Nothing In Particular

Speaking of trains, I wondered if this was Phil on the Nottingham Station footbridge - probably not very likely ...

LOL.

Not me squire, long time since I was there, late 1950s from memory. And, my white trainers are not that white.

Not good. Not good at all...

Not that state actors would be interested in little old me, but thankfully all of my esp32 devices are behind pretty serious defences This is not a good look for Espressif.

Oh dear
I have four - three heaters and a Shelly relay
Not sure what to do about it though

phew... I have retired all mine now. They all seemed to have hardware issues revolving round the watchdog timer and soft reboot area.

thinking about it a bit more....my esp32s were all standalone with sim900 mobile modems so I doubt I would have been vulnerable.

the current weather stations are all off the shelf ecowitt interfaces....but if I recall they use the espressif predecessor to esp32 so I may still be vulnerable.

Google street view.

I'm doing a train trip to Milton Keynes soon and was scouting railway stations. Should be an interesting trip, and alternative to going to Kings Cross then back up the country.

No, just seemed strikingly similar.

Have anyone noticed the increasing use of AI chatbox stuff in sellers' adverts on eBay? Easy to spot and utterly verbose - useless. If I read, for example, '....that will take your guitar playing to the next level...' or blahblah guitar amplifier is perfact for guitars, just one more time, I will scream.

I see that a lot in the motoring section.

Sad really.

[Morgan Jones]

But it makes it so much easier to decide whether you are dealing with a straight seller.

[Daniel Quinn]

The example quoted is not so much 'verbose' as bullshit

[andrew Ivimey]

Don't sugar coat it Danny, tell it straight!

I was looking at a TT2 on eBay the other day which was apparently “designed for acoustic solutions” and “engineered for connectivity”.

Have to say that I don’t remember having either of those aims in mind at the time, although I guess if I hadn’t engineered it for connectivity it wouldn’t have provided an acoustic solution for anyone.

Pinched-nose sound fx...."Paging Mr Ivimey, attention MrI..."

You lucky fella, they're in your home town.
