Better! I added a runt filter for the sync pulses on my my pico based rgb-uvc adapter; much better - it's just running on another PIO sm, and so other than an extra wire, it's still component-free.
My BBC Master's sync is really nasty; it looks that way on the main board, I'm not sure if it's the 6845 or the croma chip or what.
(Yellow is Beebs input, blue is unrunted)

A scope screenshot; a yellow trace shows a main center low going pulse in the middle, but a lot of false short pulses all along.   A cyan trace on channel 2 is a cleaned up version.

#FlyingLess puts you in iconic #trains, like this Polish-German InterCity. That’s a decent way to end the #EAAST conference. Including, of course,
VEGAN CABBAGE!🥬

Snapshot from Wroclaw station, where we stopped to say goodbye to the restaurant part of the train that is not allowed to travel to Germany. Old railway station, charming, blue sky.

RE: fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app
I’ve heard reports exactly like this in • every • single • election • since 2004. And every time, when somebody finally manages to get to the bottom of it, it turns out the culprit is garbage UI design — not the machine secretly changing votes (because why would it •show• the user if it’s actually cheating?!).
But these breathless stories about touchscreen voting aren’t going die unless touchscreen voting itself dies — because it’s a terrible idea.
Paper ballots, marked directly by the voter themselves, validated and counted in an optical scanner. It’s not rocket science, folks.

RE: #TOTP because I used it to set up the Now Playing bot. The first two tracks were S Club 7 - Reach, and Stephen Gateley - New Beginning.
And indeed that's what the TOTP Archives website confirms was on the original broadcast back in the year 2000: totparchive.co.uk/episode.php?
But if you go to the iPlayer version (bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m003), the first two tracks are Len - Cryptik Souls Crew, and Doves - Catch The Sun.
The rest of the stream then proceeds as per the broadcast version. How very strange.

The irony of this post including a screenshot from X is of course just…beyond severe.
Her main point still stands.
