struggled with the cost of hardware development for years, and when someone donated me my first oscilloscope it was a big deal! Seeing the waveforms really helped me to advance my understanding and the complexity of the projects I could undertake.</p>

<p>Another reason is that it can be expensive, and not just for the physical components. We generally need more of a lab than software developers. Test gear is essential for learning how your circuit is actually behaving, matching simulation to the real world. And it’s usually expensive.</p>

<p>It’s become a cliche, but hardware is hard! One reason why hardware is harder than software is that the time between revisions is often longer. We need to wait for new PCBs, or for components to be delivered. Or for more new PCBs after we realise we got it wrong!</p>
