Espressif published a new soft Emulator for ESP32 SoCs series, you can find all details on their github github.com/espressif/esp-emu…
Question for European makers and DIY sellers:
How do you ship small, low-cost electronics to customers in the US since the new customs rules?
I sell tiny boards (about 8€), but shipping and customs fees now make US orders almost impossible.
Any affordable solutions you've found?

Not cool. Updating to Visual Studio 2026 Community 18.10.3, build 18.10.12224.181 yesterday.
VS decided to quietly just uninstall itself instead. 😡

The worst part is zero visibility, zero communication

Looking for where to buy a set of 608ZZ or 608RS bearings. Those sets on Amazon are horrible and unusable. I need them to make some mechanical stuff (using 3D printed parts). Do you have a nice link? (I don't need Misumi grade ones either ... )
Nice chip
Connect your IoT product to the future.
Our PIC32-BZ6 MCUs help you create smarter, more interactive devices with integrated wireless connectivity, graphics, touch and control.
One chip. Endless possibilities. Get started: mchp.us/4uAJ30K.

Making progress on the ULX4M #FPGA running the Hazard3 RISC-V with working HDMI test pattern on the @Elecrow1 7 inch display.
The 3D printed enclosure is from the ULX3S design. Will add new shell for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module carrier from Waveshare.

Amazing ... nice work
Huge milestone for our team today: TypeScript 7 is now generally available--a native port that runs 10x faster. @typescript devblogs.microsoft.com/types…
Honestly, I don’t know many developers who make a real living from mobile apps. The only apps with serious revenue are mostly games, usually from companies, not solo devs. The ~$1 price culture created by iOS, then Android, was terrible for developers.

Fixing Windows, one kilobyte at a time.
Back in the NT days, Notepad was lean, fast, and stayed in its lane. Today? It wants an account, cloud sync, and Copilot’s opinion.
So I did what any retired OS engineer would do: rebuilt it from scratch.
2,686 bytes. Full features. Zero bloat. Pure Win32.
All in assembly language.
No telemetry. No nonsense. Just the Notepad you remember — only smaller than the thumbnail image!
Would love to hear what you think — and what other “impossible” tiny apps we should tackle next.
nice courses :)
🤖 Ready to get started with Agentic Development in @code?
We've put together 3 free courses covering everything from building your first AI agent to customizing and extending agent workflows.
A quick breakdown 🧵👇

Looking at an Agilent E3646A dual-output PSU. I don’t see anything impressive vs Siglent/Rigol/UNI-T at similar prices. Even the ripple spec, 5 mVpp, feels high for a so-called precision PSU. Found a used one at 180€. Good deal or not?
Very nice a useful article. Thanks for sharing
wow!

Today received this @SipeedIO SLogic 16U3 logic analyzer. Will try to find some free time to test it this weekend
