Thousands of people made their way through Leeds last week to witness the spectacular installations for #LightNightLeeds2022.
Thank you to the organisers, sponsors and volunteers that made the night a success! We loved being a part of it.

⭐️ New office addition ⭐️ The #Prusa Mini+ 3D printer! As well as having a colour LCD screen that lets you preview your models before printing, it has all the same functions as our Original Prusa i3 MK3S printer. However, it differs slightly in its extrusion system 👇

New office tech 👇
The #RaspberryPi #PicoW is the latest member of the @Raspberry_Pi Pico family⭐️
Built around the #RP2040 chip, it is a low-cost #microcontroller board with added #WiFi, which is ideal if you want to use it for an #IoT device.

We had a fantastic day at #LivMF22 showcasing @MadeInvaders. It’s always a privilege to be a part of this event, and it wouldn’t happen without the amazing volunteers that run @LpoolMakeFest every year 👏
We’ll be highlighting some of our favourite makers later in the week👀
Who could say "no" to inviting such a cute elder god to join their reality!

The latest edition of @HackSpaceMag reminded me of the exhibition our director @defproc worked on with @DoESLiverpool @amcewen @cheapjack 🦾
Displayed at @FACT_Liverpool, we installed a production line for prosthetic hands using #3Dprinting 🙌

One year ago today I shared a brainstorm of an idea, a slim board swap that could add serious smarts and sensors to a classic Casio wristwatch. TONIGHT, I'm thrilled to share that you can back Sensor Watch on @crowd_supply and get one of your own!! 🎉 crowdsupply.com/oddly-specif…
Ah, yes, the biggest security threat to QR codes is... stickers! Although attacks that make use of this have been few and far between so far. #QRcode

IoT is: "devices connected to the internet that don't have a screen" - is the a better/shorter/more succinct definition?
#IoT #InternetofThings
Why should we care about #IoT?
👉 The industry is booming, with spending expected to grow at 26.7% annually this year & beyond [@AnalyticsIoT].
👉 IoT devices can gather (and interpret) mass amounts of data.
👉 It creates convenience and promotes optimization!

It's the perfect time of year to (re)read/watch #Hogfather for a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas, all rituals and being a human being!

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.
How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.
